61. If you carefully read my post you will find that we agree on this point...

He has been arrested and will face proceedings. Admittedly this is the result of the media attention. In this case the media did a valuable service. While I maybe somewhat critical of the media's attempt to play both judge and jury in this case, their efforts might result in true justice.

I find it a shame that you no longer will reply to my posts on this subject. You did make some fair points and I enjoyed the back and forth. In many areas we agree. For example, I believe that the law should be reviewed and reworded. In other posts on this subject I have expressed my view that in any questionable case of self defense, a higher review than the local authorities should be required. However, I see legitimate value in eliminating the requirement for a person to retreat when he is attacked in a manner that a reasonable person standing in his shoes would interpret as having a realistic potential of causing serious injury or death. Therefore I do not believe as you do that the law should be repealed.

One of the major problems in any legal system is the fact that bias and racism can tip the scales of justice. While Lady Justice wears a blindfold the unfortunate reality is that she is not always fair.
