The Henderson Campaign - The Pink Lady Talks Back

Following on from the posting on Sheila's Wheels below :-

Of course, accuracy is important in all things in the world. The title of the PINK blog is this "Keran Henderson Shaken Baby and unsafe convictions". It does not make any mention in the title of Maeve Sheppard. Sheila currently states that the reason for the choice of colour was "Maeve" as she was a little girl. In reality, the majority of the postings on the PINK website is about a grown up called Keran Henderson who currently basks in the sunshine of the media's glare parading the fact she is apparently innocent as the driven snow. We might as well have the Keran Henderson Talk Show now. I mean we have had everything else haven't we? Are we going to have Keran Henderson mugs, teeshirts, car stickers now?

The blatant truth is this, if Sheila gave a damn about Maeve Sheppard or her family, she would not be parading the naked misconceptions of how innocent Keran Henderson is. If she had any remote amount of decency, she would stop telling us the public what we should think and she would opt to present the transcripts and the judgment on her website [ plus ALL Expert reports] so that we can all assess the truthfulness of the situation. Of course, no one will give us that information certainly not the Henderson campaign. Why should we believe Keran is innocent anyway? There isn't a remote piece of evidence that shows us she is innocent. So, the Henderson campaign is going to prove 12 experts wrong eh? [ thats multidisciplinary experts as well]. Now that is a tall order.

No person in their right mind would drag Mr and Mrs Sheppard through this media turmoil apart from Sheila herself. Where does the blame lie for the media bandwagon - it lies with the Dream Team. The Pink website and the repercussions have forced poor Mr and Mrs Sheppard to defend their case. As private people, I doubt they like the publicity bandwagon being shone on them in this way - to have their privacy invaded yet again when all they wanted to do was to get on with their lives. The Henderson Campaign's hunger for the media generated publicity to influence the appeal is an embarrassment to the campaign and their legal team. Parading the bio mechanics study as the forefront of opening other appeals - I mean, what a load of rubbish from people who don't even understand how science works. Yes, its all presented nicely for the gullible public who will believe whatever is in front of them because they don't know any better. Infact, Ofcom should look at the Panorama programme in great detail.

My advice - lets take all the blogs down, lets stop the media publicity and let the Henderson team continue their appeal/permission to appeal quietly [ through the courts] without dragging the Sheppards through this media bandwagon. Infact, it may even be an idea for me to write to the appeal judges outlining exactly what has been happening here in terms of running appeal cases through the media first before the courts.

Of course, no one will like my idea because its not good for the Henderson Campaign is it? All that money gained from the public by way of donations and we still don't have a breakdown do we. It would be a great shame if the public were blinded by a guilty woman. Mind you, even the guilty win appeals on a technicality. It is the shame that more innocent people don't get the same breaks in life.
