This is vermin.
Three travellers hug as they are CLEARED of murdering PC, but convicted of manslaughter as his widow weeps in court. The three killers had laughed and joked with each other during the trial and when Long was charged he said he 'didn't give a f***.'
Travellers who dragged officer for a mile behind getaway car as he tried to stop them stealing a quad bike are convicted of manslaughter - as it emerges police had to protect jury from intimidation
PC Andrew Harper, 28, had tried to stop the thieves stealing a quad bike and his ankles were lassoed by the trailing loading strap as the teenagers tried to escape in Sulhamstead, Berkshire.
For over a mile he was towed helplessly behind the Seat Toledo by his feet as the car reached speeds of up to 60mph with driver Henry Long, 19, swerving violently to try and release the stricken officer.
Long and his two friends Albert Bowers and Jessie Cole, both 18, were all accused of murder but convicted only of manslaughter and were seen joyfully embracing each other via a videolink from HMP Belmarsh in London.
Their families cheered as the verdict was announced - but PC Harper's wife Lissie sobbed in court. The three killers had laughed and joked with each other during the trial and when Long was charged he said he 'didn't give a f***.'
Meanwhile it can now be reported that the jury were given special protection by police because detectives believed associates of the defendants were planning to intimidate them
Sentence will be next week.
Should be erased from society permanently

Gypsy scum from the bottom of the barrel.
Everybody knows that the present laws in this country are far too soft on every type of crime but will the judiciary do anything about it? Will they hell as like.
So thanks all the do-gooders, Howard league reformers and similar angst mard arses look where we've ended up.

It sounds like the jury were 'nobbled' they were intimidated into finding them guilty of manslaughter, and not murder, however the maximum sentence for manslaughter is life imprisonment, so lets hope that the judge gives them that, unless he has been 'nobbled' too.

It reads exactly that. The jury were intimidated, but no news on any arrests?

Did anyone see the Channel 4 Dispatches program, The Truth About Travellers' it was shown in April, and it describes how the traveller communities indulge in all forms of serious crimes, and they routinely travel around tooled up with guns, and they aren't bothered about shooting at folk with them, and the police don't do anything about it, stating that they don't have the resources to stop them ....

Not a bad result. What should now happen is that the scum spend their sentences in a wet and cold cell for 23hours a day, give them just enough to live off and if they die early all well and good.
Can I remind the do gooders they did wrong and should be punished.

Years ago when I lived in Croston, on the lane where I lived a group of travellers set up camp. More and more arrived every day and there must have been about fifty vans. I formed an action group to get rid of them but they were running rings around the police. My son, who had to ride past them on his way home, was pelted with various missiles. Their language was appalling . The Council provided them with toilets but they preferred to do whatever
outside in full view of anyone driving past. They were disgusting. When they eventually did leave weeks later the mess left behind was unbelievable.
