OK... I'm an idiot...........
I don’t understand why you wanted the Yeates to take the stand Nine, what benefit would that have been?
The Computer evidence wasn’t allowed in the trial for reasons, the Judge ruled against them on the grounds that,
But at the start of the trial Mr Justice Field ruled the evidence inadmissible, saying: "In my judgment the watching and the possession of porn showing violence and the threat of violence is reprehensible conduct. But the fact there could be a sexual motive does not explain why Tabak intended to kill or cause serious injury. In my judgment a fair trial would be put seriously at risk if it was to be admitted."
This has nothing to do with police, the police gather the evidence and then it’s between the defence, prosecution and Judge to what evidence is allowed. The prosecution will try and get as much evidence as possible admissible at trial, while the defence will try and throw out as much as possible, anything that could put the trial in jeopardy of being a fair trial will be ruled out by the Judge, it limits the grounds for any appeal after on the grounds of unfair trial.
There is no doubt whatsoever Tabak had high quality titles of sex and submission porn depicting violence towards women with their tops raised and violent images of women being held by the neck, then being sexually abused,". As well as child porn ect. They know this because they were found not only on his Laptop, his works computer and two hard drives at home. Now I’m no computer expert, But, Caroline is, how hard would it be for someone to plant this evidence on all these devices, at the correct times and some of these videos way before the murder actually happened, I would say it’s virtully impossible to do this by anyone other than Tabak himself? It wouldn’t just be on his devices, it would show up on the internet provider as well, the police wouldn’t need to go down this road because the evidence was there. Because the prosecution could not use the Child porn at his trial, they decided to charge him separately for that, it was in the public’s interest, it serves as a deterrent, no one is above the law on viewing child porn images even if your locked up for twenty years, the fact he is a convicted sex offender means he will be monitored.
Evidence not disclosed to the jury revealed that:
A film on his laptop showed a woman saying "choke me".
Another featured a victim dressed in a pink top and jeans,just like 25-year-old Miss Yeates was wearing when she died.
The laptop held three images of a woman with a striking resemblance to Miss Yeates with her top pushed up - as her body was when it was discovered.
In another echo of the murder, a computer image showed two naked women bound and gagged in the boot of a man's car.
Tabak's DNA was found on Miss Yeates's breasts, chest and arm.
Her parents David and Teresa Yeates were too traumatised to Attend, would you want to be at trial and view images of your dead daughter?
