We all expect fair play but not everyone agrees what fair play is.

Seriously, the prosecutors are going to appeal?

haven't they been paid enough over this last couple of years?

if they couldn't do their job more efficiently

then they should step down........

So, a male footballer can rape, get a few month's in prison and resume their grossly overpaid job.
An athlete can kill and get a few months in prison (I loved the comment ' Prison will kill him' - needing a pee killed Reeva).

Okay he can no longer run, but neither can Reeva,

So much for women in the Western world being equal.

Imagine if the tables had been turned.........

It has just been announced that the prosecution is to lodge an appeal against what they consider - to be the lenient sentence handed down to Oscar Pistorius.

I am researching the Wotherspoon family from the Old/New Monkland areas of Scotland, some moved to the Leslie and Kelty areas of Fife and I'm having problems linking the Wotherspoon's from Leslie and the Wotherspoon's from Kelty. I am also researching the Clusker family from Co. Meath in Ireland who moved to West Lothian and from there to Fife............"Vita non est vivere sed valere vita est"

It is vital that justice is administered in some form, evenly & fairly for all.
