High profile crimes

chuk_77 — Tue, 27 May 2014 09:41:46 GMT

This is not a discussion of the locked thread as much as what makes one case a higer profile than another.

The Jill Meagher case was talked about here

So was Keishas murder even before it became a murder

And there have been more, so I do wonder why the other mention no names one was locked?

Anyone able to shed light on it without discussing a locked thread?

The previous ones were discussed before Lithium started moderating this board (July 2013?)

Another high profile case discussed here (Apr 2012) was Gerard Baden-Clay whose trial starts next month - June 9, 2014

maybe because they now have suspects in custody that will require a trial.

When we were yapping about the other cases the bad guy hadn't been caught.

just a theory.

I think too, the thread may be unlocked after the mods run it by the higher powers, if they say its ok

I see no reason that anything on MSM should not be discussed. I find that peculiar

thanks, am and kelso. that makes sense. My imagination took over a bit with just who was really reading the boards 😮

But then my imagination also took over hearing about a guy that was buried at the beach waist deep and needed rescuing. The real reason was nothing like the mob hit that was going through me head 😄

they started locking such threads when a poster kicked up a huge stink over a case not yet before the courts being discussed - intimating that it was illegal as it could jeopardise the outcome of the trial.

if i recall corectly a thread by azurline was the one it all hit the fan on.

az... that one was just after Lithium started - Aug 2013 and was the first thread of that type to be locked.

Baden-Clay discussion started after Allison went missing, before any arrest.

I'd hazard and guess that someone is trying to shut someone else up. :D:D:D

Retribution! the new, old TV show.

This could be true. How do you know whether or not you are discussing the case

with a potential juror? And maybe prejudice a potential juror's outlook

it's a current news story broadcast on radio, tv, online and in print. It's a story in the public domain and there is no legal reason why a person who is not directly connected to the case (eg a member of the jury) cannot publicly discuss it.

you are aware that potential jurors are asked questions regarding their knowledge and opinions on the case yeah?

Re: High profile crimes

lalau74 — Tue, 27 May 2014 14:17:39 GMT

Sorry, it was gibberish. my mistake.

Any person who is not directly connected to the case may make public comment.

No one directly connected to the case, eg a memebr of the jury can make such comment.

So far, no one has been selected as either judge or jury in this case.

imastawka — Tue, 27 May 2014 14:19:09 GMT

I am aware. I am also aware of human nature.

When asked that question, some would be prepared to lie

Re: High profile crimes

*pepe — Tue, 27 May 2014 14:20:45 GMT

so what you are saying here is that no crime should be discussd in case a liar should be selected for jury duty then.

imastawka — Tue, 27 May 2014 14:21:58 GMT

I don't think I want to continue the discussion right now.

It may be glitches, But there was a lot more to my previous post.

And it doesn't say it was edited
