Current The Peru Six

[Run n Spread]

If they wait to be extradited will they have to pay for the flights? Surely if you were innocent you'd go and fight the charges, only reason I can think of for not going is that they know one of them did it.

You are either very right wing or very very naive.

a. miscarriages of justice do occur, not least in Peru
b. Peru, iirc, has no presumption of innocence in criminal trials, they would actually have to prove innocence not just cast doubts over guilt. That could be a near impossible task even if innocent.

How in the name of little green apples do we have an extradition agreement of any workable nature with a country that has no presumption of innocence?!

Apparently it is ancient and might not hold up in court under current laws anyway

To the story, there's probably more to it than what the media says (no suprise). Its quite difficult when the occurence happend 1/2 a world away, which doesnt make it easier when trying to get a clear picture of the reality to the situation.

And in a language few Australian-employed journalists can speak. If they ever go to court we'll probably have to follow US media for reporting that makes sense outside of "They're young Australians and scared".

I went to school with the two hanlon boys involved and all I can say is I am shocked to hear this news don't think there the type if guys who would do this hope there found not guilty

 

[Stratton_Gun]

Something smells fishy about this case. One thing I know for sure though, is that I wouldn't be keen to go make. If they did I would doubt they make it out of there alive even if they are found not guilty (which I doubt would be the case)

 

[thetank]

I wouldn't go back.

If I was guilty: screw going to jail.
If I was innocent: no way I'll run the risk of the judge/jury getting it wrong and going to jail as a result. prosecutors don't give a crap if you're guilty or innocent, they just want convictions.

Update - these kids could end up on interpols most wanted, 'the missing ten dollar note' and 'the footprint by the window' Hardy boys stuff this.

There is actually another Aussie being accused of the same crime in Peru, and he is being held in custody for 1 year while they investigate. That whole 'no presumption of innocence thing.' Who wants to spend a year in a Peruvian jail while the cops investigate? So no shit they arent gonna go back.

Yeah u see how they are held for 1 year without trial in Peru. Let me give you a hint, the current president of Chile used to live in Melbourne and her father lived there too, so you can expect more leniency.
