Lawyers warn social media over Mikaeel case

Those posting material online need to do so responsibly and sensibly.”

The hounders will see that as their escape clause.....

Those vultures are incapable of anything resembling 'responsibility', Lily. But they might like to bear in mind that lawyers will ALREADY be scouring the internet for material that could prejudice a fair trial - and the vultures are providing that amply.

I can see the day coming when potential jurors' internet use is going to be taken into consideration before they're allowed anywhere near a jury box; pitchforkers and lynchmobbers will automatically be disbarred.

As well they should be. It will be no use for them to argue about their so called 'rights' either.

Some of them, well one in particular, has tried hard to worm out of the responsibility angle to no avail.

As I've said on the other thread, NO public comments, please, they will be deleted.

I think you know we won't, Bonny. Thanks for the link.

I know no-one here will, Lily. But those idiots on the we-hate-the-McCanns sites are STILL running their mouths off.

If they think lawyers aren't already scouring the UK-centred internet for material which is likely to wreck the chance of a fair trial, then they don't know much about Edinburgh lawyers.

Ah well, on their own consciences be it.

Don't they supposedly have er 'legal experts' on those sites?

Obviously not, Lily, or they would have known they should have STFU several days ago.

They sure have been shown up for what they are.

The internet IS being watched:

UK database for sex offences against children Jan Jamieson, Yes I agree, but allowing comments on this one case would put this whole page at risk. We have had a warning off police, for some of the vile comments that have been made over the past few days.

Anyone still allowing comments on this matter has only themselves to blame if they find themselves in hot water.

This may be the way of the future.

It always happens when people won't behave themselves, Lily, especially where something as important as this matter is concerned.

Then they will start complaining. Maybe starting a petition and so on. While all the time.....  

Unfortunately, not a surprise to see some - thankfully, not all - of the numties and haters demonstrating that they don't understand the concept of things like Sub Judice and Contempt of Court.

One load of numties are indeed inventing new conspiracy theories because unlike the responsible media, they are ignoring the law.

No doubt they think they are entitled to carry on with their asinine speculation.

Conspiracy theories seem to be the only thing that makes sense to some.

And their conspiracy theories are always based on misinformation and outright ignorance.

Which becomes a self perpetuating downward spiral for their beliefs.

Myths found this interesting link - a few people elsewhere should read it and take heed:

Dead Children and the Law

Quote:

Legal cases are heard in a court, not on the internet. Malicious communications are criminal. Uninformed malicious communications are based on flimsy opinion without any knowledge about what the evidence actually is. It makes the task more difficult for investigators, lawyers and judges when, in addition to a serious criminal case, there is a maelstrom of online gossip.

Wonderful advice from that international barrister, Felicity Gerry.

Whilst we wholeheartedly agree with her, there are still those who think this will not apply to them as they are the world's super duper extraordinary armchair defectives. They know who they are.

A handsome couple of trolls - NOT.

This is just the start......

I wonder what their usernames are on some of the anti mccann sites......
