Have they asked him to provide the clothing he was seen going out with on cctv ?
I know right?

so warm enough for pier jumping why not just wear swim shorts n tea shirt ? his clothes fell in and what …. got swept away by a tidal wave ? why not just jump back in and get them ?
Obviously mental health issues re Katie.I feel the same. Every day I ask the same question; why? and i always feel like asking it here but no one knows. And we'll never know. Only that boy knows why he did this unspeakable act. And he'll keep that to the grave because he won't admit it to himself what he did. He's getting enjoyment out of this trial. He's going to rot in jail for a long time (I hope), but he'll keep himself entertained because the enjoyment he got out of the crime but also out of the enjoyment he gets out of the trial.
I do wonder if something truamatising happened this boy in childhood to result in this. Some sleuthers eluded to some info that only islanders know that maybe might answer some questions as to reasons he did this? i don't know. I remember in the Katie Rough case, there was no trial if i remember correctly but once found guilty a lot came out about the accused who cannot be named. it alluded to a traumatising childhood experience which might have explained her actions but no further details were given. I'm really curious about the details that will emerge tommorrow upon a (hopefully) guilty verdict.

Although I think hes likely guilty I dont find the evidence damning..presumably the jury will have a much better feel of it than us and will have heard more evidence..and of course any locals with prior knowledge may well be tearing their hair out reading posts like this
To me the only thing damning is his DNA at her wrists and face and neck...everything else ...albeit far fetched at times has been explained away.
The witness saying her dad and T were up outside " arguing" the night she went missing is quite a catch for the defence as the other witnesses placing them as "liars"
Katie Rough did go to trial, but she was 15 and after being assessed for 12 weeks she was diagnosed as schizophrenic. Due to age, mental state and other factors there was pretty much a media blackout.I feel the same. Every day I ask the same question; why? and i always feel like asking it here but no one knows. And we'll never know. Only that boy knows why he did this unspeakable act. And he'll keep that to the grave because he won't admit it to himself what he did. He's getting enjoyment out of this trial.

I'm sure there is a lot more we have not heard so hopefully the right verdict will be done.Does it matter that they have nothing else asides from the DNA evidence? The defence don’t have anything to prove concretely that the DNA evidence was planted or that the accused couldn’t have killed Alesha so what more do they need?
Look at all these cases in America right now that are being solved from decades ago, so long as the criminal’s DNA matched and they lived roughly in the area. Are they just going to let the East Area Rapist suspect Joe De’Angelo free because all they have is that supposedly easy to plant DNA evidence?
No, it was the close neighbour, who had recently lost her husband, who heard the things that disturbed her enough to say something to R's parents, who dismissed her concerns, as mentioned previously.So she saw them fighting that night and heard her getting beat up for 3 months but didn’t know until
Alesha went missing that was the girlfriend but could ID her before she knew who she. Was. Am I reading this correct ?
And this is the same joggers his friend testified he was wearing the night of the party days later
Didnt he say he tried, but he wasn't quick enough![]()
The summing up and then the jury deliberations first.Connor GilliesVerified account @ConnorGillies 2h2 hours ago
Trial adjourned until tomorrow when Lord Matthews will direct the jury and send the men and women out to consider their verdict.
does this mean the verdict will be announced late tomorrow afternoon? or Friday?
If it wasn’t spoke about or brought up, it’s because it wouldn’t have helped the prosecution.Yup These are the small details that could hang a person.. Photos from the party as all young ones are pic happy, wearing said lost clothes I wonder If it was spoke about or if we;re thinking it why isn't the prosecution?
Yeah and if he had went to the effort to take a towel, he would take his swim shorts. I’d love to be a prosecutor for the day and just hurl this kinda stuff at him. Honestly I wonder what he’d say? Absolutely nothing. Probably scrunch his nose up again
The not proven option here in Scotland allows the defence to plant seeds of doubt in jurys mind and makes the verdict not black or white . IMO It's a cop out for the jury , let's them not make a decision . Many victims over the years have been denied justice because of this 3rd verdict that exists here in Scotland. Families have campaigned over the years to get this verdict removed from Scotish law , however they have been unsuccessful . One such case , local to me , was the Amanda Duffy case , early 90S , although compelling physical evidence against the accused the jury sought not proven . Awful murder haunts me stillI think he's guilty for sure, but I think they might come back with not proven. That defense guy gave a good closing speech, tbh I don't know how he will sleep after trying so hard to throw doubt in the jury's mind I know it's his job to defend the accused but it seems he tried alot harder than the prosecution.

Can someone advise me, if this is not proven -
Cannot be tried again for the charge against the accused. Shocking this verdict still exists here in Scotland
I'm sure there is a lot more we have not heard so hopefully the right verdict will be done.
Though in theory the defence does not have to prove anything .. that is a "given" it's down to the prosecution to prove otherwise
