After a distressing afternoon in the Derby Magistrates Court on March 6th, the presiding District Judge ruled that he had insufficient powers of sentence and committed the case for sentencing to Derby Crown Court on April 12th at 09:30. It was a dramatic day after which at last it looks like the justice system will deliver. Keith (Karl’s dad) played no small part in achieving this, by meetings with the CPS and media interviews. On the day both he and Linda were interviewed by BBC TV news. Midlands Today and East Midlands Today ran the story at the top of their evening news broadcasts. Journalists from the BBC, The Sentinel and The Chronicle were in court.
