[quote=garinda]Willow I agree, he's served his sentence, and as a victim is entitled to compensation. What bothers me is that he is fighting for more compensation than he is legally due.

Heard a Jeremy Vine interview the other day on this (only a slice you understand as dinnertime) and a gentleman was giving another slant to it all, in that he did not seek all this publicity and it was the media who swept him along, also the £ 50,000 compensation was not his figure; again one that the Daily Mail etc., has quoted. Always another side to situations sometimes. I agree that any compensation due should be payed otherwise where do we go from here ? A past shoplifter gets his hand blown off, but we all consider a good thing so tough !
Only private thought I have on this that is was the wrong member that was lost.
