I followed the transcripts of Diana's inquest daily at the time, (as I've mentioned before.) What struck me most was the presses attempt to smear/ vilify certain witnesses. The images the press tried to convey to the general public bore no resemblance to the people appearing in court to give evidence, nor what was said. The missreporting was scandalous.

You weren't there in court. How things appear in a plain transcript doesn't give a clue to the emphasis the witness may have given to certain words - whether they sounded sincere, shifty, condescending etc. You can't tell if they were making eye contact with other people or staring at the ground or into space. You can't see their body language. Have you ever interviewed anyone for a job? It isn't just what is said, it's the way that it's said - and the non-verbal clues that are equally as important if not more so. And yes, numerous times you've said you read inquests - but you've never linked to one and say a press report to show how they contradicted each other. You have gone along with some of the more fanciful "conspiracy theories" based on next to nothing - if I recall you thought Mohammed Al-Fayed a credible witness even though his QC admitted that they hadn't a shred of evidence to back up his allegations.

I'd really like to hear what he has to say. I would put money on the fact it will never happen, because their main aim is to keep the victims, especially 'Nick,' out of court at all costs in case they blow the enquiry wide open. Turns out it was a complete fantasy made up by a convicted paedophile which cost the tax payer millions. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-49074879 How sure are you now of your previous claims?

What does it matter? We live in an age where people simply 'believing' something to be true, makes it true. Anna B, who seems to have a bit of a bent for these nonsense conspiracies, will dismiss today's conviction as some kind of coverup, which, bizarrely, will convince here even more that there is some kind of high profile pedo ring operating. It's today's mindset. Proof no longer matters. People think simply having their stupid ideas makes them necessarily true. Side-note: I posted yesterday about how it is always right wing nutjobs who believe these kind of conspiracy theories. Add this story to the list. I don't know why the far right are so obsessed with pedos and suspected pedos. It's all a bit weird. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

hobinfoot 25 #598 Posted July 26, 2019 Beech was sentenced to 18 years today. He was found guilty on several charges including downloading child pornography. He is a lying fantasist who tried to cover his own crimes by accusing others. People like him do untold damage to real victims who will now wonder if it’s worth reporting crimes carried out against them.
