Cheryl hasn't been seen since 1970, now the man accused of killing her has had his charges dropped
Justice Hulme ruled the key piece of evidence, the accused's police interview from April 1971, was inadmissible because there was no parent, adult or lawyer accompanying the then 17-year-old.
While he said this was not compulsory at the time, it was still "desirable".
IMO unfair they base the judgement on current standards, and this guy walks.
