The Media & 'innocent until proven guilty'-not

[Fluoro]

Everyone has probably heard about the nurse in Manchester getting arrested in relation 2 the tragic deaths of the patients in the hospital she worked in.

Now I'm not the biggest fan of the police, but understand they are needed for things like this. Now I assume they must have some evidence 2 get her remanded, but I think it unfair that the girls name & pictures of her have been shown by the media even before she was charged.

Juries read the papers & watch the news, just like the rest of us & I think there is no way she can get a fair trial (even if the trial is moved outside Manchester). If we supposedly have a legal system that treats people innocent until proven guilty, then the accused (in all cases) should remain anonymous until they either plead guilty or are found guilty. On the day of her arrest, her employer applied 2 the Nursing & Midwifery council 2 get her suspended from the register which I think was unfair before the girl was even charged.

Also a Facebook set up by her supporters has been removed, but a page on the same site entitle 'Rebecca Leighton-please don't kill anymore patients' is still up & running.

Don't get me wrong, if she is guilty, then she's a sick & twisted person who should never see the light of day again. But I just think the media, police & CPS
Should allow people 2 remain anonymous initially.

I could go on all day about this "innocent until proven guilty" load of tosh.All i have to say about this women is she maybe innocent of not touching or putting anything in the saline drips ,but she has still to be interviewed about allegations of stealing drugs so she isnt quite out the woods yet.All the best Froude

That's a good point that Froude. She has admitted & was found with 18 Tramadol in her flat.

Although I stand by my original post, I do think she's probably guilty of the murders, but the plod yet again have probably got their evidence illegally & the CPS have had no choice but 2 release her. All this "I want 2 return 2 work asap" is a load of bollocks. If u want 2 return 2 work in her situation, u go 2 an employment tribunal-not go & hire Max Cliffford. She's loving the attention.
