Courts and the semis

It seems to be all about the Courts at the moment, with several cases all coming to a head at once, along with the Budget.

The Kahui case - almost an OJ Simpson with the Jury only being out for 10 minutes. That is impossible, except they had gone to lunch first (for it seems about an hour) so I suppose most of the talking would have been done then plus they would have been dicussing it in the days leading up to the final day. My view - probably both should have been charged. Now it seems nobody will be charged with anything. How is it that they haven't been charged with dereliction of duty towards the children. On the way to the hospital with the twins they stopped at McDonalds!! No reporter ever asks the Police why they aren't charged. What is going on?
As for King and Kahui - what a pair - they deserve each other.

Christchurch - two cases, one still to be resolved (charged with murder using a car) and the other the Zimbabwean found not guilty. Did the Police get it wrong - the Jury thought so.

Muliaga - the Coroner is now investigating her death from the power being cut off. It has been reported that they had gone into arrears 50 (fifty !!) times before. Also they had a string of debts.

Wellington - Two boy racers kill a person while racing and each loses his licence for 4 years. They appeal and get it cut to 3 years. My judgement would have been they lose them for 20 years!!

The Super 14 semis were finally found and I still can't overlook the Crusaders to beat the Hurricanes and the Waratahs to defeat the Sharks. The final of course to be the Crusaders.

Budget day - used to be a big deal and always at night - I will think about for the next Blog.
