Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Had those cases before? Care to elaborate or specify on that I would be greatly interested.
Here's one I remember from my childhood...

Edit: For clarity I'm not suggesting anything like that happened in this case. It just fit the bill for what I thought you were looking for
I'm not buying what you're selling. She did it clear as day. I don't know the mental gymnastics you need to go through to convince yourself that she didn't do it, because it's truly mind boggling. Who are you trying to blame if it's not her, NHS, police, the hospital, or the doctors? No, I'm sorry, I just can't buy what you're selling. I did read the article, I'll admit police abuses do occur, I will add I'm American, and our police are much worse then your police forces when it comes to this. The truth, they handled her with kid glove in this case, but she buried herself with a mountain of evidence. I feel the article you linked was more linked to British peoples hate for the Irish. Do miscarriages of justice happen? They can. Do i think that was the case here? No.
I think you fully misunderstood me. I'm not selling anything except that serious miscarriages of justice have happened in the past (edit: specifically in the UK). I genuinely thought that's all you were asking.
I'm not familiar with this case at all and if she's guilty I hope she fucking rots.
I understand now, fair. All good.
There was this case of Lucia de Berk who was locked up innocently.

I'm not saying that it's the same scenario here, but I would remain careful in passing judgement.
