Further to the main story on child murder (The Argus, November 7), let us suppose a dozen people had been killed by sniper shooting in the UK and that two men had been arrested in their home.
Also suppose that each had denied responsibility but said the other had committed the crimes.
In the absence of other definite evidence, would our judges then free both men or does this apply only if a small child and its parents or guardians are involved?
