Channel 9’s Today show ran a poll yesterday asking viewers if they thought Joanne Lees was innocent of Peter Falconio’s murder … the one that Bradley Murdoch has been convicted of.



Andrew Denton, the ABC presenter, criticised Nine today, and said they should publicly apologise to Miss Lees.



Why don’t we just do away with the court system, and do all trials by phone, online or SMS vote? Think of the money that could be saved - no judges, or magistrates or stuff like that, just bean counters to add up the votes. And it addresses the concerns of those claiming the judiciary is out of touch with community expectations. Let the community decide. Why not go the whole hog and do it in a big stadium …thumbs up or thumbs down? Gladiators mk 2, wow!
