    Is this correct ? I haven't seen it mentioned anywhere that there was unknown dna on ana ?
    Are you suggesting a 3rd party was involvd?

    Did boys A parents try to get him out of the country??


    There was 'Touch DNA' on her top that did not match boy A but which was an insufficient sample to be evidence of positively identifying someone else.

    The DNA evidence you hear about in court cases and police investigations is mostly from blood and semen. Touch DNA is a more difficult and contentious source.

    You could interpret the above information that it was not just boy A present during the attack and killing. And not just him that ripped her clothes off. Boy B being potentially the other. The evidence was not enough to establish this as a fact.

    Of course it does but that’s not what’s happening here. People still seem to be intent on blaming everyone but A&B as if they are two innocent little boys who were let down by their families, the school and the state.

    Not on e post has said that .

    The reason people support mob justice is because of our soft touch justice system. How would you feel if this happened to your daughter only to see the perpetrators get a joke of a sentence and then set up with new identities and new lives. If our Justice system was strong and fair then maybe people would stop baying for blood.

    From what someone earlier in the thread said, it seems the unknown DNA didn't belong to Boy A, but it was also too small of a sample to test against others including Boy B. So it may be Boy B but couldn't be fully tested or used as evidence.

    Its possible that the sample was degraded or couidnt be fully tested. I do wonder did boy B somehow dodge ths bullet on this one

    Had a bad date with a vegan around then. Low sample size. I don't bore the rest of boards with it though.

    IF someone supports or engages in mob justice, it's very little to do with their thought out feelings of the Justice System and all to do with the fact they are a clinical moron.

    Children dont naturally have psychopathic tendencies, they develop them in certain ways, one of those being exposure to inappropriate content.

    Let me ask you, how do you think these boys turned into such twisted f**king monsters?

    Overexposure to Tom & Jerry with loving home and upbringing?

    I would hazard a guess, uncontrolled access to all manner of disturbing imagery, possibly f**ked up online video games and parents that didnt give two f**ks.

    Remove all of the above and what do you think could possibly have changed?


    Ah yes, of course, it must have been those video games. There was no murder before they were invented...
    From everything I've heard both sets of boys came from loving homes. They both have siblings who haven't murdered anyone yet. Maybe they weren't monitored enough, maybe something went on behind closed doors, but sometimes people are just sick in the head.

    No it's human nature to feel outraged and angry. Have you seen sentenecs handed out in this country? They would enrage the most level headed person!

    I have played video games since the days of the Atari 2600, the progression of them has gone completely the wrong way.

    Majorly violent and some x rated.

    You have a lot of maybes,

    Maybe what i am saying has some logic to it and would do no harm to implement it, and the outcomes Maybe better for everyone.

    He would definitely be charged with something. Obstruction at the least.


    Nope, it's called the right to remain silent. He dug the hole for himself and hopped into it.

    Big difference between feeling angry and engaging in mob justice.

    That mentality comes from the same sick well as Boy A dipped into.

    Correct


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,833 ✭✭✭joe40


    All the people supporting vigilante justice, or supporting a death penalty for the boys involved are not thinking about Ana or her family, it is just their own desire for revenge.

    Nothing can bring Ana back or ease the parents grief.

    I think the idea of vigilante mobs is just an affront to her memory.

    Agreed. Some people just have that combination of lack of empathy, violent desires and whatever other psychological tendencies which surpasses any kind of rationality or sense that would stop them from committing such acts. Maybe these things might be exacerbated by games or movies or poor family life, but there must be something psychologically wrong with them to begin with.

    Psychologist's testimony for Boy B was excluded. That'll form the basis of an appeal. Doctor had stated that he had PTSD as a result of witnessing the attack and was trying to cover himself with lies. Had he known she was about to be killed then why collect her from the house then walk through a park with lots of CCTV. He didn't represent himself well but he may have been a stupid kid manipulated by a more evil one. We may never know. But I think he'll be freed on appeal.

    There was extra proof that he was lying for the 9th interview in a row if that evidence got included.

    "Calling him as a witness carried a risk, however. During Boy B’s sessions with the doctor he had given him information about what he saw in the abandoned house that day, information he had failed to give the Garda.

    The boy told the doctor he saw Boy A standing over Ana with his trousers open during the attack. And that he saw Ana gasping before going silent.

    If Humphries gave defence evidence he would likely be open to cross-examination on these matters, reinforcing the notion that Boy B continued to lie to gardaí up to his final interview."

    That's exactly what I was thinking and after the excellent job the Garda did on this case I think it's an insult to start claiming they were negligent at this stage.

    The phone in the Dunleer murder case (which we can’t discuss as it’s still a live investigation) never showed up either. The Garda can do a lot of things with phones but they can’t find something that’s smashed and buried/burner or whatever. That’s another very disturbing case that has yet to come to court involving young people.

    What annoys me still is the parents of Boy A. The thought process goes to show the lengths some will go to protect their own, regardless of the reality presented to them.

    Your son comes home, bloodstained..you would immediately ask what happened and check for the cuts/wounds/source of the bleeding. No signs of bleeding....you hear he's attacked by 2 adult men with "inner city accents". Somehow your 13 year old son managed to overpower them both and kick one in the head standing up. A kick so hard the man bled enough to stain BOTH boots. You decide to clean his clothes and wash them overnight?!

    Instead of initially ringing the Gardai, you go back down to the park to check about with your son. And at some stage bump into Gardai and tell them to check somewhere else?! Not tell them there and then your son was attacked?!

    If I had a friend who thought like this I would struggle to stay friends with them as I would believe they have no empathy for victims. We clearly have an issue with our justice system been too lenient. Mob justice is terrible but its better than letting criminals walk free

    Before video games and porn, it was Marilyn Manson and other devils music, before that it was rock and roll, before that it as scurrilous novels etc.

    My daughter is 10 and already as tall as her mother. She is noticeably taller than all the other kids in her class. I got bullied myself in school and by fcuk I'll raise hell if I find out other kids are bullying her. I would do likewise if I found out she was bullying other children too.

    Fair play to Mr Kriegel for keeping his composure and dignity. I'm not sure if I could have.
    I was bullied as well, and one thing i'll never forget was how in my very first year of school, 13 years of age, boys being very sexually agressive. This was the 90s, long before wide use of internet, and they would comw out with filthy things and try to grope you. Traumatic. Not to mention some girls being absolute bitches. Something happens (some, not all, thankfully) young people once they start transitioning from childhood to adulthood, it turns them into monsters

    Someone noticed something about this earlier. Wasn’t Boy A wearing tracksuit bottoms? If so, would his trouser be “down” rather than “open”?

    Methinks Boy B May have been telling porkies to the professional psychologist too if Boy As attire was tracksuit bottoms.

    Example: go back about 15 years, PS2 game called 'Manhunt', read down through the page, murder in england was at the beginning linked with an obsession of this game, later not, but that could have been simply because it was to difficult to prove and could end in litigation from the makers.

    The game gave you higher scores for the more gruesome the death or lethal the weapon used.

    Now that was 15 years ago, there was a sequel to the game, i imagine there are similar or worse games out there today, and possibly in VR environment.

    Our brains process and store these images into memory, you may not recall it to the forefront of your mind every day, but everything we experience and consume mentally shapes who we are, and how we interpret the world.

    So you think someone who doesn't encourage or engage in mob justice has no empathy with victims of crime?

    No it isn't. That's just moronic nonsense.

    I knew of a bullying case in a small school in the country.
    11 girls in 5th class. One girl being victimized and bullied by the other ten.
    One of the girls has a birthday party, all invited except the bullied girl.
    During the party each girl in turn phones the bullied girl to gloat and tell her how much fun they’re all having. 10 phone calls to this poor girl who has to go and sit in that classroom with these bullies on the following Monday.
    School did fcuk all about it either.

    Youngsters can be very cruel. We should never forget it.
