TIGHTCHOKE Posted January 25, 2019 Report Share Posted January 25, 2019 Am I alone in feeling this awful excuse for a human being is starting to feel the pressure? https://www.standard.co.uk/news/crime/jack-shepherd-latest-speedboat-killer-to-appear-before-georgian-court-amid-push-for-his-extradition-a4048386.html Interesting to see some of his friends coming forward to "defend" him, a little late as he should have undergone the court process rather than RUNNING AWAY!

tweedledee Posted January 25, 2019 Report Share Posted January 25, 2019 That was absolutely tragic....a beautiful young lass cut down in her prime....obviously a sense of what could happen sent him on the run ...should have been a man and answered to what happened...took the cowardly way out...

Newbie to this Posted January 25, 2019 Report Share Posted January 25, 2019 (edited) I can't see him fighting extradition for long, if he is remanded. Better to be in a nice liberal UK prison, than a Georgian one. I hope they also prosecute him for absconding and hit him with the costs of the extradition. But I won't hold my breath.

scolopax Posted January 25, 2019 Report Share Posted January 25, 2019 I think he has been treated harshly. My facts may be wrong but were they not both drunk and she was at the wheel of the speed boat when she crashed it? Six years in prison for a tragic drunken escapade with no malice.

No ,he says she was at the wheel, we will never know for sure, but his actions prove him to be a coward and a liar. I believe he would say anything to get himself off the hook. His boat , his responsibility for her death. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scolopax Posted January 25, 2019 Report Share Posted January 25, 2019 Of course he wants to get off the hook as you put it, he thinks he is innocent and who would fancy going to a prison for six years as I said earlier no malice...very harsh sentence Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They should double it on his return then he might just serve 6yrs or some goody goody prison visitor would come up and say he has found god or similar and he gets released early.

Gordon R Posted January 25, 2019 Report Share Posted January 25, 2019 I thought he got off lightly and cannot comprehend why anyone would think it was harsh. Someone died and he did a runner. All his nonsense about hoping the truth will come out - idiocy. His chance to tell his side came and went. Also on bail for hitting a barman over the head with a bottle, which seems to be been ignored. Complete scumbag. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walker570 Posted January 25, 2019 Report Share Posted January 25, 2019 No Gordon, he is a very misunderstood young person, the barman just happened to put his head in the way and I think your description is far too kind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if you get drunk & get on the back of her on your high power motorcycle it,s "just & drunken escapade" & to hell with the consequences?

ph5172 Posted January 25, 2019 Report Share Posted January 25, 2019 I don’t think many innocent people or those who are part of the misfortune of the folly of youth do a runner and spend years hiding on the back of daddy’s money (someone had to be bankrolling him) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no proof she was behind the wheel, the coward said she was behind the wheel but why would you believe him? He had history of doing this with girls and had been stopped by the police for excessive speed on the water before. He is a coward and I would like to think that the courts will ensure he does not get any early release due to his disappearing act, however the fact he has been granted an appeal speaks volumes! He is a rat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scobydog Posted January 26, 2019 Report Share Posted January 26, 2019 Apparently the jail he is remanded to is the most notorious in Georgia, rape murder etc are quite regular events, even some of the guards have been caught raping the inmates, hope he enjoys his stay, not.

Why did he not just step forward and explain the situation? Our justice system, seemingly from the way crime is spiraling out of control is hardly something to be frightened of? The way he has been able to abuse our legal aid system is beyond my comprehension. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eddoakley Posted January 27, 2019 Report Share Posted January 27, 2019 Clearly the guy is a $@^&@*! Of the highest order but as far as I have read there is no evidence (new "witness" being an exception) to dispute his statement that the girl was driving. I'm not condoning any of his actions in any way, the accident or running away and receiving legal aid whilst on the run is crazy, but if in fact he wasn't in control of the boat at the time of the crash then he deserves the chance to have that taken into account. I appreciate that the court found him guilty having heard all of the evidence but what if.... Edd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
