| 1427538 | 2016-10-15 19:32:00 | I look upon silly crimes where a youth or young man doing a silly crime for the first time as being a case where a little mercy is OK. That is where the sentence called "Diversion" is used with quite a good sucess rate I am told. However, in a case like this, one thinks of Dr Mengele applying for name suppression, as it might affect his future in medical research? Or am I being to harsh? Ken :confused: |

| 1427539 | 2016-10-15 21:28:00 | You nailed it kenj The millionaire has interim name suppression and will seek to keep his identity secret permanently at his sentencing hearing in December. This will be argued on the grounds of the damage to the business from any negative publicity Seems if someone does a crime if its going to have a negative effect they will get off. Lets see, a donation to charity, smack on the hand -- Sweep under the table. |

Did we not have name suppression for the rich an famous when we had the Labour government? Whining at National does nothing if the alternative is exactly the same in this regard. |

| 1427541 | 2016-10-16 00:07:00 | It has nothing to do with the government of the day. It is up to the judicial system as to how the laws are interpreted and applied in any particular case. If you can afford to employ the best lawyers you can exploit any gaps that exist. | CliveM (6007) | ||
