General Discussion / Re: Criminals who refuse to at...

I couldn't believe this either.  It seems that if you have committed a criminal offence, you can refuse to attend a court hearing.  Has this criminal not been arrested by the police?  Has he been arrested and simply let go free?

The more things I have heard over the past few years suggest that this country is simply falling apart.  Do we still have laws?  Can you still be taken to court for trial if you commit crimes?  Quite apart from anything else, the country is heading steadily toward becoming a third-world nation.  I'm just glad that I am 74 and have no children, because if things continue in this direction it will not be long before the UK becomes the first third-world country in Europe.

General Discussion / Criminals who refuse to attend...
Last post by Mups - Today at 10:00:31 AM
The Mother of this poor boy who was killed by a man doing 70 mph in a  30 mph limit,  is hoping the driver will come to court and face her.    She doesn't want him to refuse to attend.

I shall never understand why criminals are even allowed to refuse going to court?? 
Surely he gave up any 'rights'  when he killed that young lad.

You hear this over and over again,  where the criminal won't attend court  but it so very wrong to my mind.
They should be dragged there if necessary,  and never be allowed to skulk in custody somewhere.

I can't even remember when I last saw comedy on TV.   
It's all murders and gore nowadays.
