pompous git - like it - that's exactly what he is!!

I think he is an arrogant wotsit and is universally loathed by my family (and a number of friends on FB).

Regardless of this possible manslaughter charge he should certainly be held to account for being a pompous git!

Oh those comments were aimed at CJ

;-)

Ooh, Rollo.

You know what's coming next, don't you ..... from your fans, I mean. ;-)

De Mooi claims it was self defense after he was attacked.
Under Netherlands and UK law it is not possible to obtain a conviction following an indictment solely on the evidence of the accused including confessions.
The paltry evidence so far revealed by the press is insufficient for ongoing detention let alone a EAW.

The matter is I think quite well filed under "boring" unless you wish ill on celebrities, politicians and the rich or the "arrogant, smug, irritating" as a general principle. For those so inclined they can get a weekly fix with a sub.. to Hello magazine or join Momentum.

fwiw I was myself tried for manslaughter back in the 80s but was found not guilty. Not an experience I would recommend though.

he is an arrogant, smug, irritating person

hmm - only me who finds this interesting then?

Former panellist on TV quiz show Eggheads, CJ de Mooi, has been arrested in connection with an alleged killing over 20 years ago.

He was detained under a European arrest warrant at Heathrow Airport on Wednesday.

De Mooi, who lives in Monmouthshire, is wanted over an alleged killing in the Netherlands.

The suspect, 46, was held under his real name Joseph Connagh and will appear at London's Westminster Magistrates' Court later.

De Mooi revealed in his autobiography he punched a man who approached him with a knife and threw him into a canal in Amsterdam in 1988.

In the book, he wrote: "He caught me on the wrong day and I just snapped. I've no idea what happened to him."

De Mooi became a panellist on Eggheads in 2003 after winning a series of game shows.
