Vincent Tabak and the Murder of Joanna Yeates

I , too, have wondered why his family have not made any fuss about his conviction. Do they believe him guilty, or have they been told to keep quiet, in order not to reduce his chances of being able to serve out part of his sentence in Holland?
I also find it strange that nobody has written a book about this case: normally, somebody does, after such a high profile case.
Of course, I might be wrong, and he is guilty. It is just that this case "niggles" me, whereas many murder cases don't.
Thanks for commenting, anyway. I am hoping that other people on this forum will.
As for Jefferies, I strongly suspect that , somehow, he would have been "found guilty" had they not arrested Tabak, not just because he "looked weird", but because he had keys to all the flats. The media (and people on forums) were very damning of him at the time---falsely, of course.

DNA is often amplified and it wouldn't be strong enough evidence on its own to get a case to court whether amplified or not. Its not as strong as fingerprint evidence. A DNA profile can be shared by others, although statistically rare. Fingerprints are unique and not even shared by identical twins.
I don't believe the DPP would ever have been in a postion to bring about a case against CJ for the simple reason he is completely innocent of any involvement whatsoever.
VT and his family have kept a dignified silence as all concerned know he's guilty.
I've no idea why this case would "niggle" anyone as I can't see there's any doubt at all VT is guilty.
I'm not sure there's much to write about? As far as I can see it's just a sad case where a man allowed himself to become corrupted and consumed by violent porn to the point where it caused him to act out of character in the real world. His victim was a very decent young woman with her whole life ahead of her who it could be said 'was in the wrong place at the wrong time' albeit she was in her own home planning on spending a leisurely evening alone.
If you're interested in potential miscarriages of justice why not spend your time looking at cases where there's real doubt?

Hi Holly
Well, I cant help my niggles and doubts now, can I??
I remember (I'm probably a lot older than you!) a time when anyone who thought the Guildford Four and Birmingham Six might be innocent, were considered absolutely nuts!! And, yet----------
Of course Chris Jefferies, although totally innocent, could have been stitched up and convicted! If that kind of thing never happened, there would be no miscarriages of justice at all.
So, which cases, where there is real doubt, do you think I ought to be looking at ?
Was just hoping that somebody could help me with the questions that I asked in my first post.

Hi mrs w , welcome
There is a website dedicated to his innocence, just google tabak is innocent
There is some interesting info in there which didnt make the uk news
But
apart from pleading guilty his long list of actions before being caught are very incriminatory
I think youre probably onto a loser here
And if he was innocent wouldnt he have alledged confession after duress?

Thanks for the links folks! I am familiar with them, good to see some other people are.
Yes, of course I might be "onto a loser" and don't mind if I am: the consequences of people like me being "onto a winner" in this case would mean that Joanna's killer is still free to kill again, and that an innocent man is serving a life sentence.
Here is the link to Sally Ramage's account of the trial. She does NOT say Tabak is innocent, but what she does say is very interesting all the same. She is a lawyer, who was present at the trial.
