Difficult for the Police to prove that the brothers were involved in the actual murder.
At least the poor woman finally got a decent burial.

A stay out of jail option recommended by the brief ...
Works for those who haven't got a hope but there is insufficient evidence to nail a conviction.

I opened the thread thinking we would have to club together to bail you out!

Channel 4 sir.
Thank you.
re. Solicitors are ****
Well, he may not have been charming, but he was only doing his job, and with far less glee it seemed than the forensic archeologist.
Fascinating TV, but prurient beyond belief. I hope the children referred to have had full access to proper counselling. Such a sad story but maybe its shows not all stories can be conclusive, and that the presumption of innocence has to be preserved at all costs.

We were watching last night and asking ourselves how solicitors can act like that one did last night. Nothing to do with getting to the truth or justice, seemed to be about being as awkward as possible. If his client was innocent, let him prove his innocence instead of the 'no comment' cobblers.

I know what you mean but I bet his phone has been ringing off the hook today
But without evidence (and the officers claimed they had some but nothing came of it) the only evidence they may produce would result from the interviews. Therefore it's obvious the lawyer was doing the right thing (as far as his client is concerned) to tell his client to decline to do so.
The guy he represented was awkward but also a physical wreck, with perhaps a very short life-expectancy. He was only suspected of aiding a crime, not being the perp himself but even if he was, it's unclear there would be much purpose served but him being cared for at the expense of the taxpayer at HM's pleasure.
You cannot prove a negative (eg innocence), and it is for a jury prove guilt. The judge threw out the case against his so he, as it stands, is by definition innocent, although I imagine he has the worst life imaginable, which might be the best justice achievable in the circumstances.

The ****ing body was in his ****ing garden! How much more evidence do you want ffs!

Gotta admit. That's f*&$%ing strong circumstantial evidence! You'd have thought though the police would have established cause of death, and tried to link the body someone or something forensically. But nothing like that was even mentioned.
You do realise the evidence and facts presently will be stongly biased towards what the documentary makers want, which is to get a reaction out of you so you'll come on the internet and talk about it and then tune in next week?

His answer to that was to say that his alcoholism, and associated health problems, meant that, for a lot of the time, he didn’t know who was in his garden or what they were doing there.

I haven't seen this week's but caught up last night to this one. I said straight away that there is no public interest in sending her down unless it was to get her of drugs. Then she got two years but attended drug rehabilitation but they didn't say if she is still off it.
Felt very sorry for her.

The police didn't investigate the original disappearance twelve years before properly.
