Is anyone doubting she was involved in starting the fire?
This should be in the bear pit - this sort of thread never ends well in G&D.Quote:

Therefore I give the justice system the benefit of the doubt on this one.
Dont need to have legal qualifications to know its terrible though.Quote:

People go on about all these stabbings and im not in the slightest shocked because the people doing it know even if caught they will get a few short years in a soft jail and then they will be straight onto benefits.
Good point, should have made it more clear.Quote:

Then ask yourself why it’s complex for them, with their training and with all the facts, and why it’s simple to you, with only a DM report.
