Re: April Jones (Missing Girl)
What I want to know is what they have on this guy, why they released his photograph and details when they did and more to the point, what will they do IF he is found to be innocent?

Re: April Jones (Missing Girl)
If you start to allow the torture of suspects in extreme cases, how long before someone tries to justify it in a slightly less extreme case (whether sanctioned prior to the event oe having been found out after torturing someone innocent.
People being tortured will agree to anything to stop their suffering, so I believe that torture would be counter-productive (espescially if an innocent person was tortured to obtain evidence).

The evidence will come out at the trial. I hope the police didn't make a premature arrest because of public pressure.

If it were my child I would want everything done to get the information out of him, however, I wouldn't be very rational if my child had gone missing.
I don't agree with torture, same as the death penalty, mistakes can be made, and torturing an innocent person is totally unacceptable.
He hasn't been found guilty yet.

As the man arrested had kids in the same school, and the police saying when they had arrested him "they knew who they were looking for," this is what I had assumed happened.
That poor family, the not knowing must be horrendous. I don't agree with torturing him, but they should shut him in a room with her parents for 10 minutes.

Re: April Jones (Missing Girl)
Torture is never the answer.Gathering available evidence is.
The Crown Prosecuting Service must be satified that there is currently sufficent evidence linking the alleged offender to the crime that is being investigated.The Police's role on that decision has been taken way from them and can only charge someone on the CPS 's direction and authority.
It would prejudice the case if all the circumstances were to be aired in public at this time but appeals by the Police are routine to obtain further evidence to prove or disprove information maybe given by the alleged offender on being questioned. Circumstatial evidence may need other evidence to corroborate it and therefore make it conclusive.
