Hi, WW. The info regarding MBB's girlfriend cutting Judith's hair in 2003, after the murder, is from Sandra Lean herself in her book 'Innocents Betrayed' (specifically, pages 118-119 from said book).
"Not everything you read in the media or the internet is true."
I suggest you heed your own advice!
Not everything that comes from SL is 100% accurate is it? Usually people in here slag her off along with anyone who dares to suggest there may have been a Miscarriage of Justice and call her derogatory names. I think you also have criticised her although not with derogatory names to be fair to you, unlike some people in here. This part about who knew who is never going to be proven one way or the other.
I was having another look at the witness evidence of sightings:
AB doesn't see the youth's face and doesn't notice the huge orange logo on the back of the girl's jacket.
Fle and Wal - their evidence was absolutely nonsensical, claiming they saw LM in the Press on a date no pictures of him had been in the Press, and also one saying she only saw the youth from her car's rear view mirror.
Carol H said she saw a youth at the gate that looked similar to LM but admitted she was driving fast and hadn't been sticking to speed limits on her way home from Edinburgh.
M'O'S and her husband see a youth in a green jacket standing in a lane next to her husband's father's house. They said it was definitely not LM. He was older and much taller than LM. They slowed the car down and looked straight at him. They were the only witnesses who got more than a glimpse of this person, if all witnesses saw the same person. So there are no clear sightings of this person in a green jacket except the M'O'S one and she and her husband said for certain it was not LM. Logic and probability says that this person in the green jacket was almost certainly the same person other people saw. Human recall is known to be extremely poor which is why all of these accounts are different. The descriptions are literally all over the place. So much so that it points to them seeing at least 2-3 different people, but we know the chances of there being 2 people seen wearing a similar green jacket or shirt within an hour are remote, so it surely was the same person despite all the different descriptions.
The biggest thing against LM is the lack of alibi. All this stuff dragged out about whether he was in or not and Shane not knowing if he was in or not. It wasn't a huge house. Someone would know if another person was in or not. So on that basis, I don't think LM was in that house at 5.15pm. Despite that I still don't think it was him that carried out the murder.
