Mick Philpott, the Telegraph told us in 2006:
<a class="break-all" href="http://web.archive.org/web/20120826113856/www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/1534303/Jobless-and-shameless.html" rel="nofollow noindex" target="_blank">web.archive.org/web/20120826113856/www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/1534303/Jobless-and-shameless.html
"in 1978 was convicted of attempted murder after stabbing a teenager 11 times"
At some point this was expunged from the record, as it's no longer there:

Apparently the jury in his trial were not told of this fact, although it was revealed in sentencing.
Is it possible/sensible to remove the seemingly indelible at-your-fingertips record created by Google from history, and try people as if we were still living in a pre-internet world, when everyone came into court as an unknown quantity.
