I suppose this case is new for many (it is hardly 'unsolved') and thus 'fun' to exercise one's brain. Clearly, Burke killed her, not intentionally (one might suppose), but nevertheless it happened. If fits everything we know, which is too numerous to recount, and should not be needed on this forum.
People can dicker over whether or not an injustice was done. What good would it do to incriminate a 9-year-old boy? John and Patsy felt it would scar his record, who wouldn't think so. What they could not foresee was the hype their situation would get in the media, which proved to be more devastating for them all than had they, at the start, admitted to what had occurred. So, for those who say 'justice' was not served, I say it has been more than served.
