Is anyone going to defend what Karen Matthews did?

I think you have her wrong sparky. She didn't know he'd committed the murders. He had previous for similar and told her that the cops would suspect him because of it. She stupidly and naively went along with it. Should have got a caution imo.
|
|
By:
To answer that last question, no, if she knows him to be guilty.

A caution for lying to the police in a highly publicised double murder case?

By:
what about women who know that their man is always **ing on them? but yet still stick by them?
women know no boundaries, they LOVE a partnership with a man, but more often than not, they are often masked by what the guy has done and if the woman is very much in love, she'll be happy to hide the murder committed by the man, cos love is love |
|
By:
And another huge flaw is that this stupid liar was made to share the dock with a monster.
Why on earth were the tried together? |
|
By:
When they make me el presidente she'll get a pardon.

By:
thats women for you, maxine carr did not commit any crime except for the man she was in love with
|
|
By:
Perverting the course of justice in a child-murder case is IMO, merits a stronger sentence than a ticking off!
I'm not sure where your confidence in her belief in his innocence comes from? |
|
By:
cos she was stupidly sticking by her man no matter what he has done!

A caution for lying to the police in a highly publicised double murder case? highly publicised should havenothing to do with it. that probably went against her. like it went against colin stagg and barry bulsara. |
|
By:
So you're saying she knew he was guilty and still went along with it?

to easter1916, yes

By:
well said p4s, the degree of publicity should have nothing to do with it.
|

I think she knew her boyfriend, and his evil tendencies, very well. This was a truly horrific murder of two totally innocent children. She did not get sentenced for simply lying about his or her whereabouts. She attempted to pervert the course of justice anhd, in my estimation, was an accessory BEFORE AND AFTER the fact.
You wouldn't like her babysitting YOUR kids. Would you? |
|
By:
you often get women who'll stick by their man, even when the guy has battered someone to a pulp etc
though you will get the odd example of when a woman will stick by the guy even when the partner committed murder maxine carr is an oddity, she is not evil though |
|
By:
pos4thstreet OJ Simpson, got away with his murder cos he was black
disgusting isn't it? he even admitted it in his book did he not? |
|
By:
If the court believed she knew for definite,
she would have been convicted for assisting an offender. These charges were dismissed |
|
By:
I cant fathom why people are justifying what she did
:( |
|
By:
it was him that committed the murders anyway!
would Huntley have done that if it wasn't for Maxine Carr? |
|
By:
In fact one of these days in one of these highly publicised peadophile/murder cases ( there is one every year or two), they WILL get the wrong person. And that person will have already been hung by the tabloids anyway, or the police will get the right person but that person will not be allowed to be tried because of media intrusion or some sort. Didn't something like that happen when some leeds football players beat up some asians one night. case was fekked because of the daily mirror.
just remembered the other guy i was thinking of.... Robert Murat.... the tabloids were ready to hang him for the maddy mcann thing, as far as i can tell they had no evidence at all. he was totally, and I mean totally, innocent. Daily Mail did a short apology one day. big deal. |
|
By:
What the court believes may be different to what the can prove. She got away virtually scot-free.
|
|
By:
I can't believe that people think 3.5 years for lying about your whereabouts is justice.
|
|
By:
can we just bear in mind who actually did the crime?
|
|
By:
either can I d13, a world gone mad, she should have got a lot more than 3 years, dress it up any way you want, she was an accesory to murder but if it had of been her daughter years down the line would she be throwing out the silly " poor me I was in love " crap
|
|
By:
She didn't get a single day for lying about her whereabouts. She got time for perverting the course of justice.
|
|
By:
I don't really think she was an accessory to murder! She helped him try to cover it up - no more of an excuse for a woman than it is for a man.
|
|
By:
She works at 'The Pork Sword' in Mirfield

By:
Other than lying about her whereabouts how did she pervert the course of justice? And how was she an accessory to murder when she was in Grimsby at the time?

What the court believes may be different to what the can prove. She got away virtually scot-free. didn't follow the case or any of these cases tbh. and i am not a legal expert, and certainly not a left winger. but surely you're not suggesting they gave her extra time because they thought she'd done something that they couldn't prove. vigilante groups can do that. |

By:
if thats what you think punter

By:
Knowing he was a child killer, she gave him a false alibi and scrubbed all the evidence out of the house.
She got off lightly, imo. Mind you, so did he. |
|
By:
did she know he was a child killer?
|
|
By:
Of course she did ffs
but this is something they could not prove in a court of law but she is not going to admit it is she? |
|
By:
If she knew Bill I have little sympathy for her. But did she know? I remember them saying she'd cleaned the house - don't a lot of people clean their house? I assume Huntley had attempted to remove most of the evidence before she returned, unless of course he knew that she'd be all blaise and reach straight for the pledge.
|
|
By:
No. I'm saying she was guilty of a lot more than just having an evil boy-friend. She tried to falsify the evidence.

Sorry. My 23-01 post was for 4h Street.
