The official Cork court report thread.

[fed up]

Ol FedY got himself excused from jury duty.

A sigh of relief reverberated throughout the city as both the criminal and legal establishments realised that they had escaped his scrutiny.

The court heard that the parents of the child even moved house so they would not be near the defendant.

Fucking Hell.

Then of course, these fucking scumbags;

"We sat as parents in front of a play therapist who told us she couldn't see (daughter’s name) as a child's notes could be available to her abuser's legal counsel and in her words could be 'used against her'.

A 4 year old child, legal business as usual showing its deplorable depths

Then in the Judgement by " The Judge ";

The age and ill health of the man were taken into consideration when the sentence was being calculated.

Well none of those things mattered when the animal raped his own grandchild.

So that above says a lot about the legal business and how it conducts and what a fucked up institution it is.

Then we have the likes of Paul Byrne constantly reporting on overcrowding at Cork Prison.

People seriously need to wake the fuck up.

How did you get out of it?

"We sat as parents in front of a play therapist who told us she couldn't see (daughter’s name) as a child's notes could be available to her abuser's legal counsel and in her words could be 'used against her'.

There is a concerted campaign to change the law so that counselling notes can't be used in Court. That is something that the government has to changed. Lawyers can't do so.

Given your outrage at it, have you actually done anything to back the campaign? Signed a petition? Sent an email to a TD?

Or have you just stuck with your tried and tested route of bitching about lawyers in relation to something they have no control over...

All the term "Take into consideration" means is that the Judge has noted his age and health. It doesn't mean that the sentence was reduced as a result. The Judge has to state that they have taken it into account as if they don't it would give the defendant a grounds for appeal.

I am over 30 years dealing with children's mental health and trauma.

Regardless of any thoughts on faults of professions, systems, etc, we as a people do not protect the welfare of children with enough strength and gusto.

They are the most vulnerable group in terms of how their future is shaped.

The overcrowding in prisons is by a large degree down to adults who suffered childhood trauma. Not an excuse for their offending, but a factor.

Every move in any case or investigation involving a child should be determined by how it will affect the child, both now and in the future. Everyone involved should keep that front and centre.

It's not the monsters on the street that damage children, it's mostly those that are supposed to be their protectors.

Who is it that uses those counselling notes?

Your shower.

Sweet suffering Christ Mattie, can you not see any issues with your own crowd and how ye are well able to go down and dirty, sometimes worse than the scum your lot defend

What about the people who suffered childhood trauma and did not break the law?
I have no sympathy whatsoever for anyone in prison, it is hard enough to be sentenced by a court to get into one so it takes a lot of offending.
There are victims of course, let's not forget about them, the people who did no wrong and expect the law, the court system to have their corner, which in many cases are badly left down.
