He's done 18 months all told, I believe, so this time next year he'll be up for a review. His problem, apart from being the man in the frame, is that this 'review' will be compromised in regard to options, as they're having to keep him under 'non on normal communal exercise' status due to HCW's public proclamations making him a target inside.
It won't get that far, as they're certainly going to charge him with something. But despite how it may impinge on peoples' sensitivities, a decent human rights lawyer could argue that he's been unfairly dealt with and due process has been compromised.
I still can't find any other instances of people being declared guilty by prosecutors or police.
Literally John Canaan & Brueckner are the only two I can think of....
(there may be more, perhaps a resident google expert can help)
...& in the Canaan case, supposing by some miracle they
do find Suzy's body (there isn't much evidence of her death without it, other than her being missing) the MET have jeopardised future conviction of him imo,
so far from helping Suzy's case, they might have made it worse.
Supposing Brueckner didn't murder Maddie & never gets tried.
Who's going to bother looking for her when Wolters has been so absolute in his determination.
..and when Maddie's real killer is in the dock, the defence can just call Wolters to give concrete evidence they didn't do it.
