The problem was that he didn't testify. He was a fool not to enter the witness box. His silence in court was interpreted as an admission of guilt.Mike Hoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09079744279692869325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8456620400015224634.post-85157356789016524932013-12-14T17:29:35.643+01:002013-12-14T17:29:35.643+01:00Very interesting, given your blogs I don't und...Very interesting, given your blogs I don't understand why pk did not take the witness stand? I think the fact lisa and jason showned little reaction was that they must have expected what was coming, maybe vaughan due to his age was hoping that he wud get a lighter sentence!

I suspect something happened with Jason Andrews between the guilty verdict and the sentence. Instead of the usual one-guard-per-person, he was surrounded by three security guards for the sentencing. He had the appearance of being heavily drugged, so he "wasn't all there" and didn't show much of a reaction.<br /><br />Lisa Clarke remained very cold and defiant. It was as if she wanted to let everyone know she didn't care.<br /><br />Vaughan Davies broke down and cried when the sentence was pronounced. I'm sure his lawyer had promised him that as a child (17) he would receive a lighter sentence, but it wasn't as light as he expected.<br /><br />Peter Knowles was obviously hit hard by the sentence. His face was quivering, but he tried not to show it.Mike Hoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09079744279692869325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8456620400015224634.post-81139080941071274862013-12-14T11:16:33.411+01:002013-12-14T11:16:33.411+01:00What was the reaction from the accused, given they...What was the reaction from the accused, given they all pleaded not guilty?
