Ah but the brains behind the CT are those working in the background of the case,page by page. A fresh outlook on a 30 year old case can throw up all kinds of" nasties" that occurred during the investigation and trial." Nasties" that wouldn't be accepted in todays courts of law.
I can only hope that the QC who is helping with this case is Michael Mansfield,not just because of his vast experience in his working life,but also the very sad experience he had with a daughter,Anna, who suffered mental health issues and committed suicide a couple of years ago after having made other attempts. It's not something anyone expects will happen as these things happen quickly and unexpectedly when they do.
I've just been reading about a man who killed his two children out of revenge because of a divorce (todays Mail ) This practically happens on a daily basis. Sheila had far more on her plate !! Years of a controlling mother takes its toll alone besides other huge issues which were going on in her life,and had gone on.
This murder was never about money as none was taken and there was a safe full of it-----workers wages,etc.
When was it last known that relatives took centre stage in an investigation, for starters ? Who did more than " assist ",but bought goodies for those officers who they befriended,then threw a party for all the hangers-on after all their Birthdays and Christmas's came at once ? Money being no object because it wasn't theirs ! Money that had belonged to a hard-working man who'd built-up his business through sheer hard graft.
I just think it's disgraceful that all anyone thought about was the money and nothing else. They all had their noses in the trough.
Neville would definitely turn in his grave at this outcome,but somehow I get the feeling that it wouldn't have surprised him either,as there was little love lost between the families.
