I have no view of Dave Lee Travis at all but overall I am pleased that the taxpayer in this instance is not having to pay loads of money to keep him in prison.
Taking into account all the many charges he was been acquitted on and also the fact that even this verdict was not a unanimous one,being a 10-2 guilty verdict. For what is was described to be, I saw little reason for a custodial sentence. As LeatherTrumpet pointed out, with hidnsight,overall this case has been a waste of time,money and police resources,really a caution caould have been the order of the day as to this rather than a trial and then a re-trail with a new charge added too. This is for me what needs changing in law,there is too much court time taken up with cases where a quicker and lees formal proceedings could take place. Savinf lots of court time and money too leaving the courts fee to deal with the really more serious crimes,particularly violent and murder cases. |

I actually don't agree with it going to appeal, however let's see where it goes now, maybe the taxpayer will have to pay to keep him in prison after all for a time with all the expense that involves.

I don't see this as "justice". I see it as an example of the old adage if you throw enough sh1t at the wall, some of it's going to stick.
