Shouldn't we trust Boyce rather than the CCRC regarding the burn marks, HB?
After all, what is the point in hiring experts if their findings can simply be dismissed by others sitting at a desk? Especially if the CCRC haven't produced a counter claim from another expert.
Even if it proved what Boyce claims how does it exonerate JB? It doesn't. How does it meet the CPS criteria for an appeal hearing? It doesn't and the CCRC will not waste resources.
The marks on NB's back were not even used at trial by either the defence or prosecution since neither pathologist was able to say conclusively what they were, how they were caused and when etc. The marks on NB's back could not have formed any part of jurors' decisions.
'Hearing new evidence' needs to be based on something highly pertinent to the trial which had jurors understood at the time might well have altered their decision/verdict.
