Ian Bailey ?

If your car was stolen and your next door neighbour was a convicted car thief you probably wouldn't consider it a flimsy reason for them to be a suspect though.

It's not enough to convict, it might not even be enough to arrest, but it's enough to raise a suspicion.
Matty is clinging on for dear life… ??
 
It’s mad that the TheEarlofPearl, a Glen man who was arguing with the same posters as TheOutdoorThreadmill, and uses similar language in his posts, has disappeared just as Threadmills ban was lifted. I smell a rat, a filthy Blackpool rat….
Sherlock Holmes will be quaking in his boots.
 
The judge can't and shouldn't sentence someone on the basis of what they might be capable of though. They can only sentence for the crime actually committed.

It's ludicrous to suggest that because the judge gave a suspended sentence that they did or didn't consider him capable of murder.
Who said that?
You said he could be considered a suspect because of it...

Oh Geez....the stolen car analogy is back.

Again no I get it's a reason to suspect he may have stolen the car but it's not reasonable to automatically suspect that he may have stolen a car in an other incident and then deliberately ran a woman over to kill her to boot.

It's obvious from the guards handling of Bailey and the whole case they had him pegged for the murder based on an previously unrelated incident. Which I might add Bailey never ever denied and always was forthcoming on his wrong doings.

The hounding of the guards to get a conviction on Bailey with very flimsy evidence was wrong, suspicion or not. They went out of their way to manifest evidence and get testimonies etc.

Surely they have some protocol regarding suspects. But that went out the window it seems. So yeah flimsy suspicions that led to this unresolved crime to date.

You did!

You said that the Judge disagreed with my assessment. They didn't, because they never gave an opinion on my assessment.

I did say he could be considered a suspect because of it, because he could and he was.

Car theft and murder are two entirely different offences so suspecting someone of murder on the basis of a car theft conviction would not be reasonable.

Beating a woman until she is injured to the extent that she is hospitalised and beating a woman until she is dead are not entirely different offences. Different severity, but same offence. So it was reasonable for the guards to suspect him.

The guards treatment of him was not reasonable, but no one has argued that it was.
