Disclaimer; I'm not in anyway connected to
VERITAS and rather annoyed the name has been used for poltical purposes-especially as I'm an old codger and have been using the name for 30 years now after I nicked it from a long dead TV reviewer on an defunct Aussie newspaper called
The Truth ( which printed anything but, and trained many a young journo for a future career in Fleet Street)!!
As to the DNA evidence in the Maddie case- DNA has helped a lot of innocent people wrongly jailed-especially in the USA ( usually poor and black !)-which shows how many innocent people do get banged up but it's obviously a double edged sword.
However-I'm not sure if people know that the sniffer dogs ( now privatised like every bloody thing)that supposedly sniffed out blood in the trunk of the McCann's hired car (which turned out to be paint or tomato sauce or something-but not Maddies DNA) are also the very same dogs that sniffed out all those bodies of children murdered on Jersey and buried ( except that can't quite find them).
Nice doggies..good at finding buried coconuts but time to be retired and go to the old doggies home.
