As a potential ground of appeal the police moving Nevill is a non-starter. It involves a number of people lying. Why would they lie and why would they want to move him anyway? And f they did move him how does that undermine the prosecution case heard at trial?
Plus it seems to rely on Boyce's theories about the marks on Nevill's back - which is outside his expertise.
Basically, Jonathan, what I would like to see is the Aga evidence and moving Nevill dealt with individually. ie, did the police move Nevill after entry, and what does this prove?
And- did the Aga burn Nevills back, and what does this prove?
But of course, having said that, the police moving Nevill does change the Aga burn scenario, eg, it means JB could have killed Nevill and left him lying against the Aga when he exited the house around 2.30, so as you say, just how does the police moving Nevill clear JB?
On the other hand if the police did not move Nevill and the Aga evidence is accepted then it surely follows that Nevill burned his back much earlier before ending up on the chair/scuttle.
Its all pretty basic really, isn't it?
Two simple questions, did the police move Nevill and did the Aga burn Nevills back???
YET!!!! as yet we have no answers! Of course we are told the CT cant tell us much until the CCRC decision is challenged!
