Blakelock

[Jimbuna]

Just came across this...

The solicitor of the man cleared of killing PC Keith Blakelock in the 1985 Tottenham riots has criticised the authorities for keeping him in prison.

Nicholas Jacobs, 45, was found not guilty on Wednesday of the murder and manslaughter of the officer who was stabbed 43 times at Broadwater Farm.

But he was kept in prison overnight as administrative offices had closed.

His solicitor Tony Meisels said: "It's almost like the last small laugh of the police, to keep him an extra night."

Somebody is leaving themselves wide open to public criticism here.
