Bob Woolmer wasn't murdered, and should teens go to jail for having under age sex?

| 15:46 UK time, Tuesday, 12 June 2007

Hi all,

It's Anita Rani in for the next three days instead of Ros. It's my first time on World Have Your Say and I can't wait to get stuck into some lively debate with you all. Today's two talking points will not disappoint.

BOB WOOLMER
Since he was found dead in his hotel room on March 18 during the Cricket World Cup, there has been much speculation as to the cause of Bob Woolmer's death. Well today it is expected that the Jamacan police will announce he died of natural causes. This is quite a u-turn for the Police force who initially announced they were treating the death as murder, in fact Lucius Thomas, the Jamaican Police commissioner saide that Woolmer had died as a result of 'manual strangulation'.
So where does this leave the entire situation, a lot of finger pointing has taken place. So what do you think. Should apologies be made and if so by whom to whom?

Should teenagers be jailed for consensual under-age sex?
Genarlow Wilson was sentenced to ten years in prison for having consenual oral sex with a 15 year old girl at a new year's eve party. He was jailed in 2005 and is now 21, but a US judge in Georgia has overturned the ruling to 12 months for misdemeanour but he has to appeal in order to be released. Where do you stand on this? Should teenagers be punished for having sex? Should Genarlow be put on the sex offenders register? Are you alarmed by the story?

Looking forward to hearing all that you have to say

Speak later
