Sorry for all those offended by my line, in fact that is a certainty for all of us, that all of us who were born are destined to die. However we should not be disheartened by this reality, because this will make us aware of our frailty, which will make us be careful of what we do in life, because sooner or later we will stand before our creator, and make account of all the hurtful words we said. How much more were the crimes commited.
Oops, my apology again. |

| Dec-18-06 | | TIMER: <Domdaniel> I remember playing against her, she was a good sport and analysed after a loss. (There are some fairly well-known even popular players who were very disrespectful after losing, so this was a good quality) Maybe it is best to remember the good things like that rather than dwell on all these speculations on the terrible events that occurred. |

 | | AdrianP: <TIMER> <could they try a civil court like where OJ Simpson was found probably guilty, in order to get compensation and some sense of justice?> It's a reasonably thorny area of English law, but in principle, yes, she could have brought a civil claim, and that would probably be a claim which could now be brought by her estate. Compare the Van Hoogstraten case (not guilty in criminal proceedings, but a civil claim successful) http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/... It's another question entirely whether a civil judgment would be much use to anyone. |

| | uzeromay: "On AdrianP's point, could they try a civil court like where OJ Simpson was found probably guilty, in order to get compensation and some sense of justice?" I hope so! I hope that's what happens. |

| Mar-22-07 | | waddayaplay: < OJ Simpson> yes, but he was guilty. |
|
| Mar-22-07 | | waddayaplay: It has happened several times that kids have made up these kind of stories to get back at their father or step-father. And it is not so funny for a man to spend 10 years in prison for such a disgusting crime if he didn't commit it. Unfortunately the courts have been prone to accept the childrens testimonies even when there is not any other evidence at all to back up their stories (including physical / gynaecological examination). |

 | | Domdaniel: Thanks, CG, for keeping the flame going for another year. A wonderful young woman, who unfortunately hit the wall marked 'utter misery' and saw no way to avoid it. It would be nice to think that some part of her essence still existed somewhere. I don't think it's likely: but it would be nice. |

 | | OhioChessFan: Very sad story. It doesn't seem that long ago. |
|
| Jul-28-10 | | drnooo: as t.s. eliot once said:
Once in a hard rain
I approached a distant wall
that had something written
on it so small
that far off it seemed to say
something about gravity
the g r s
in it being very large
then nearing it
finally was gone the tension
when I made out what
it really said
that
Grief is the fourth dimension. |
