I think all I said was that in my opinion you were out of order. I must admit that I have no idea why you should ask people to give opinions on the legal process, when probably only flying lawyer has all the facts at his disposal or the necessary knowledge of the UK legal process. Inviting ill informed comment of this type has little value.

My thoughts rest with the ex BA captain who commited suicide not so long ago. The legal process is a very blunt instrument and the end results are often unforeseen. In this case inviting people to second guess the decision of a judge who has listened to the whole case seems rather odd.

To turn this tragedy into a quiz question seems to me to be inapropriate.
