wtf ever happen to the thomas partey's case? like it has been a year plus and the investigation is still on going ? what the fuck are they doing? at least give us an update
Updating the public is irrelevant. The accused, the victim and just judicial system don’t care if the general public feel uninformed on progress and nor should they
This is incorrect. One of the most quoted phrases in case law goes something like "Justice must not only be done, but must also be seen to be done." (Rex v Sussex Justices)
The judicial system has a duty not only to be just, but also to demonstrate to the public at large that it is being just. That's why even if no wrongdoing has occurred, if there's a way people might think it has occurred, the justice system has failed.
Interesting quote didn’t know that, thanks.
I think it overestimates the powers of the justice system. You can’t prevent someone posting something online and it going viral, surely?
How would it stop people thinking something?
