Coronation Street - Current Episode Discussion - V

[mysangry]

Had to laugh at the stupid taxi scene featuring Beth with her "Bluey" coat and how all the supermarket advertising boards were the same colour and then when she got back to the street
even Preston Petal's van had a makeover to match her coat, gone was the black and purple in comes Black and Bue.

Really! is it not enough that chaos is happening in the street--- but to have a scenic background matching the colour of clothing:-(

Cannot possibly see how DS Swain came to the conclusion, after assessing all the evidence, that Peter was purely motivated by a desire to protect Jenny from possible lethal harm. What they showed us, was Stephen in the middle of the road and Jenny no where to be seen from our view point. So she was in no immediate danger when Peter hit him. Definitely use of excessive force if nothing else. Looks like Peter's exit from the show will not be him going to prison, wonder what it will be.

I don't think she came to that conclusion. I think she and the CPS concluded that a jury was very unlikely to convict someone who killed a serial killer

DS Dwain said "After assessing all the evidence, having considered the CCTV, forensics, witness statements and so forth we have decided not to proceed". No mention of the CPS, the fact that Stephen was a serial killer should not have influenced the decision. It would be the job of the prosecution barrister to argue in court that regardless of Stephen being a murderer, Peter acted unlawfully. After all Stephen has not been convicted of any crime.

He could still confess giving a different reason for hitting Stephen.

I think that might happen.. he is being eaten up with guilt, he will go back to cop shop and say I really wanted to kill him and they will then give him jail time

They can't give him jail time. I think you mean a judge could give him jail time after a trial.

Yes, sorry, I meant he confesses to the police and then there is a trial etc.

According to some media Peter has a breakdown and goes into rehab....
