The man previousley found guilty of murdering Jane Longhurst in Brighton after watching extreme porn has today had his conviction quashed by the appeal court, so now where does this leave the goverments new law that they are proposing to bring in about watching extreme porn as it rested entirely on this case after a campaign by the girls mother.

Actually this is a misconception populated by the media, if you read the court transcripts this was never the case.
Where does this leave the Dangerous Pictures Act?
Same as before, we are afterall in 'Blairs Democracy', but people like me are trying to do our bit to stop it. My MP and the Home Office must be fed up with me and I know Ofcon have me listed as a 'vexious complaimer', I don't think many UK Producers have got off their arses yet and actually realised what this means to them, and certainly most of the forumites don't realise either.
But another issued totally overlooked is what chance has he now of a fair and unbiased trial?

And whilst we are at it
With a Government department that acts like this, you think the Dangerous Pictures Act will go away?

Yes he will have to face a retrial and we debated this issue a few months ago on this forum, and that by citing this case as a reason to bring in this new law the goverment have acted in jepordy, i suspect at the retrial after some plea bargaining he will finish up being found guilty of manslaughter and walk free after the time he has allready served, i have noticed its all gone very quiet on this piece of legislation i expect the goverment have realised they have jumped the gun on this one and are now awaiting the outcome of the retrial before they make their next move.
