LONDON (Reuters) - The High Court decided on Friday that the inquest into the death of Princess Diana in a Paris car crash 10 years ago should be heard by a jury.
The decision was a major legal victory for Egyptian-born Mohamed al Fayed, the father of Diana's lover Dodi.
Al Fayed, who is convinced his son and Diana were murdered, had sought to overturn a ruling by former top woman judge Elizbaeth Butler-Sloss to handle the official inquiries on her own.
Three senior judges ordered that the coroner hearing the inquest "shall do so sitting with a jury".

Very doubtful. There's been far too much publicity, media interest, speculation and conspiracy theories. Very unlikely they'll be able to find Jury members who know nothing about the case. So very unlikely to find an unbiased jury who will give a fair hearing.

Firstly I take my hat of to Mr Al Fayed - he is trying so hard not to leave one stone unturned - which any parent would I am sure. Secondly - we all have our suspicions as to how the accident happened (no secret). However, the outcome if certain parties are found guilty (if any) - I suspect they will not be treated the same as any murder case in history. Unfortunately, I do not think this outcome will result in such a trial.

The fact is that there is no evidence that they were murdered. With no evidence nobody can be prosecuted and if they were on trial nobody will get a fair trial and it will collapse. Fayed's heart broke that day and he needs some kind of closure and he probably thinks this would be it for him. Let them rest in peace!!

i think the suspect should be treated the same but that's what i think. but usually when someone murders someone important - which is called assassination - is usually treated differently because they killed someone important but if that suspect killed someone such as an old woman then they would be treated differently to the suspect of princess diana's death. that's what i think.

i think it is all the money and the fame that is doing stuffs for the death people as Princess Diana......dont blieve every other murder case would be treated the same, any way.
