[paris]

Hi Michaela,

thanks for assistance, i actually came across that one in my search..but Bridget mentioned a sky chanel broadcasting at 10:30pm last night..but can not find anything about it??

ooopphs, you are so correct, urmmm how did I get sky channel in my head from??  (mind u i I did knock back a few B-52's last night at a party!!) and not feeling very clever with myself today lol altho it was fun at the time.. no wonder why Bridget did'nt bother answering me!! thanks Michaela

Wow. Gobsmacked.  I never followed the case in any detail but I imagine many will be shocked at this.

I am stunned. Absolutely shocking..

My neighbour thinks the confession won't affect him at this stage because in essence he's done the time as a 'guilty' person, so the admission won't change anything now.

Hi Jo, this begs the question.......who is your neighbour?

I know bugger all about parole hearings etc, but it does make sense that an admission of guilt is essential in order for rehabilitation to take place. Surely a parole board will look more favourably on a person who has faced up to his crime, shown remorse, completed the counselling etc etc.

Having said all that, I guess that Eddie Gilfoyle was released without ever admitting to his crime.  What were the circumstances surrounding his release? I seem to remember that they imposed some sort of gagging clause on him upon his release.

Neil,,in Eddies' case,,diaries had been recovered 2 years prior to Eddies' release.Police had been " sitting " on them for 16 years.Diaries of Paula Gilfoyle,the deceased,,which contained vital information which eventually pointed to Eddies' innocence.
Attempts at suicide by Eddies' late wife were seen to have taken place,,and the woman herself was quite fragile,mentally.
However,it still took 2 years to release Eddie in 2010,complete with gagging order,which was eventually lifted. Police corruption was evident in this case.

the sighn of weather its a genuine confession or not is if it tallys up with the facts of case and weather it implicates other people.

becouse its impossble for him to have acted alone.

I am wondering..okay he has done his sentence (almost) but all throughout has been lying to everyone, had so many people running around giving up their precious time, playing the victim..and NOT showing any remorse what-so-ever..which is cold sneaky and premeditated..had his appeal been accepted and he had of been freed, he would have carried on lying, pretending to be a 'victim' and expected to continue getting all the sympathy and un-deserved support and milked it for all it's worth.. I fail to see how he has been reformed?? I don't think or believe he is ready for release back into society yet..or am I being too harsh?

this also means that some of his albi witness must of been lying but witch ones and why.

Why do you say that Nugs? Prosecution alleged that the murder happened in the hour between dropping JB home and returning home himself. I wonder where he cleaned up and dumped his clothes?

[nugnug]

an hour wasn't enough time one of the wounds half hour after the other wounds.

the time frame does not seem to be nearly long enough to me

but there was still that gap of time which could not be accounted for..although continual questioning of people who knew him would have influenced there inability to be precise.. bewilderment.. confusion.. short term memory loss..would have taken it's toll on them as the shock took over..I would think under such circumstances it's quite easy/understandable to rely on other peoples memory of times and accounts and actually claim this as being 'there own recall/memory of events' ...am I making any sense??

UP to half an hour afterwards. Imo an hour was plenty of time. Do you feel it was carried out during the night nugs? If so,he MUST have had an accomplice.

Thanks Lookout. I do remember talk of a diary. Was it this which led directly to his release? Would the matter not have to be heard by a court before he could be released?

Well some one's going to get a knock on their door soon.........

i had thought that maybe he had done it with ancomplice before but i dident want to have a needless fight with his supporter so i kept my mouth shut about that theory.

i wonder if that lock-in in the rep really happened.
