I have looked at a lot of articles about today's court summons and the magistrate's words. I keep going back to 'wtaf?' If 2 infamous characters came before me (if I was a judge, and, granted - I am not) then the last thing I would be doing is adding fuel to the fire. I am a bit perplexed at the words that this judge used today to describe this case. It feels like grandstanding (possibly IMO MOO JMO). I feel quite annoyed.
Magistrate Robyn Denes said she understood the interest in the case but questioned the true desire to mention the defendants’ connection to William.
maybe the public wants to know what has happened to LT and how this might cast some light on the lifestyle of a little boy and that justice is served? (my own thoughts, possibly JMO MOO IMO)
Aside from that link, the matter was not dissimilar to matters heard in every court in NSW, she said, saying media weren’t in her court last week for a case involving “far more serious allegation” and a five-year-old.
(good point. But, this poor child is not related to a missing child? so, how would media scrutiny help this 5 year old? the media would just report basically what happened. and then what? the public could say 'that's terrible' and shake their heads in sympathy. should every child's case be presented for further investigation and public support in what way? go-fundme? this is a great idea - but, I am just relying on my own thoughts, Perhaps the judge could have explained further why this is an important point? possibly, JMO MOO IMO).
“What’s the interest besides, dare I say it, the clickbait issue?” she said.
(is this alluding to the fact that a large proportion of Australians, and our global counterparts, are interested in justice being served for WT. and also for LT, as she has had a horrific time and now has been removed from one life to another new life. There are 2 victims here - both related. one is missing. one has to start a new life. again. possibly, JMO MOO IMO).
