The BBC (radio) were reporting that he has not been read his rights (Miranda)
because of some exemption 'because he is a threat to the public'.
surely this would apply to most people suspected of very serious crimes?
There are many in the PD, Feds etc who would have probably preferred that he
wasn't alive. Him being alive makes an awful lot more work for them all. The
question also remains, will he ever come to trial?

Ubuntu & 'apt-get' are not the answer to Life, The Universe & Everything which
is of course, "42" or is it 1.618?

The right to an attorney, the right to a fair trial, etc.
To do
otherwise means the US has crossed the line into becoming a police
state.
Note: I do not speak of releasing him on bail. Given the nature
of the situation bail may be highly inappropriate. But a fair bail hearing is
appropriate.

Is this even a question? Because the answer is blatently obvious: The same
rights as every other American that is suspected of committing a
crime.

Exactly the same rights as other suspects in other criminal cases.
There is a very good reason why suspects have rights - anyone who wants to can
read about the Salem Witchhunts any time they wish to.
"Rights" are a form of self-limitation on the part of the government.
Governments that tend not to limit themselves often implode disasterously after
a certain period of time. I mean, the Bourbons - the French Royal Family -
filled Paris and other cities with secret police and tried suspects of all kinds
with torture and other royal pastimes, but that didn't do anything except
exhaust the national treasury and hasten "dies irae populorum".
In short, denying rights to a suspect is a convoluted route to disaster. DO NOT
WANT!!![ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
