Ahh I read about that in take a break, poor woman. Have already signed but will share now

comfysofas · 20/04/2013 18:43

I think I would need to know more before I sign a petition.

HairyPotter · 20/04/2013 18:50

Everyone deserves a fair trial. I think that's all the petition is calling for. I might be wrong though.

piprabbit · 20/04/2013 18:50

comfy - Nicole's situation has been featured on various national news channels and there is plenty of information on line.

Clicking the link won't automatically sign the petition - it ust takes you a page with some information.

Wow, I thought this thread had been missed by everyone! I come back and loads of you have signed! Thanks so much!

I read about it in take a break too, thanks to Quote for the links to share with others!

And thanks to Rebecca for moving it to petitions. I didn't even know we had a petition board!!

I couldn't quite believe what I was reading in this story. Poor woman. She is also basically being held to ransom by her DH's family. Police know it was an accident but as they are alleging murder she will not be released. They want £170k to drop their allegations! If that's not ransom, I don't know what is! Shame on them for cashing in on their son's death in this way.
