mark bridger case

http://news.sky.com/story/995771/april- ... t-remanded

it seems as though it could be a while before we get a guilty verdict out of this guy... and it also doesnt seem like he is giving any information on the whereabouts of April... im betting he has said no comment to everything they have asked him.

it could be next yr before they even get out of him where April is... i cant believe its going to be january before they even get a guilty or not guilty plea out of him..

sadly it seems with all the current efforts they may not find her causing yet more pain for the family.

I think he will take April's location to the grave with him if she is not found.
The should let everyone who knew her get it out of him. :evil:

they wouldnt have charged him if the evidence they had against him didnt stand up...

Yeah, I know it's a sensitive case but innocent until proven guilty. However, the police must know something but just can't prove it. They wouldn't have confirmed him as the arrested person before they'd charged him if they didn't have some kind of knowledge linking him to it.

Serial killers often love the power of knowing where the body is without telling anyone. Look at Brady not telling the mother of that poor Moors lad where his body was. He loved it. Like a previous poster said, if he is found guilty or admits to it then let the family take him into a room where anything goes and get it out of him. As far as I am concerned if you take a life then you surrender your right to any human rights.

I reckon they (the CPS) are 100% sure he is.

they are under huge pressure to get a result in this case, mistakes can happen. Innocent till proven guilty, but i cant help thinking something doesnt sit quite right with this whole case

Re: mark bridger case

they must have the evidence, but due to the public interest in the case, im sure we wont get to hear any of it until after the trial.. unfortunately even if they have all the evidence stacked up, he does have the right to a fair trial...

My guess is that most of the evidence is circumstantial, (opportunity, means, motive) but one or two other pieces of evidence (whatever they are) nail it on he's guilty. They cannot charge him with circumstantial evidence alone.

Case appaers strange to me. Why charge with 3 offences as 2 will not really count in sentencing (if guilty).

The perverting course of justice one seems a defensive one to protect the police if he is found not to have done it or found not guilty.
They can fall back on that and escape false arrest claims.

However they surely must have evidence (not revealed yet).

Seems now guilty until proven. Innocent. Met say saville. Serial. Sex offender? Didn't know was convicted! Or charges bought. Against. Him! Same here need to get someone. For crime. CPA didn't sound convincing when bringing. Charges!

to get a murder conviction with no body is very very rare.

the perverting the course of justice charge is specific to the hiding and/or concealment of the body.

Not so rare anymore, it can be done.
This from Wiki >>> "Conviction for murder in the absence of a body is possible; although historically, cases of this type have been hard to prove, the prosecution must rely on other evidence, usually circumstantial. Recent developments in forensic science make it less likely that such a murder will go unpunished"
Let's just hope they can prove it.

If not him though, then who?
Otherwise, who ever did do it, could still have her alive and well.

For the sake of the family, this needs to end as soon as. :(

The police are convinced it's him.
Yes they have been wrong in the past for sure, but I would rather they keep him banged up, so no other little child suffers the same just because we are too soft. :evil:

Not one person, even his own family, have come out to defend him and say theyve got the wrong man.

Re: mark bridger case

Wed Oct 10, 2012 11:35 am

They must know its him down to the fact they were granted extra days to keep hold of him for questioning. But as has been said it all depends on the evidence they have against him

id say its 99% certain, if guilty i hope he doesnt get off on a technicality like not being able to find her body.

They must surely have her DNA in the car or something, though i imagine thats not enough to convict someone of murder.

Strange that he should be crying in court the other day, if he's innocent.

That poor little girl. Terrible case.

well if you wanted to argue it, you could say hes worried about being found guilty for something he didnt do? and also, even if he didnt do it his life is now over.

he wouldnt make eye contact with anyone thats not the actions of an innocent man.

If you were innocent and being accused of sych crimes youd be screaming / pleading

None of us know the evidence so none of us can say 100% whether he is guilty or not
