Reply #196 - Dec 28^th, 2015 at 11:48am Aussie I went off the comments the Judge made publicly following the trial. No I haven't read the decision. However the Judge's comments seemed to make it clear that he was satisfied Hughes had no grounds for a successful appeal.

Justice should be free for all.. not a free-for-all at the whim of those with the wherewithal.....

I'm just about ready to put my house on there being absolutely no way the Judge made public comments following the recent appeal decision which Hughes lost.

The only truth in Red Baron's statement is that Red Baron "went off".

Fortunately Red Baron lamely fizzles rather than explodes.

You said, you went off:

the comments the Judge made publicly following the trial.

Which anyone would know is an entirely different animal (the exact opposite) to saying you "went off media reports of the judge's comments made at the appeal hearing."

As I have posted many times, all I can do is read what people post, literally.

I hereby publicly apologise to the delicate genius in you, in that I meant to say 'the Judge's reported comments in the Courtroom".....Next case your Honour.

Anyone got the lowdown on this case?, seems like he is doing six years for walking around the house in the nuddy and going for a swim, did I miss something?

If he is doing time because the witness testimonies were really convincing then we are all in danger of getting put in jail.

Quite a lot IB.

Check out the transcript link...........it's a little way down if you wish to scroll past the parts that don't interest you.
