Thank you Judge. Deserves a holiday after all of that.
Happened so quickly at the end there. Guilty - off you go then.

So glad for Lynette's family - was a bit worried for a while there that it was going to be devastating news.

 

[insanity]

OMFG I am crying tears of joy and sadness for Lyn, her daughters, family and friends. Guilty - f you Chris Dawson may you rot in jail!

Just read Lyn’s family were a metre away from Chris Dawson in court as he learnt his fate, they are clutching each other’s hands & gasped as he was led away. They never thought this day would come but their 40 year old suspicions have been confirmed.

 

[they'll get you]

Porridge for you murderer.

 

[they'll get you]

I am exhausted just watching the Judge.
YIPPEE.

He’s a hero.

Such a huge thank you to Hedley Thomas, Craig Everyone SC and Justice Ian Harrison.

And this is where Dawson's insistence on a judge only trial plays heavily against him, in the matter of Appeal. He is entitled to appeal, but one reason it took so long was, the judge didn't skip a detail, and there was no showboating of Defence or Prosecution barristers shoving a few spokes in the wheel, nor the intricate convolutions of a jurors mind.

It was a gamble he and his brothers took, but they had no say in which judge it would be, a huge huge gamble, which, did not pay off, despite the entire case, from start to finish was totally circumstantial.

Long time coming: all those years of freedom.
Now the old man will suffer +++

Dawson immediately taken into custody.

Why would he get bail?

 

[Cagney&Lacey]

Justice finally for Lyn and her family. Rot in jail Chris. I can’t imagine how her daughters are feeling. I hope in some way this helps Lyn’s family without having knowledge of where she lays. We have all at Websleuths been with you throughout this journey. Let’s just remember the beautiful woman you were Lynette Dawson and what a beautiful mother, daughter, Aunt and sister you were. You are missed

I hope he's on suicide watch!
