@SkyFixerJim:

A sample of Tia's blood was found on the inside of the belt which Mr Beaumont suggests means the belt was not being worn at time of contact.


@RachelCroydonAd:

Tia's dna found in blood sample found on belt Hazell had in bag when arrested, expert says #tiasharp

Tia dna also found in second blood sample on the belt. One in a billion chance it is someone else's, expert says #tiasharp

Cross examination: expert agrees possible that swab picks up dna from around blood sample #tiasharp

Dna previously deposited, that should have said #tiasharp

Expert confirms sweat and saliva can also provide DNA profile #tiasharp
 
What a weak, pathetic excuse of a man! Absolute coward. I think he'll try and kill himself after he gets sentenced.

The man accused of murdering Tia Sharp wrote to his father that he had made "one mistake" and his "whole world collapsed", his trial has heard.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-22482782

ONE mistake? How about:
  1. He took secret photos and videos of her
  2. He sexually assaulted her
  3. He murdered her
  4. He undressed her
  5. He posed her body in some sick pornographic position after he killed her
  6. He took a photo of her dead body
  7. He lied to police
  8. He lied to Tia's family
  9. He tried to frame the neighbours


There are probably more than this, but it's a hell of a lot more than 'one' mistake... unless of course he really meant that the 'one' mistake he made was in not moving her body before it was found.

I can't even begin to imagine what that poor frightened little girl went through in the final hours of her life, at the hands of a perverted drunk, someone she apparently 'idolised'. I just hope her death was quick and she didn't suffer as much as I think she did. May Hazell rot in prison and be passed round to other perverts so they can have their wicked way with him until he can't walk. Then he should be hanged. If ever there was a time for capital punishment, this is it.

HIS whole world collapsed?? HIS fault, HIS actions - no one elses.

You mean you've never tripped and fallen and done all those things? So easily done! :rolleyes:
 
I hope this disgusting creature doesn't have a chance to commit suicide. He deserves every horrible thing that will happen to him in prison. May he live a long, miserable life behind bars.

I was expecting it to last longer that that. But then what can the defence offer? Precious little is my guess.

There's just no defence. Even if they got their own medical experts to dispute the findings of the post mortem, ie; no broken neck and no injuries to support a fall down the stairs - how would they explain why her clothes were taken off? Or the photo of her on the bed taken after her death? Or the semen? And the blood? I don't think the amount of blood that was found on the sheets would equal what would be found from a fall down stairs. Hazell never said she banged her head and bled, just that she'd broken her neck. This is one of those cases that can't be defended, in my opinion.
 
His defence is that the blood and semen were put on the bed clothes at different times... There is no link between death and the assault.

Not following you here, sorry. Do you mean his defence will still be that she fell down the stairs in an accident but that he sexually assaulted her afterwards? If there's no evidence to show she died from a fall, how can that be his defence?
 
The evidence being presented in this case is unimaginably horrible and disturbing. RIP Tia.

Do you mean that he will say that the semen and blood are non related?
 
reasonable doubt...He could say he pleasured himself in Tias' room when she was not present..
blood and sex toy.. he could say. she must of been experimenting, nothing to do with him.

#tiasharp Prosecution resumes in trial of Stuart Hazell who denies murder of step-granddaughter Tia Sharp,12.
 
@SkyFixerJim:

#tia trial delayed til 1100.

BREAKING. Stuart Hazell pleads GUILTY to the murder of Tia Sharp.

Hazell's lawyer said his client made the decision to change his plea to spare Tia's family further suffering.

The jury have been asked to formally find him guilty. The Forman stands and does this. #tiasharp

There were gasps and cries from Tia's family in the public gallery when Stuart answered "guilty" to the court clerk's question.

There was a short pause between the "how do you plead" and the answer of "guilty" as if Hazell were finally making his mind up.

The sentencing process will begin at 1200.
 
Oh please! He didn't plead guilty to save their suffering. He knew he didn't have a leg to stand on and probably hopes this will get him a reduced sentence. IMO.
