Good on you for starting this, Mr Burns.
Do we need more CCTV -- I say Yes.

I think this case has consumed Melbournians for a week. Yes it is tragic, had they not had that CCTV, this case would not be solved.
As said, excellent job by the police, public and CCTV.
 

That was a private CCTV too , they had other footage but that was the main one that did the job, I'd like to see them everywhere, Govt owned to make sure we're well covered.
 
The death penalty should be brought back for cases like this.

We put dogs and cats to sleep. Save the dog, kill the human. At least the dog has a chance to bring joy to someone's life in the future.

I am sick of females in our society being abused, assaulted, raped and murdered and the perpetrator never being held to account properly.

Bleeding heart society, please line up to the left and take a number.

Just tragic and shocking and a grim reminder that you aren't safe on the streets.......ever.

They should have CCTV cameras everywhere, that's the only reason this case was solved so quickly.

This is indeed a tragic and shocking case and my heart goes out to Jills family and friends.

However i couldn't disagree more with your statement about CCTV. It's a topic for another thread however
 
Well start a new thread then Prawn, as I think its important.

CCTV is the reason this case has been solved and that guy has admitted to what he did, though I feel there is more to the story as in the other CCTV supposedly, the guy comes running towards her and a car does a U-turn -- things we would not know without CCTV.
 
Very sad to hear what happened to Jill Meagher but I'm very glad they have arrested her killer.


I'm not sure you can say it would not have been solved without CCTV. It may be that it has been solved a bit quicker but it's still quite possible that it would have been solved without the CCTV. Sadly the CCTV didn't prevent the crime from happening, which is what we need to focus on more IMO.
 

This isn't the time for nit picking CCTV was responsible for this bastard being in custody now, no if's or but's or maybe's . Bring it on I say.

CCTV wil prevent some of the crimes, when people see how it works they will be less inclined to act.
 
Sounds morbid, but he had less time to dispose of the body because they found him.
I am sure he would have been shocked when he saw his photo in the paper the next day.

He'll get a hard time in jail, the rest of his life will be hell.

It doesn't bring Jill Meagher back though........

R.I.P. Jill

I agree 100% with your post springhill. The person who committed this barbaric act is a sorry excuse for a human being.

You are responsible for your actions, end of story. No excuses.

In a case like this, where there is CCTV footage, witnesses, plus, maybe, an admission to this crime - why waste tax payers money locking this slim-bag up for the next ~20 years.....
 
The media have full frontal pictures of this bloke to use after his trial.

They can't use them now as identity is an integral part of the whole process and photos identifying him would be seen as a contempt of court.

(in case you ever wondered why faces aren't shown)
 
Don't know if this is allowed (will l get a warning for this??), but details of the killer are already out on the net.

This will jeapodise the case somewhat, it cant be helped though it's already out there, geez he looks just like a normal bloke, I was exoecting a wierdo of some kind.
Up to Joe to decide the legalities but I would take it down.
 
Oh he does have form ....assualt and sex crimes.
He has to kill somene before the law can take him off the streets.........it's wrong.
 
The only thing we didnt know was his history -- videos dont lie, we already knew what he looked like, thanks to CCTV.
 
Jill Meagher case: Bolt, Twitter users warned on comment


http://www.crikey.com.au/2012/09/28/jill-meagher-case-bolt-twitter-users-warned-on-comment/


Here is that post that has been circulating.

 
Best thing anyone can do is not comment on the culpability of the alleged killer in this thread or anywhere else.

We need an impartial jury to decide the matter.

Similar to the argument run in the Tony Mockbel case, if the presumption of innocence is gone in the wider public then he can't be tried.
