Lord Janner

Disambiguation · Aug 14, 2015

Lord Janner admitted to sex abuse of a child but was not brought to trial because he claimed to be too ill with dementia. The prosecutor agreed. After that he visited the House of Lords a few times and transacted business. Charges have been brought against him now. At last.

Lord Janner faces 22 charges spanning the 1960s to the 1980s and was told his case would be sent to crown court.
His attendance comes after the judge warned he faced arrest if he did not appear following repeated efforts by his lawyers to avoid him turning up.
The appearance, during which Lord Janner confirmed his name, was brief, with the charges read out after he left and the full hearing taking less than 12 minutes.
He is accused of 15 counts of indecent assault and seven counts of a separate sexual offence, against a total of nine complainants.

We have reached that stage in which none of the alternatives are palatable. The sight of a confused old man apparently bewildered by proceedings will offend public sensibilities. There will be questions about the legitimacy of a full trial – if such a stage is reached – that may require an old man to recall events with clarity sufficient to allow for a coherent defence. And yet the die is cast.

This trial process commenced today and, messy as it is, might be the closest we can come to that. If it collapses because, ultimately – after submissions – Lord Janner is found unfit by a judge, so be it. Justice will be done, as far as is possible, but, now more than ever – and in this case more than most – justice must be seen to be done.

The erosion of public confidence in our institutions is regrettable and will yield all manner of unfortunate repercussions, but it is a fact of life, and it manifests itself in the way that this case has unfolded. The process will be grisly, but it is a process that must play out. It cannot be otherwise.

A further hearing in December is expected to consider whether the case should continue as a trial of the facts, where a jury would hear evidence from alleged victims and decide if Janner committed the physical acts of abuse. Because the defendant cannot put forward a defence, there can be no verdict of guilty and the court cannot pass sentence.

In a trial of facts, the jury is asked to decide – on the basis of evidence adduced by prosecution lawyers and by lawyers who put the case for the defence – whether or not the accused did the acts he or she was charged with.

All the court can do is to make a hospital order, a supervision order or an order for the defendant’s absolute discharge – where a finding of guilt is made but no conviction is registered and no order given.

"trial on facts" must be a Britfag law. Does it mean evidence but no testimony?

For you non Brit fags be aware with your twatter ops etc, in Britain there is such a thing as "Trial by Media".
This can result in some cases never reaching court due to the previous press coverage influence on the public at large.
Negative press or accusatory types of articles can often be the cause of cases being stopped in advance of court proceedings.
Twitter is now the new weapon in that particular arsenal.

Think again with your ops, spreading the word is good but mind out what you say.
Inflammatory remarks have a tendency to spiral when the less educated hit the keys and spout the hate.
And again. Watch out for your bandwagon jumpers who will use twitter as an excuse to derail a trial, it happens.
Friends of the accused?

Just saying.

While VIP-related allegations dominate the headlines, a significant shift in confidence and understanding of child sexual abuse has been taking place in our society. For too long victims remained quiet, fearful of the consequences of speaking up, lacking the belief that anything positive would come of it if they did. Now they can be a little more confident that not only will they be heard but that also no one is above the law.

The best thing that's come from the Saville/ Lord Janner Rich Upperclass Brits Assault Children is this.
