It's a jury I could never have sat on - I've strongly assumed his guilt all these years. I remember reading all about it at the time. Impossible to find all those reports now though cos it's been sub judice twice. Maybe the Record or Sun will dig it all out again.

I'll be interested to see if the police ever release additional info. As I understand it, just finding Louise's body wouldn't have been enough to re-try him.
