What reason would he have to lie? How are the socks in any way contentious?
In your answer to this question you are showing that you have not assimilated the evidence of his statement and his taped interview with the COLP. Nor have you read my argument as set out in my posts. He found the SM DB1 between the 07/08/85 and the time the crime scene closure when the keys were returned on 09/08/85. You are clearly suffering from guilters denial. A problem of not wishing to explore uncomfortable facts that suggest that the case against JB was a fabrication. He lied to deceive the COLP of his finding of DB1 and substituting a soil sample in its place.
If it was shown that there were two SM's the case against JB falls since the Crowns case was based on there only being one.
I would engage further but until you have absorbed the other side of the argument I would be wasting my time. We do not, unfortunately, have a pill for guilters denial. Unless and until you make a cogent argument that fully explains why he made two different statements on the same subject, on the same day which differ in terms of the items collected and why he deleted the SM in favour of a soil sample and then in order to make it DB1 made an additional entry in his pocket book, when he had previously recorded it at a later time, there is nothing to discuss.
You also need to explain how he was able to collect the socks in situ 33 days later.
Can posters let me know if Adam has solved the riddle of the blue socks I have him on ignore. I do not engage with puerile posters?
