PC Andrew Harper

[puntabrava]

PC Harper’s death was the result of years of inactivity by the police in policing this sub group of society. The individuals had a chance to make a decision to stop straight away but their mindset they have been brought up with is that they are untouchable and can do as they want. This officers blood is on the hands of those in the dock but also many leading police officers and judiciary.

Damned right and have said it myself.

PC Andrew Harper murder trial: Accused feels 'disgraceful' over death

Henry Long says he did not know the officer was caught in a tow rope attached to his getaway car.

Makes interesting reading. As does the mugshots - "three stripes for life" Adidas gopnik; one with a "fast looking" dog, and the other caught by night vision.

"He told the court he was a "thief" like his father and grandfather, stealing quad bikes and mechanical equipment."

Sigh.

Sigh too.

"Following their convictions, it can now be revealed jurors in the trial had to be given special protection after police received intelligence associates of the killers had planned to intimidate them."

And a travesty that it's manslaughter not murder charge

Manslaughter can carry a life sentence.
Sadly it won`t though.

I hope there families get hounded out of the country. I feel abit for good honest gypsies but there isnt many of them left anymore, majority do not condem the bad ones enough and it doesnt do them any favours. Police should be backed up more to tackle them, alot of rural crime is still mostly done by travellers or irish pikeys

Googled it and can be life for manslaughter but typically 2-10 years.
Threats of intimidation and laughing as heard their sentence and when they left court. Obviously no remorse and hope judge locks them away for as long as possible. Utter scum.

 

[Grassman]

Only way that these scum will ever change is for the police and courts to take the crime they commit seriously. I read yesterday some "tree surgeons" charged an old man £150 to cut some garden shrubbery then intimidated him for another £400 to clear up the rubbish.
Needs to be zero tolerance.

Lets hope they go to different prisons otherwise they will treat it as a lads jolly

I'd fully expect time in jail as the killer of a policeman to be less than 100 percent jolly.

Was always going to be manslaughter though.

Having sean the cheeky smirking smiles of the three to the press in bbc videos today you realise how vile these people are, honestly they need shooting. Feel for the jury who are under threat too

Its a horrific case but if the jurors who sat through the case couldn't feel they convict them of murder (and personally I can see why - beyond all reasonable doubt being key etc) I have to say I trust the legal system here.

It will be interesting to see how long they get sentenced for. Hopefully a long time.

Those pictures weren't recent. I was horrified to see them and went to check but they were from time of arrest
