Why did the prosecution not challenge the defence witnesses evidence that Ms. H was not even at Bute House when the alleged incident took place? They have accepted, without challenge, that this specific allegation couldn't be true.
Both Samantha Barber, interestingly a friend of Ms. H, and Tasmina Ahmed Sheikh, give evidence that Ms. H was not at Bute House and that her allegations cannot be true. If you only read one side, Steve, then that is all that you will know.
I was already aware of the story that you posted, as is everybody. Were you even aware that this is contradicted or didn't the Independent report that?
Do you know what Samantha Barber and Tasmina Ahmed Sheikh said in evidence? Does it matter to you or are you happy to decide guilt only by hearing the prosecution side? No defence witnesses required.
