I haven't listened to it as yet so it would be helpful if you could list the arguments which claim to lend support to Gilroy.
These can then be used to start a new thread.
I'd have to review it. I binge listened about 3 months ago.
You're right though, the podcast never really mentioned his 'violent past'. He comes across as very convincing. There's hours of phone interviews with him and he's very eloquent and assertive.
The podcast, in my opinion, as per the current trend, attempts to inject some suspense to the narrative for the unwitting listener.
From memory, the main crux of the defence is the lack of 'definitive' CCTV, a 'speeding car' leaving the scene at almost exactly the same time frame, the total lack of forensics in the basement, the dog alerts uncorroborated (despite the car being given the Domestos treatment) and the apparent corroboration in regard to his movements to the school in the afternoon and the reason for him going home to pick something up.
The fella narrator has an annoying voice too.
