Brett Flournoy murder trial

Post by plymouthskinhead »

I just heard on the local news about the murder trial and death of Brett Flournoy and his accomplice who were shot last summer and the fact that they were noted as drug dealers. I haven't got much sympathy for this, I'm afraid.

Because I'm dissappointed that having being part of the Combined Services coaching set up when he boxed with us he chose that path. Tragic, grim and fornicating nasty, but why go down that way??


Happy now? :roll:

Would they have found the bodies if the accused hadn't told them they'd been murdered and buried there I wonder

I am not happy about anyones death, I first met Brett when he was based in Chatham, and boxed in the Novices, its the path that many have gone, but not ended this way, so, no, I am not happy,

Neither am I, that he got involved in this way of life/death.

Boxed him in finals of the under 20's was walking through most opponents with ease but brett beat me fair and square. Better boxer on the night and 1 of the best a boxed or spared, very good on his day, seen him again alot of times on shows together and at Karl Inces gotta say i aint happy not nice for anyone and feel sorry for his family RIP mate

No sympathy really, obviously you can't walk a mile in another mans shoes and all that but had so much talent yet still got involved in that shit.

I'll reserve my sympathy for thos ewho choose not to live a law abiding life.

Saw several of his fights early on in his career, had a lot of promise... this is bad news all-round.

Presumabely because this is a boxing forum, and the news item involves a boxer.

Not really confusing.

It is a sad story and most people who knew Brett would agree that he was a personable enough sort of lad. However, regardless of the metric used, by no stretch of the imagination was he a "great boxer"; he was fairly decent.
i thought he was great

Why didn't the accused just pay up, surely that would have been an easier option than murdering two men and burying them inside their van.

This will all come out in due course I guess and may constitute his defence

That does not even make sense.
Which bit are you struggling with?

All i'm saying is I'l obvious I feel sorry for his family, but anyone who involves themselves with that shit knows the risks, he obviously wasn't going down to give that fella a hug and say give us the money u owe us laddy.

Just because he was a talented boxer shouldn't excuse that he was a drug dealer - in fact the fact he had that talent and wasted it makes it worse.

Obviously I dont know him personally and hopefully he's resting there in peace, but I personally will never lose sleep over a dead drug dealer.

Thanks, just bad grammar that. That "Not" shouldn't be there.
