Comments on: Labour-appointed Police Board recommends disciplinary action against police officer who prosecuted the culprit. No disciplinary action against those who prosecuted the wrong man.

In reply to AE. Exactly my thoughts as well. But in my creed - wine can turn to vinegar but vinegar can never turn to wine. That is why I never ever believe or trust the PL.

In reply to plebeian. How exactly are the PN governments to blame? I do not get it.

In reply to Victor.

You’re right.

I was only hoping to retain some faith in the integrity of certain human beings, who should know better and who have the responsibility of setting a good example.

But alas, I must have been dreaming.

In reply to SM.

Do not blame the ordinary man-in-the street for missing the point you make. Even a board headed by a judge missed it.

Arresting a man on the flimsiest of evidence (and I am being too generous) and denying him bail, was not considered important enough to deserve severe censure.

Uncovering this, however, was much, much more serious.

In reply to Vera. Who needs "material evidence" when the CID adds a feather to its cap by its sheer incompetence in "solving" a crime by arresting the wrong person?.

On page 4 of the Police Board report, on the third or fourth line, it is stated that Insp. Mercieca ALSO found it to be normal procedure to ask the duty magistrate to give a warrant for the arrest of Daryl Borg, when he thought he found the culprit.

So then, why was Insp. Taliana said to be in the wrong. He did the same thing with the exception that he actually had the REAL culprit.

In reply to Evarist Saliba. In that celebrated cartoon Low depicted the lady representing truth being held upside down from its feet by Goebbels.
