Neil Acourt, then 17, and Luke Knight, who was 16 is the case that was used to destroy freedom 2 out of 5 that r kids-are the reason the govt allowed everyones rights to be taken away- when the left takes away the Rights rights and the Right fights to take away the lefts rights then the result is a police state with no rights -best wishes to you and your loved ones

this is so sad ,my heart is broken -but i still can not agree with the double jeopardy law being changed ,the law is there for a reason so govt can not abuse people for years and use the first trial as a learning curve to convict someone later ,we know govt and large corporations will abuse this 10s of 1000s of times in the future ,that is very sad too

Thank goodness for changes in double jeopardy rules, this story had me feeling really emotional. What a scumbag. Knowing the laws, well he will be out in 10 years. What a thug, crowbar on the next victim, her life is forever altered. My God, such a pity he wasn't prosecuted first time round.

happyness01--if the govt wasn,t hiring their own inbreed kids for century's then we would not have idiotic good old boys club in the justice system,they are the reason the law gets changed because they r not real law enforcement but posers not capable of doing the job with out taking away human rights

AbilityToThink - Sorry but this is an English law matter, not a US law matter. Please review the case of Stephen Laurence and the MacPherson Report should you wish further information into the reason why English law has been altered.  This is against the directives of the European Convention of Human Rights, however it is important to note the extreme measures undertaken to reach a point of pass within double jeopardy within English Law.
