Okay, I've been to the WM3 link and although it's obviously a partisan website it is an interesting case. There's a lot to absorb, so I'll read it over the next few days. I have to say O really dislike the numbering of defendants in that way though. Reminds me too much of the IRA. Still, it's not their fault.

Jenn, there isn't much I can tell you about the abuse on Jersey that you can't find by Googling. Here's a precis from The Guardian. It's very much in the news over here because of course it's shocking. But the abuse happened 20+ years ago (some of it apparently dating back to the 50s) so I'm not sure if everyone involved will ever be brought to justice, so it's a very different kettle of fish.

Are you connected with the defendants in any way or is it just something you have become interested in? I went to see the play The Exonerated a while back it it really moved me. I forget that just because I don't know anyone who has been convicted, it doesn't mean it doesn't happen to innocent people. It's not them and us.
