Child porn teacher freed
Latest article Aug 17 2008: If ever you were ever in doubt about how serious our Judiciary were when it came to child pornography, just take a look at the case of a former teacher named John Newton Hewitt that was heard in the county Court this week.

How remorseful is this idiot?
RECENT article Aug 10 2008: Michael Talkes would have to be one of the most stupid individuals to ever drive a car judging by his alleged involvement in a recent double fatality.

RECENT article July 27 2008:The most courageous thing a victim can do in a sexual abuse case such as rape is report it and have the offender held to account, or so you would think.
The only problem with that is our Courts seem hell-bent on finding excuses for the offenders when it comes to handing out a sentence. Read More
Appeals need to addressed
RECENT article July 27 2008: Many  times we have raised the issue of Appeals and how they are designed to give a guilty party every chance to get away with their crime not to mention prolonging the suffering of the victims and their families. What we have advocated for is a top up system of Justice on Appeals where the Defendant has the chance to continue with his appeal but should he/she lose they get an increase on the existing sentence.
