What ever happened to the crucial new evidence that was handed in???

Did it simply disappear??

https://www.thesun.co.uk/archives/news/300493/jo-crucial-clue-found/

Was this the console...

They had found a shard of console at Jo yeates flat, that was mentioned in court, but was never brought to the public's attention??

I was watching the Crime Watch Documentary Part 2 and there is great inconsistencies  with what happened:

At 3:13-
Quote
Tabak's statement was a smokescreen. The landlord was entirely innocent..When police checked Jefferies DNA against the sample found on Jo's body, there was no match... he was freed without charge

CJ was freed 2nd Jan 2011 ..... This is 8 days after Jo, is found, on 28 th Dec 2010 a post mortem was carried out...

leaving 5 days available to do the tests on the DNA sample...

At 4:00 on the video it says :
Quote
Then shortly before the reconstruction was due to air, they made a dramatic breakthrough... Forensic Scientists had spent weeks enhancing the tiny DNA sample found on Jo's body.. Enabling them to establish a link to Vincent Tabak.. The Detectives suspisions were being confirmed

Now how did it free CJ in a matter of days, but it suddenly takes weeks for Dr Vincent Tabak....
Surely it's the same sample...



So was it weeks or Days???  (The DNA was partial and was no use anyway...)


More examples of things that do NOT add up in this case...

Again from Crime watch Part 2 : DI Joe Goff:

Quote
those screams were of particular interest because it helped us to time, when the acctual incident had happened within Flat 1 which resulted in Joanna's death

Now the screams heard by neighbours were put down to a number of things, one being possibly party revellers:

Quote
The jury, judge, journalists and police visited Percival Court- a property overlooking Flat
1 and adjacent to the rear of Miss Yeates' flat because witnesses claimed to have heard
screams that night- one witness standing at 53 Canynge Road and the other from Percival
Court opposite the property of 44 Canynge Road.


This is behind the flat of Jo' yeates.... This was on the friday... but as i've said before that a guy called Kingdom ( i've posted quotes from Kingdom) who also lived behind heard screams for help on the Saturday morning, but was not called as a witness...

Quote
The couple arriving outside number 53, a short time after they were filmed on CCTV at
number 83.
But the weather conditions were icy. How long did it take them to get there?
Warren Sweet said he did not arrive at Number 53’s party until 8.50pm on Friday 17
December 2010.
 When he arrived at No. 53, Warren Sweet said he heard a scream. That cannot be the
same scream that the couple heard.
 The reaction of all four people who heard screams was initially put down to students out
celebrating as term had finished that day.
You may think that the whole of those screams is totally unconnected.
You just couldn’t hear anybody from that distance.

So it was the screams that could be anything that the police used to determine when Joanna Yeates died:

The Foresnsics couldn't give an exact time of death...
Quote
The clerk then read out the murder charge, which is alleged to have taken place between December 16 and December 26.

http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/jo-yeates-vincent-tabak-in-court-174288

If they don't know when she died how can they say when it happened and that the screams were definetaly hers???

mrswah... this is something I haven't heard before???


http://swns.com/news/vincent-tabak-moved-prison-over-attack-fears-14290/

Quote
Paul Cook, defending the Dutch academic, confirmed his client did not wish to make an application for bail. He was remanded in custody and will appear in a preliminary hearing on Monday January 31.

And then......
Quote
Jo Yeates murder suspect Vincent Tabak has been been moved to a different prison over fears he may be attacked by fellow inmates.


A source told The Sun: “It was decided to move him for his own good. There are a lot of local people in Bristol Prison and he could have been at risk because feelings locally are running high.”




Well..... the suprising news is that he didn't want bail...

I'm thinking..... oh please please , mister policeman, send me to Gloucester prison instead and then move me again the next day to Long Lartin, where I can really feel safe.....!!!!!!!


Is someone having a Giraffe????

Why on earth, would he not want "Bail", and be with his family and friends, and be able to sort out a proper defence...

This is ridiculous.... I'm sure if someone ask Dr Vincent Tabak about Bail he would say YES.. I want out of prison...

WHO WOULD WANT TO STAY........ shall we have a  poll????

I think far too much was made of the screams in court.

It was Christmas party time, when people muck around and make a noise-----the screams may well have had absolutely nothing to do with Joanna's murder.

Yes, I have read what "Kingdom" says-----he thinks it was Saturday morning (daytime, not the early hours).  We don't know whether or not the screams he heard were connected with Joanna either.  Interesting that he was not called as a witness, but then, of course his testimony did not fit in with Jo being killed on the Friday evening.

It is almost as if they had to fill the trial time with something, as they did not have enough actual evidence.

Can't understand why the police spent so much time looking for the pizza either.  The most obvious explanation is that Jo ate it and died later than we think.  Perhaps Kingdom was right???  The forensic person said her last meal was her lunch-----who knows if this is really true or not?  It is somewhat suspicious that Jo's stomach contents were sent to Scotland to be examined:  isn't there anyone more local to Bristol who could have done that?

As for the piece of "crucial evidence" found at the scene, we were never told what it was. 

Had it been something belonging to VT,  we might be more inclined to believe in his guilt, might we not, particularly if it was, for example, his bank card, or something like a pen that TM could have identified as being his. 

 But, if they don't say, then we dont know!

DNA..... much was made about Dr Vincent Tabak's dna being on Joanna Yeates,

Quote
Tiny samples of DNA from a single cell are more prone to
errors in analysis and can also be easily transferred to a crime scene, even if an
individual was not present.

Does this apply to the microscopic blood sample that was supposedly found in Dr Vincent Tabak's car??

Quote
s. A mixture can be interpretated in many
ways since there is no clear way to tell which part of the profile comes from which
individual: this means that mixed DNA profiles are open to interpretation, particularly if a
forensic laboratory is biased by trying to find a match with a particular suspect.

So. It's not safe then????


Quote
Familial searching is a process by which investigators look for partial matches between
crime scene DNA profiles and the DNA profiles of individuals stored on a DNA database.
This can be used to identify a relative of the suspect

Ah.... you need one of Dr. Vincent Tabak's relatives to confirm this.....

Quote
Familial searching leads to a long list of partial matches which must be shortened by
additional DNA testing and/or other policework.

Shortened and relatives used to get a match......

Quote
False matches between an individual’s profile and a crime scene DNA profile can occur
by chance, or due to poor laboratory procedures, and the implications of someone’s
DNA being at a crime scene can also be misinterpreted.

The labrotory that performed the DNA match, has had many errors.....

https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/forensic-science-regulators-report-on-the-dna-contamination-case-at-lgc-forensics

Quote
The misuse of the plastic trays during another batch was spotted by LGC staff
on 11 October 2011 and procedures changed to prevent the error happening
again. However, the incident report was not sufficiently escalated and an
opportunity was missed to check back and identify the same issue a few days
earlier. The re-use of the trays was the result of human error by an unidentified
laboratory technician failing to follow the LGC operating procedures.

So did LGC Forensic's use the same tray when they tested Dr Vincent Tabak's  DNA and Joanna Yeates DNA????
Quote
The error that led to the contamination has occurred on at least two occasions,
one identified on 12 October 2011 and again in this case. However, checks
against approximately 26,000 samples and the results of their DNA profiling
results have identified no further cases of contamination across or between
unrelated cases processed from 1 March to 12 October 2011

What about before....



Quote
A key issue is whether prosecution requires corroborating evidence, or whether a person
can be convicted on the basis of DNA evidence alone. The process of explaining DNA
evidence to the court is also crucial: the value of DNA evidence can easily be overstated
by using misleading statistics, particularly when the crime scene DNA profile is not
complete. Expert forensic witnesses must not be under pressure to misrepresent
evidence in cases where the interpretation may be in doubt (for example, when a mixed
DNA profile is involved).

Did this get explained fully??

http://www.genewatch.org/uploads/f03c6d66a9b354535738483c1c3d49e4/infopack_fin.pdf

Nevertheless ... partial DNA cannot identify a suspect...
And LGC Forensics, have made many errors ...

So was the DNA Dr Vincent Tabak's at the crime scene? And was the microscopic blood sample Jo's??
And was the DNA safe!!
Quote
Mr Adam Scott was the innocent victim of avoidable contamination from an
unrelated case that did contain his DNA.
11.2 The contamination was the result of human error by a technician who failed to
follow basic procedures for the disposal of plastic trays used as part of a
validated DNA extraction process.

Oops... one of their victims....

Where was Joanna Yeates found????

I say this because things are confusing, and I think it's relevant in the case against Dr Vincent Tabak..

Quote
The police may also erect tents or tarpaulins to minimise the view of a crime scene to both press and public and also so that a police doctor or pathologist can carry out a cursory examination of a corpse before it is moved for autopsy. It is necessary that a corpse is examined at its current location so that no claims of bruising or post mortem injury can be made.

http://www.exploreforensics.co.uk/establishing-a-crime-scene.html

Yes.. the scene of crime should be protected...


So, that established, Joanna Yeates should be inside the tent....

Joanna Yeates body. is nearer to the entrance of the quarry than the verge where the wall is....

With the pictures I have attached you can clearly see that the body was no where near a wall.... I do not understand why they would change the location of where someone is found... And......

Quote
Forensic officers used a broom handle to help recover her frozen body from a country lane on Christmas Day, the court heard.

http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/joanna-yeates-killer-cries-in-dock-274852

So..... which one was it...... The 8 fire brigade appliances they had attend the scene.. or a broom handle????


There is more twists and turns in this case, than anything...

She is defineatley located closer to the entrance of the quarry, she is not up close to a verge and a wall.., the forensic tent would not have been erected to the side.. it would have been in the middle of the road and you would have been able to see it looking straight up Longwood lane, but it's definetly to the left and the curb curves, suggesting an entrance...


So how did her blood end up on a wall???? the walls look some distance away.... Did Dr Vincent Tabak, carry her up and down Longwood lane, using more time??

But no wait.................

Quote
Officers avoided putting a tent over her body amid fears that evidence could be compromised, the jury heard.

So they told the Jury they didn't use a tent!!!!!

OMG.... I can see it... hello Forensic Tent in picture..... what did they use it for????

Ah.... Brew Tent!!! of course, has to be... it must be in the forensic handbook... erect a tent for a brew!!!!

http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/joanna-yeates-killer-cries-in-dock-274852

So they are saying that they didn't follow protocol , regards the TENT!!!!





EDIT:  this is weird
Quote
Andrew Mott, a forensic officer who reached the scene after police arrived shortly after 9am, told how he tried to prevent Miss Yeates's body thawing out.

  Thought the weather was really bad, WHY would he need to prevent it from thawing out.... that is the craziest thing i've heard...

If the body is frozen solid as it was supposed to be there since the 17th Dec 2010... why would it thaw in the cold...

Ah... protect it with a Forensic Tent!!


Quote
Dr Delaney performed the first examination at 6pm on the day her body was found.

Why wait so long if the body was thawing?

Something that were never mentioned:

Quote
On Tuesday the Crimewatch crew filmed the Jo lookalike - an un-named actress who works for the BBC - in the Tesco store purchasing a Tesco Finest mozzarella, tomato and basil pesto pizza from a self-service checkout.
The blonde actress, aged in her 20s, wore a cream sports jacket, grey trousers, black boots and a rucksack.
She was also carrying a black handbag and white carrier bag, just as Jo was on the night she vanished.

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1348832/Joanna-Yeates-murder-Vincent-Tabaks-flat-searched-man-32-arrested.html#ixzz4RnMqsr4Q

Now I've mentioned her handbag before... ( on other forums) why is it never mentioned??

I believe when you look at the bargain booze video, she is seen going into it at the till.. she uses two hands to access her purse.... (the video suddenly cuts)

So...... Again.... why would her .... Keys, purse and glasses be in her rucksack??? Shouldn't they be in her bag like most woman keep there things!!!!

Now the black handbag, is not mentioned in Greg's statement or in the court, .... where is it???



I always believed her rucksack was for her work, as an architect, she would need to carry several items for
 her job...

Lets just re-cap....

Quote
Andrew Mott, a forensic officer who reached the scene after police arrived shortly after 9am, told how he tried to prevent Miss Yeates's body thawing out.

Now... why wasn't there any photographs of the following:

 
Quote
Tabak's QC, William Clegg, questioned why photographs were not taken of a broom being used to arrange straps underneath the body so her body could be taken away.

"I can't comment on why that was the case," Mr Mott said.

( who takes the forensic pictures..???)

So did they really use a broom handle... or are we back to mrswah's evidence of 8 fire brigade appliances????

The scene at Longwood Lane:

Quote
Officers put up a white tent over the ditch where the body was found on Longwood Lane, which was cordoned off at both ends. An ambulance with a police escort took the body from the scene at 4.45pm.

http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/joanna-yeates-killer-cries-in-dock-274852

Why was the body removed before Dr Delaney had seen it??
Quote
"A pathologist will be attending the scene to examine the body. It is far too early to confirm the cause of death or any circumstances," he added.

I'm a little confused, I believed that Dr Delaney was the pathologist that examined Joanna yeates

Drag Marks:


How was it possible to move Joanna Yeates from her flat without leaving any Drag Marks?

Quote
It is understood they are investigating whether Miss Yeates's body was taken from her home in a large bag or suitcase.

The Sun reported that the line of inquiry arose because there were no drag marks on Miss Yeates's body or clothing.


http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/crime/joanna-yeates-police-search-neighbours-flat-after-arrest-2189467.html

How was Dr Vincent Tabak have managed to carry a body ,he'd of needed to lift it from the  floor without leaving any drag marks...

Is it physically possible to lift a dead weight ,without dragging or dropping it? And move it, plenty of times, or did he do it in one swift movement or several short bursts

How physically difficult is it??

DNA Evidence:

When did they match the DNA evidence to Dr Vincent Tabak?

Quote
"These things take time. DNA evidence and things like that take a while in any investigation. We just have to sit tight now."

So..... what evidence did they arrest him on???

Quote
She said: "It is good news - but it is just a case of waiting to see if they have enough to charge him.


What happened to the entomology on Jo and in the area?


Quote
Most insects in the winter, however, are found burrowed under leaf litter or bored into the bark of a tree or surrounded by a protective shell like a cocoon or gall.

http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2005/02/0215_050215_insects_2.html

Again about the DNA:

Where was the DNA transfer from Dr Vincent Tabak to Joanna yeats...  Skin cells from Dr Vincent Tabak should have been present around Janna Yeates neck..

Partial Dna results
Quote
All three are thought to have been from the killer’s saliva, but have yielded only partial results. Sources said that they should be enough to rule out suspects over her murder – but probably not enough to conclusively prove anyone’s guilt.

Quote
LGC Forensics, the UK's largest independent provider of forensic services, successfully used a range of advanced forensic techniques, including LGC’s proprietary DNA enhancement method, DNASenCE, to link Vincent Tabak to the 2010 murder of Joanna Yeates.

http://www.lgcgroup.com/about-us/media-room/latest-news/2011/lgc-forensics-provides-key-evidence-in-jo-yeates-i/#.WERzVaKLRgc

The don't state that the sample went through the extra senCE process, i've attached a diagram of what they do..

Quote
However the increased sensitivity of this DNA profiling technique brings about amplified concerns over issues of ease of contamination and amplification of these contaminants, mixed profiles being produced and wrongful accusations. With techniques such as LCN, it is now more important than ever that investigators wear suitable protective clothing and follow strict anti-contamination procedures, and controls are used in analyses.

http://aboutforensics.co.uk/dna-analysis/

Quote
1) There is a greater potential for error (compared with conventional STR typing protocols).

2) Errors of interpretation can be caused by allele drop-in, allele drop-out, peak height imbalance, and large stutter peaks.

3) There is a need for a robust and reliable quantitation assay in order to determine the amount of DNA available for analysis.

4) LCN profiles are not generally reproducible. Because of the potential error, the probative value of the results may not be estimated reliably.

5) The interpretation of mixture profiles from LCN typing is problematic. Interpretation guidelines based upon reliable validation studies do not exist.

6) Because of the sensitivity of the assay and the types of samples analyzed (ie, touch samples), the LCN profile may not be relevant to a case.

7) The evidence cannot be used for exculpatory purposes.

8) Proper evidence collection and handling protocols have not been well established or at least communicated.

9) Reagents and consumables may contain low level amounts of extraneous DNA that can complicate the interpretation of LCN typing results.
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2702736/

So if this evidence of low copy DNA could not be used for exculpatory purposes it could not be used to rule Dr Vincent Tabak in either.

Judgment



Quote
Vincent Tabak was charged with the murder of Miss
. On 4th
March Mr Jefferies was informed that he was released from police bail. On 5th May
Tabak admitted that he was responsible for killing Miss Yeates when, at the Central
Criminal Court, he pleaded guilty to her manslaughter. He denied murder on the basis
of diminished responsibility.

http://onebrickcourt.com/files/cases/ag_89381.pdf

Quote
There is therefore no doubt about the identity of the man who killed Miss Yeates or
that Mr Jefferies is innocent of any involvement in it.

Several points there:

Diminished responsibilities, was never given as a reason in court.... "Or was it"??

He never pleaded Diminished responablities that I am aware of:...

How can they publish that there was NO DOUBT that Dr Vincent Tabak was guilty of a crime before he attended a trail?????

A confession is not proof of guilt....

The 1300 page document could have had his Lawyers change his plea....

But according to the pdf... HIGH COURT OF JUSTICE had already decided that Dr Vincent Tabak was guilty...

How can that be???

Isn't that information Prejudical to Dr Vincent Tabak's Trial??

The Judgement was made on the  29th July 2011

Anyone who was following the CJ saga could have read the report, Jurors and the general public alike...

How can they claim that there is NO DOUBT that Dr Vincent Tabak was responsible for Joanna Yeates death some nearly 3 months before the trial had taken place.....

They could have been anything that happened:
For instance:

(1) New evidence proved his confession was false..
(2) The sock was handed in
(3) another person had come forward to confess
(4) The lawyers had worked out that Dr Vincent Tabak, didn't have time to kill her..
(5) New witness's had come forward
(6) They found the console

How could his trial have possibly have been FAIR!!!!!!

In the PDf's own words
Quote
Courts on these occasions
expressing grave doubts as to the jury’s ability to forget or put
aside what they had heard or read. I am certainly not saying
that in respect of one and the same publication there cannot be
both a contempt…and a safe conviction. Plainly there can,
most obviously perhaps in cases where the trial has had to be
moved or delayed to minimise the prejudice occasioned by
some publication.


Did the Court actually Rule that their decision Dr Vincent Tabak was GUILTY before Trial could be perceived as prejudical!!!
Is this actually allowed?????

They were aware that Dr Vincent Tabak had not had his trial
I'm not suprised his defence team failed:

How can they come to the conclusion of guilt of a defendant, before Trial... I thought innocent until PROVEN GUILTY........!!!
HOW PREJUDICAL CAN YOU GET!!!


CJ's ruling was based partly on the fact that they decided that Dr Vincent Tabak was GUILTY...  ( obviously I do not agree with what the newspapers said,and they shouldn't get away with it)

And thats the High Court... God help us!!!!
