"It is agony having to wait. I feel like I have been buried alive and that no matter how hard I scream for help the authorities don't seem to care.' William Gage

before I begin, is anyone here familiar with the case?

Hi wichfinder  maybe you would like to share your views with us instead of giving us three words or your one liners.  Now we know you can speak we were wondering are you a special species of parrot or the ordinary run of the mill grey one.

looks like theirs a fair bit of political intrigue in this case.

the victim a well known drug dealer was having dinner with several prominent labor mps one of whom went on too become the home secretary.

Hi Susan, you just need to click on the links on the blog and it will provide you with more information. This is a good read, if you like reading. ;)

Unfortunately Wullie Gage lost his last appeal.  I don't know where he goes from here to be honest, but he will not give up his fight to prove his innocence, neither will his supporters.  Wullie Gage was no angel but I think this is the reason why he was fitted up for this murder.  Another case where the real killer has got away scot-free.  This case was an embaressment to the police and politicians in Scotland and they wanted someone, anyone, in the dock, in the hope that the story would die down, IMO.  The fact that they locked up an innocent man guaranteed that this case and the story behind it will not go away.
