Levi Bellfield and the Russell murders

[Alan Harper's Tash]

Not saying we haven’t but be a tough choice for any sane person to either do 20 odd years banged up with lunatics or to take the death penalty was my point. There will always be fuck ups which ever way ‘justice’ is served.

Absolutely. At least part of the wrong can be corrected this way.

This guy doesn’t sound like a great person though.

It split the area in opinions i can tell you , hopefully dna has moved on and she can eventually get justice , i thought it was him who did it at the time , there is a doco this week looking at the story , sure there is a lot i have forgotten

The blood spray as she died and took her last breath was the key if I remember correctly.
It was certainly an odd one. Personally, I remember thinking the foster father did it, but as you say maybe forensics have moved on.

well to be fair thats nowhere near proven yet but the indicators are they could have been - the problem is they decide based on the evidence and this could be another case of the Police fitting someone up for a crime

Colin Stagg and Barry George like this post.
I would recommend a great book by famous Defence Lawyer Michael Mansfield called “Memoirs of a Radical Lawyer “
