Accused - 2. Frankie's Story

http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode...rankies_Story/

Drama series written by Jimmy McGovern. Frankie, a young soldier on trial, starts the long walk back up to his courtroom to learn the decision of the jury.

Anybody watch it? Poor guy.

Think I would have shot them all - inaction is a form of action. People who just 'watch' injustice and do nothing are no better than the ones doing it, IMO.

Yes Azz, I watched it and felt sorry for the poor feller too. Not one of his comrades came forward, in fear of that treacherous sergeant and even the father of the soldier who committed suicide didn't in order to protect his family. He certainly carried the can, poor sod.

Feel the same as you Azz. Terribly sad.

I watched it, and what a shame.....To think this REALLY happens is sad. They are already in hell, and the bullying makes it even more of a hell.

One of my favourite sayings is "evil exists when good men do nothing"....
