Barry George is free, and we the taxpayers get to give him some compensation for his unearned jail time. I said the day he was convicted that this was a nonsense case and things would end as they have. Someone out there knows who did it - but it's always more expedient to put away some harmless weirdo for a few years and then give him a pay off. So the citizenry is cheated twice over - first we get no justice, then we pay for getting no justice.
Meanwhile in the US, a scientist's suicide is met with an almost audible sigh of relief by the authorities. Killed self - must be guilty - file closed. OK, the first one they tried to pin it on fought back a little too hard but it worked the second time - they found someone weaker who'd crack.
Compensation was paid to the tougher party, who had brought a lawsuit. The US citizenry were duly cheated. First they got no justice, then they paid for getting no justice.

- Wish I got to the theatre more often. Tends to be about once a decade. Also reading, who has time these days? I continue to believe that there are too many sheep among all classes of people, including the cleverer more educated ones. When will people learn not to pass on fake news stories?
