Tell me Nine - was there DNA evidence against this person? Was there disgusting internet searches? Was the victims blood in the boot of his car? Was his coat fibre's all over the victim? Take the confession away, there is still ample to convict - remember Tabak was charged before he confessed, there was ample evidence to go to trial with or without his confession!
Only enhanced DNA----you would think that a murderer who had inflicted 43 injuries, would have left a full DNA profile. Enhanced DNA, where the sample was used up in the enhancing process, and the defence could not verify it.
Did the defence verify the internet searches? BTW, you should see mine!! And, I have never murdered anyone, nor have I ever been in any trouble with the police.
Coat fibres could belong to anyone with a similar coat----you know that from Luke's case.
I prefer good, solid evidence----I would believe VT was guilty, had they found his mobile phone or his debit card at the scene of the crime, for instance, or lots of fingerprints on that front door, or his DNA on Joanna's bedding.
