Went to public viewing gallery at Leeds Crown Court yesterday
Never heard such filth in my life!
I went with school, and about 15 other people and so we split into groups as there was a fair few of us and our teacher wanted us to see different ones... 6 of us went into one, and then the other 10 went into other court rooms, and well theres lasted about 10 minutes and they went into two or three court rooms and made the bus at Noon to go home, wheras my group went into a court room at half past 10 and didn't come out until 1pm. :l (We werent allowed to leave apprantly, although I knew we were technically allowed but I felt rude). Anyway, I wrote this thread to tell you what we got..
A rape case. Not just any rape case, a famil rape case. Yes. (Do not read on if you are senstive to this subject)
Dirty old man raped his daughter, his sister, and his neice. I was absolutely gobsmacked that we got this case. The judge had to go into every single little detail of what the man did and how he did it when he was talking to the jury and it was absolutely vile. The dirty old man was sat in his little glass box with absolutely no facial expression listening to the whole thing go on (this was the second part of the hearing). Anyway, it was a lenghty court thing, and unfortunately we did have to go when they broke for lunch so never got to hear the verdict, but he was definately guilty (and pleaded guilty in the first court thing) and was going down for the rest of his life. The scarier part was, he was ALLOWED TO WALK AROUND THE MAIN PART OF THE COURT WHERE WE WERE FREELY! *Innocent until proven guilty* as they say. So he was free to move about, he looked like scum and is scum! Couldn't believe it when we got that! :(
How long do you think he should get? Rest of his life?

I've always wanted to visit and observe a court in progress, and it sounds like a very complex and astonishing case to be watching.
This man sounds like a total **** and deserves to be put away for the rest of his life. If he finds it necessary to rape that many family members, he must be a total scumbag.
Its disgusting and gives me the shivers just thinking about it. He shouldn't be allowed near anyone for years if not life, and quite frankly I'm surprised he managed to rape that many relatives before he was caught, arrested and charged.

3 life sentences at the very least, if not further sentencing for other details. I did work experience at my local law courts and all I got to see was a dispute about curtains

It happened the first time 30 years and and then again 3 years ago (not sure about the other one) and those 2 were too scared to tell anyone but one girl came out and the other backed her up. its disgusting to be honest. he said "dont tell anyone and ill get you a horse" cos he knew she loved horses.

I was in the court room for about 4 hours thankfully I never got picked, It was a case the same as yours but 2 guys and it was with about 5 underage kids.
