Thread: OT Lynette White.

  1. #1

    OT Lynette White.

    I was aware vaguely of the incident. But not being from Cardiff and being young at the time I had no idea of the details and corruption involved. Shocking.

    Spent a lot of time down the docks around this time.... The community was torn apart by this injustice.

    After watching the Making A Murderer series on Netflix nothing surprises anymore with police corruption

    It’s brilliant. Few years old now but like you I heard it was good from quite a few people so finally gave it a go few weeks ago and watched the lot within a few days.

    Most coppers are decent , the ones involved in fitting up those five were a disgrace to south Wales police

    Thanks fella. My watch list is getting bigger by the day. Going to have to give up work at this rate.

    I wonder if there’s a decent documentary on the Lynette white case.

    It’s fascinating. It shows the Police in a shocking light and one of the lawyers.

    The year before Lynette White's murder three Cardiff men were wrongly convicted for the murder of newsagent Phillip Saunders.
    Michael O'Brien, Darren Hall and Ellis Sherwood spent eleven years inside.

    It took them 12 years to get the guy who murdered Geraldine Palk. That was around the same time wasn't it.

    O Briens father died in prison and one of the other two is now an alcoholic

    In many ways the worst part is that none of the coppers involved were ever brought to justice.

    The bloke who murdered Geraldine Palk attacked a bloke with a knife outside the canton cross some years before, an old mate of mine was in the pub when the victims mrs came running in the pub screaming for help, my mate disarmed and battered the nutter.

    That's the one , Tom mangold

    It's creepy how close the police sketch of the wanted man resembles the eventual murderer

    I think they tried but didn't succeed

    At the end of the day the jury must have been thick as shit to believe the nonsense the prosecution put up

    I guess that was what the police wanted, split the community up and move them out for the Cardiff Bay development etc? The docks was a wild place back then.
    Hard to believe they would go to such extremes to frame 5 locals, whilst happy to let some crazy who almost cut a girls head off walk the streets instead.
    Like someone said, I reckon the South Wales plod learned a big lesson from that as there are loads of really good ones out there these days.

    SWP definitely learnt a lot from that incident. There’s no way a case these would have that sort of dreadful investigation.

    The Major Crime Team are very very good at their jobs. The above investigation was a relic of the Life On Mars days.

    Plus the Professional Standards Department these days will have no hesitation in investigating and ensuring Coppers who have done wrong are prosecuted.

    Yeah it reminded me of the film “in the name of the father” interesting to see that Gary Conlon vistas Cardiff to lend his support.
