This is complete and utter nonsense and could only be suggested by someone with no experience of the judicial system. As I clearly stated the issue is not the debate over evidence which we are not qualified to judge but rather the operation of the judicial system. I am amazed that so many seem...

Still avoiding the questions and points I posed, but unlike you I will answer the question. When multiple key strands of evidence which led to a prosecution are called into question by qualified sources it is usual to send the case to the Court of Appeal. The failure to do so in this case (or at...

This seems to be the most obvious attempt to avoid the issue, which is the conduct of the system rather than debating the details of the case. I have read your various comments and you seem perfectly happy to offer opinions on the validity of specific points of evidence despite your assertion...

It seems that some wish to avoid the issue, which is not guilt or innocence (which we are not able to judge) but the operation of the English judicial system. I posed a series of questions at #2995 on page 150 of this thread, questions which have been completely ignored by those who wish to set...

At my school (in the early 70s in Birmingham (UK) it was quite common to advance a year, but we were a direct grant academic school and those advanced were usually doing O/A levels early to free their last year for Oxbridge entrance.

I have tried to avoid getting sucked into commenting too often on this thread as I appreciate that some have decided to ignore the facts and the way in which English law and the courts operate but it is time to pose some questions. A failure to deal with them will expose motive. it is usual for...

Complete rubbish. Just to state three key pieces of evidence refuted by those with the expertise to do so; the statistical analysis refuted by the author of the guidelines of the Royal Statistical Society. the use of the paper of Dr Shoo Lee cited by the prosecution, refuted by Dr Shoo Lee...

Roy Meadow is not and never has been a statistician. His sole training is in medicine. A trained statistician would have qualified any evidence by being clear that the numbers he quoted rested upon the assumption that the events (baby deaths) were independent. This is not rocket science and any...

In the Roy Meadow's case statistics was not a complex science. I would have expected a school pupil doing maths to understand the difference between independent and dependent events.

I find it bizarre that anyone should dispute that a conviction is unsafe when so many of the witnesses and evidence has been refuted or undermined. I appreciate that some have a belief in the infallibility of court proceedings which is on a par with religious belief but that is not how the...

Gill is accepted by the most competent body to judge, The Royal Statistical Society, as the world authority on this area of statistics. That is why his opinion is more important than anyone who lacks either statistical expertise or the specific knowledge of this use of statistics. And he does...

He appears to have married in 1972 and a divorce was granted in 1976 after his disappearance. This is from marriage and divorce records on Ancestry with his full name in the marriage record. The divorce also specifies that there was a child of the marriage. I do wonder from the limited coverage...

The recent debate in this thread about statistics is irrelevant. The issue is that the world expert in the use of statistics in such cases, Professor Richard Gill, has condemned the statistical analysis which was presented (condemned being a mild version of his opinion in this case). And he...

Mark McDonald is perhaps the leading barrister specialising in cases of possible wrongful criminal convictions so it is not surprising that he handles these cases. If anything the Letby case smells even more than this one.

The Jimmy Fratianno version is that they were killed together; Ogul being the primary target as part of the mob war going on and Spangler just collateral damage as she was with him at the time.
