Of course it's tragic, of course the poor girl's parents and partner are in agony, of course the majority of the population is interested and sympathetic, and of course there is a lot of coverage on TV and in the papers.
BUT there is something wrong somewhere. The coverage on TV and in the papers is giving a clear impression. Walking the dog today I was chatting to someone and mentioned my concern. To which he replied "So what? The fucking pervert should swing". My point exactly. For Jo Yeates to get justice a proper trial has to be held in which the accused person is presumed innocent and the prosecution have to prove their case. Otherwise there is no justice. And the media is creating a climate in which everyone is sure that her landlord did it, so what chance is there of an unbiased jury?
