Just a couple of thoughts that stand out to me.
1. Who lives at the property now? Hopefully none of the deceased's family because the campaign website lists the actual full address of the property....not sure why.
2. What are the main grounds of appeal? (Can post a link not asking it to be typed out)
3. If the police had a 'better suspect' why did they choose to ignore to build a case against an innocent man? Was Duane known to the police at all for any previous offences?
I did ask this Mat. It does seem that Duane was into whaccy baccy, or knew some contacts. Of course this does make him a killer.
At the moment we only have the comments of Paris, and her admission she knows little of the case, apart from her the fact she attended the trial every day.
It would be really helpful if we could see the court transcript of the case.
On what has been posted so far it does smack of a bad investigation by the police, as is the norm in these cases.
I don't at the moment compare it to the Simon Hall case where no forensic evidence was found, but take on board that Duane was living at the address of Mr Williams, so dna was more than likely to be found.
I would ask Paris, but I don't want my head bitten off again, as she seems to have taken an instant dislike of me.
The other thing is it would have been easier to put suspect A into the frame as it was he that hid a knife under a paving slab.
What troubles me if Duane committed the murder why would he run his mouth off to all and sundry when he could have just kept his gob shut.
The other thing is all the murder weapons were recovered from the scene, so someone knew they were there including Duane, and various other people.
Then there is motive! What was the reason that Duane had to kill Williams?
It seems he was not a popular man, and had enemies. If he had Duane living at his home then it follows that he was happy with him and his girlfriend living in his house, but had trouble with all the other candidates in question.
Some of the things that Paris said do not ring true. ie that two of them had been mates for years, yet one was from London, and the other was from Kings Lynn, so how did they link up?
I am under no illusion that the police fabricate thing, it has been going on since John Peel.
