What case? Is this the one in Liverpool? If the son killed and mother withheld evidence etc then damn right she faces the law. |

And what about justice for the mother and father who will never see their son again ...She is lucky that her son is not hanged ...which he should be ... |

Are you saying that a mother should be able to lie to the police. to give them misleading Information and that would be ok. no that can never be right. no one should just because of their relationship to a defendant be above the law. |

And you would feel the same if it was your son murdered?
The woman knew that her scummy son murdered that kid and said nothing, prolonging the parents agony, she got off light in my books.
I know if my son did anything like that and I knew about it I would be the first to report him. |

That may be your opinion. Its is not mine. If the boot was on the other foot, and her kid was shot, she would be squealing like a stuck pig.....What about the poor kid that little piece of sh*t killed? What about the couple of million pounds of taxpayers money wasted in looking for that garbage.....And you are assuming a sense of family and motherly love existed in the first place....y'know what. I doubt it.....My children were never allowed to run amuck for years , making every ones life a bloody misery. Perhaps if she had been a decent parent in the first place, that boy would now be alive and well. and her son would be a decent lad.....SCREW!! the *****. let her rot as far as I'm conserned. and that goes for her garbage son too. |

I can see where she was coming from but even mothers have a duty to the law. No one was asking her to shop her son but she was obliged not to be untruthful. She knew her son had committed murder and common sense should have told her that he was going to get caught especially as his name was plastered in graffiti all over the estate. As a mother her best advice was to tell her son to give himself up and he might get a lighter sentence. As it is she has served him badly by trying to shield and lying for him. I do not think the sentence is harsh but it does underline that hiding a criminal is worthy of a prison sentence. I thought the other two named Yates deserved a much harsher punishment than they got.
Kate UK law does not have a 5th Amendment you are Even so not obliged to give evidence which may convict you. However in this case the son who was found guilty of murder refused to give any evidence. The implications of that refusal are well known and advised by defending lawyers. I'm sure that when the 5th Amendment protection is claimed in USA the same implications there
Habeus Corpus has been watered down a little or maybe too much in that surprise defences are viewed with great suspician particularly when that defence could have been produced during the police investigation.
Curious how it is only the guilty who know their rights |

It's called aiding a criminal and trying to pervert the course of justice. I think 3 years was not long enough.
Maybe she should have spent more time being a mother then her son might not have been going around shooting at people!
Edit - a mother like any person has to give evidence / tell the truth. |

You are completely out of order what about justice for the victims and their mothers have you no compassion, you should be ashamed yourself for even asking such a question.
Blood ties is no excuse for protecting a murderer, if that was the case we would probably have even more murders committed because some miss-guided mothers would be prepared to lie and provide alibi's to protect their murdering children.
Within reason there is nothing wrong with a mother protecting her children, it just depends what she is protecting them from and for what reason.
How you can relate other Animals and Insects behaviour to Human behaviour when it comes to murder is farcical as animals and insects cannot commit murder, they may kill for many reasons but the overwhelming vast majority of these reasons are instinctive to survive. |

I do not believe the sentence handed out to this Mother was severe.In fact I consider it was too lenient!
What we are dealing with is a very young innocent lad who was going home when he was shot .
In my view ;Every one has the right to walk the streets in safety without the prospect of some hoodlum using a gun.
This Mother has a few questions to answer in my opinion and one is!How can a Mother stand by and watch her Son develop into a Monster.
The Mother should have handed him over to the police straight away!
Personally!I hope the guy rots in prison!
Now the question I want answered is simply this;If the 'boot was on the other foot'Would that mother expected that other person's mother to go to the police straight away? |

Doesn't the 5th amendment protect this right? The right to remain silent on several issues. We cannot ever be really forced to talk anyway. No matter the consequences. Nobody can force us to do anything. Well, outside of those personal to us.
Didn't realize it was murder or similar. Well, my son should pay the price as anyone elses would have to. He cannot scare me like that and he is bigger than I am by foot and 100#. I'd slap his effing head and always will. It remains an issue to be dealt with for sure. No, I would tell on him for murder same as I would the neighbor. |

She could have pleaded the fifth amendment, or similar dependent on which country you're talking about. She could have just kept quiet. |
