Couldbe, I think they have plenty of evidence for the committal and for the purposes of convincing a magistrate to commit him for trial on just the stuff we know such as the face scratches, the lies and inconsistencies, the activity on his phone when he said he was asleep and the insurance issues together with their extreme financial stress. Whether they have enough for a trial to prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt remains to be seen.
Edit. Oops forgot to mention Allisons blood in the car and likely her hair stuck in that blood, the screams heard by the neighbours and the 6 species of plants found on her that are also found on their back patio. Yes indeed, lots of evidence which when looked at as a whole is pretty compelling.
Pondering the idea that Scraps's "evidence" may have contributed to the bringing down of GBC, it made me want to look at how much bad luck or bad management went into this murder, and how close he might have come to pulling it off.
Unpreventable evidence as found-
Allisons sreams
The fingernail scratches on GBC
Scraps' barking
Allisons body being found
Preventable evidence-
Flora on Allison
Inconsistencies when giving his version of her walking route
Notable absence from search efforts
Unwilling to provide a formal statement
VERY early employment of a legal team
Phonecalls before and after murder/death to Insurance companies- all of them
Operating a alias email account to lover, telling her he had to lay low for a while
Refusal by parents to provide a statement (doesn't look good)
Allisons blood and hair??? in car
Incriminating internet searches
Phone activity when he was meant to be asleep
?? sighting at roundabout of one or both or some cars.
Notably lacking in this evidence is a cause of death, and any evidence placing GBC at Kholo Creek.
He very nearly could have pulled off this murder had it not been for his other activities at the time of her disapperance and discovery.
Had it not been for the few "unpreventable/unplanned things that provided clues to what had occurred, and if he'd had a slightly more credible story for police, such as the one suggested on here the other day about her walking at night and not returning, (that was a very clever too by the way) ,alarm bells may not have gone off at all, and he may have pulled this off if he had taken his own advice and really laid low for a good while.
Oh, and acting like he was upset might have helped too!!!!! lol
Just thoughts again, all for what its worth. :twocents:
Oh, and go Allison and Scraps!!!!!!!!! We're cheerin" you.
