Nine. I haven't been following this thread too closely recently but can I ask you something. What is it that convinces you that Vincent Tabak might be innocent?
Hi john
I think you need conviction in anything you believe in..... I would say that after the trial at first like the crowd I went with what was said... But was still in two minds even at that time........
And There were things that always niggled me..
And the one of the first things that really bothered me was his Defence...
Now I do not believe your personal opinions should come into it when your argueing for a Defendant unless they are supporting your client...
I couldn't get my head around the fact that his Lawyer was busy letting the Jury know how dispicable his client was!!!
I'm thinking, hey... your supposed to be helping this guy here, not burying him!!
I've given examples of his Defence team before,,... Yesterday I found another quote...
I’m not going to ask you to like Vincent Tabak – there’s frankly nothing to like.
WILLIAM CLEGG QC, TABAK DEFENCE.
https://www.channel4.com/news/tabak-determined-to-kill-prosecution-claimAs you can see ... Dr Vincent Tabak had already pleaded guilty to Manslaughter... All The Defences job was at that point was to explain to a Jury that it was Manslaughter and Not Murder!!!
And these statements which they are many... are not the actions of what I believe A Defence Lawyer should be!!!!
It just kept niggle at me as I said, and then I started to really think about it...
The other thing that I couldn't understand, was why a guy would wake up one morning, go to work come home , and in no time at all go next door to a neighbour he had never met and kill her....
It seem fantastical to me... Then bob off to he shops....
There are Alarm Bells ringing with this (IMO)
I couldn't understand ,that if this was the case why he would move her..... He really would have no need to move her..
If you are as calculating as people say you are, then the Calculations should add up!!
He doesn't need Asda as an Alibi... His Computer would do that... !!!!
He could have used the time to clean up... No one would have suspected him...
But then to bring a body into your own flat where body fluids would leak and into your own car ... seems far riskier than, leaving her in situe...
And over the years it would always be there.... I start thinking about it..
trying to understand why a man who was Calculating, Lying,Manipulative, would not be able to give a comprehensive account of what took place, and instead sat there crying....
I kept thinking , why is he not explaning this better, why isn't he really trying to convince a Jury that it is Manslaughter.....
Also the story that he tried to implicate CJ.. didn't really ring true... I'm sure he could have come up with a far more convincing and incriminating story if his intension was to incriminate the Landlord..
At that point NO ONE knew when or if Joanna Yeates had died in her Flat or left it....... There was no real evidence either way as to whether she had left her flat or someone brought her things back!!!! (And I believe that true today..)
So how could he really be trying to incriminate the Landlord at that time 31st December 2010..
No one knew anything... At this juncture they had arrested the landlord and his face was splashed ALL over the media...
And to say his car moved is no biggy.....
The fact that CJ And Tanja Morson were not called to give evidence seemed completely wrong....
If CJ was the man he was accusing or insinuating was the killer , then you would expect that man to Defend himself, you would expect that man to go to court and say the accusations of his tennant were wholly untrue and that he was a fantasist....
You would give your account of that tennants, general behaviour.... After all you are the Landlord, you are the head I believe of the Neighbourhood watch scheme and you have apparently witnessed someone at the little gate... Also if the Prosecution were saying this is the man he tried to incriminate... "here he is"... that would have gone along way into proving that was true...
Even give a character reference of your beautiful young tennant who's life has been robbed from her......
Talk about helping her boyfriend to get to Sheffield, there were so many things that CJ could have said, Yet he wasn't called and I believe the Nation assumed he would be called....
Tanja Morson.... Now out of everyone she should have been called, she could have said anything about him whether good or bad , she'd be under oath so, she would have no reason to lie,..
Tanja Morson could have cohobarrated that the Bicycle cover existed... She could have said about whether or not his actions , behaviour was different..... The were a miriad of questions both the Defence and Prosecution alike could have posed to her...
His own family... If the defence were trying to show that this was not his character why wasn't his brother or sister called to give evidence to what they know their brother to be....
And confessions in general I am not totally sold on.... They need really hard evidence to back them up !!!
With the supposed Chaplain confession, I couldn't understand that!!! I couldn't understand why a man of the cloth would divulge a confession whether a person believes in god or not... It's not really what they do......
My husband cannot understand why people would confess to a crime they havent committed , because he says he never would do that...
But it's been proven time and again that people do confess....
I tried to apply common sense to this John...
I felt uncomfortable with the media after the trial... If it wasn't proven in court, you can say absolutley anything about anyone and the fact that they are not going to take you to court for slander as they also may not know this is what has been said..
You are on a pretty safe bet as to say completely anything!!!! The Porn bothered me because of the girl in the pink T-shirt in the boot of the car.....
It just appeared ludicrous to me... I thought what are the chances of that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If it's supposed to be a spontaneous attack... why would he have a picture of a girl in a Pink T-shirt in the boot of a car,so as to replicate this later...
He couldn't have stalked Joanna Yeates as he was away the majority of the time from when her and Greg moved in.. he'd only been home a few days before the murder, so it has to be a spontaneous attack..... that they are implying.
So you wouldn't be replicating anything... not to the point of her wearing the same clothes... Now thats Fanatastical...
I could never understand why If he was the MAN for this crime, why they would remove information about this case from the internet!!!!
There's a wealth of information about various crimes but the information doesn't get removed... You don't get whole forums removed... Of course in such forums people say outrageous things , but that is forum all over the internet that could be applied too.. But they don't get removed...
Posts get removed... Not whole forums!!!!!!
I tried to understand why the silence.... I thought he'd have been transferred by now...
But as I said for years this just kept pecking at my head!!!
And I thought i'll try and find out as much as I can about this and then make a decision as to what I think and believe...
The list below where questions I couldn't get out of my head...
(1):Things like how hard is it to move a dead weight on your own???? Bothered me
(2):Lack of body fluids
(3):No DNA in either flat of Dr Vincent Tabak and Joanna Yeates??
(4):The sudden arrest after struggling with no idea..??
(5):The crying girl not being played in court??
(6):His phone call not being played in court??
(7):Cj not being in court ??
(8):Tanja not being in court??
(9):I could never understand why her handbag was not mentioned!! ( I don't mean the rucksack)..
(10:Fire engines galore at the scene, but where were the fire brigade in court??
(11):The lack of snow on the ground when she walks past waitrose then goes in??
(12): The Pizza... why take it??? made no sense??
(13): Confession to the chaplain that the chaplain divulged and shouldn't if he was a real chaplain!!
(14) :partical DNA
(15): peoples original information changing when they were in court
(16): Her mother being convinced she had been abducted!!
(17):No other woman saying he had tried it on with them..
(18):He was socially awkward.. why suddenly be able to engage with a stranger.
(19):Why the cider wasn't removed
(20):How her phone still worked after all those days, if she died on the friday..
(21):The defence not liking their client and telling the Jury so..
(22):Timestamps missing from Video's
(23):The editing of video's
(24): A Real Motive
Now I Can definatley say about the editing of video's and it's probably not what you may think I'm reffering too.....
I was on a forum in the beinging following the trial and The Avon and Somerset Police put up a Video of Joanna Yeates being in waitrose...It had been shown to the jury, it was the first time anyone had seen this video.So everyone was anyalising this video and started to make comments on how it appeared that she was being watched by a man who was in waitrose... Now this man at the Time could have been Dr Vincent Tabak, we were not to know anything about his movements so it really shouldn't have been a problem....
But within in a short time, less than an hour if I remember correctly,, this video was slicked... They removed it from the internet and edited it before they put it back on again....They cut the people off in the video so you could not see them properly anymore... It made it difficult to see their movement and therefore you could no longer say that the man in the black coat was watching her..... You could only see this man from his waist downwards....
Now it may seem like something and nothing, but if your not trying to hide something, why interfer with a video that has just been shown in court!!!!!
It shouldn't and wouldn't make any difference to the procedings... (And as I say people were under the impression it could have been Dr Vincent Tabak following her)..
I believe you can now see the video in its entireity now... but i just couldn't understand the reason for what they did... And then for the forum to be removed , it all seemed very strange.....
Too many niggly thing that didn't add up..... No real motive No real proof of anything, the only thing that he really had against him was his admission or confession which ever way you want to look at it, that he had committed this crime...
And I have seen many times that people do admit to things that they have never done!!!!!
And with so many questions and No real answers I started to try to look into what really happened , because I began to believe that what was said was not true.....
I do believe the phone working perplexing.... From Friday morning 17th December 2010 till the 19th December At 9:00pm, with no charging and plenty of use this phone still had battery life...
It just suprises me... we don't know what phone she had but still it seems odd that it would still work as she was recieving texts etc.. even if she wasn't replying!!!!!!
EDIT:....
I also say if you read my posts John which i know are long, I can't see how he had the time.
I can't understand why searches he was supposed to have done he wasn't home for...
And the clothes she appears to have been found in seem to differ from what she was wearing on Friday the 17th December 2010 which you can see on video's....
There are still the odd drawing of Joanna Yeates on the Internet and I would never put them on here or anywhere, but they show her in blue Jeans, I'm sure the Jeans she has on in Tesco are Black...
The T-shirt is pulled right up, so if there is a flower pattern on the front you wouldn't be able to see it....
The fact we don't see her paying for this PIZZA but see her leaving with it from Tesco's.....
And If there are more questions than what I started with, that add up even less, then it convinces me that a man who couldn't make a search because he wasn't at home, who wasn't given access to friends or family, was a man that could easily have made a confession that wasn't true.....
The lack of Dutch.....
And of course all of the other information that I have posted about!!!!!
