spot on that. they are very brave as he is a nut job
Cheers Ewok. He sure is. He boasted about the murder and "threatened a repeat if aggravated in the future". The Judge was also able to take into account his previous convictions which could not be mentioned in the criminal trial, which included being jailed in 1967 for demanding money with menaces and a conviction for causing criminal damage by explosion after a grenade attack on a Jewish Minister's house. VH was notorious for attacking or ordering attacks on tenants in properties whom he wished out and who refused to go.
Its infuriating that he got off on appeal because of mistakes made by the trial Judge, but this one clearly has made no such mistake. If found guilty in February VH will appeal of course, and its likely his money is salted away in overseas investments or in property, so there will be nothing in the pot for the family.
I know its a very old fashioned view, and without wishing to be at all melodramatic, I truly believe this guy to be evil.
