Site inaccessible, but I think he did it. His sister, whom he blamed from the get-go, didn't have gunshot residue on her from handling a gun.

There are a couple of parallels with murder cases in the news recently. Like mushroom poisoner Erin Patterson, he luckily survived the massacre (well, he wasn't there, his sister apparently didn't want to wipe him out too), and he seems to have done what the Menendez brothers did after killing their parents: go on a spending spree.

Jo as with most others, I do not have enough knowledge of details to consider him Guilty or Innocent. I just comment on the fairness of his trial and police behaviour in general. But this is specifically a clever, well written piece. Guilt or Innocence - no idea.

Ditto, circumstantial evidence is concrete evidence. We all have our theories on things despite not being at these events.


Is Letby guilty or innocent? No one knows for sure, but have babies stopped dying since she's been away from the ward?

Another case I have reservations about but tend to swing each way when I read about it.

There seems to have been a motive for the relatives to find that silencer seeing they also inherited the property once Bamber was convicted.

My big problem is the British legal establishment makes it incredibly difficult to challenge cases that may be suspect.

Exactly Hedda - just what I'm battling 25 years (and two acquittals) later.

In the Bamber case, the police came to a very fast conclusion - identifying the sister (mental issues) as the perpetrator.

Much relevant evidence was destroyed, as a result - only be hastily reassembled - in a much worse/informative condition.

The Innocence Project in the US follows up on suspect cases, quite successfully - pro bone. Perhaps a UK version might help.

The sister's mental issues made her the ideal target, perhaps?

People still think Charles Manson was innocent, he didn't do killings apart from one, which was a Black panther member I believe, but murder is still murder. He was involved in joint enterprises.

The US 'Innocent Project' has had remarkable successes after decades of wrongful convictions.

Very admiralable and dedicated often young. unpaid legal researchers.
