Rapist sues landlady from prison - costs her £18,750
September 9, 2008 on 9:04 am | In News |A hairdresser has said she hopes to appeal after a convicted rapist sued her from jail when she cleared out the flat he rented above one of her salons.

Thomas Cope, 55, disappeared eight months after moving into the flat above Melody Goymer’s salon in Hailsham, near Eastbourne, East Sussex.
He had been arrested for the rape of a 19-year-old woman and was jailed for life at Hove Crown Court in 2007.

I often watch the TV series of Batman with Adam West. It often highlights beautifully the insanity of the legal system & our beloved public institutions. Keep up the good work judge Barking mad !
How much are you paid out of the public purse. Daylight robbery indeed.

No wonder the bright and the rich are leaving - or have already left - the UK. Madness.
And taxpayers are picking up his legal bills.

In cases like this the criminal should have no rights, i feel gutted that my hard earned money can pay for his defence on something non related to his crime. surely he terminated the contract by being arrested for a crime he did commit. the judge is either being bribed or has blinkers, common sense should rule in cases like this.

Yet another example of the lunatics taking over the asylum! Where will all this insanity end? Do any of these so called judges live in the real world?
