Are they relevant to the time period involving Sami’s disappearance and subsequent murder ?
Hi Nicholas, they stretch over a period of about 10 years prior to Sami's death, and demonstrate the patterns of behaviour we have been discussing in relation to the kind of things Sami was involved in. This is relevant to our exploration of alternative suspects. You're right to a certain degree, but even if a particular event is not directly related to his death, we feel it is evidence of the
kind of activity that may have led to it in the end. In other words, something similar happened which went awfully wrong.
I take it you understand the fact that a prosecution case is a theory?
Sure, we're with you there, this is exactly our argument! We have always said that the prosecution case was wrong about the date of death being 5 September. If Sami didn't die on this date then Mark was convicted on the wrong basis. The jury were given the wrong information to deliberate on and the conviction must be quashed.
