I think this thread should be deleted...don't think people need to be speculating or making ignorant comments about buckfast when a 14 year old lad has died.

Expect it to go the way of the Michael McIlveen case where they drag it out for years then make a plea bargain for manslaughter/assault and get a few years at best.

Thats cos he turned himself in, confessed and pleaded guilty. Not a lot of determined police work involved in that!

I would imagine it would be difficult to pinpoint someone out of a mob like that without some sort of concrete evidence, the youths up giving evidence against the defendants dont seem the most reliable chaps. I was talking to a girl last week that i used to work with, she works for the prison sevice now (ferrying the lags from court to prison) and a couple of the fellas up on the Mc Ilveen case are sh*tting their togs & asking what the other prisoners in Maghaberry think of them !
