Those who agree with the trial verdict but continue to debate on forums

Indeed. That's what I meant by sound evidence.

Better than all that "circumstantial" stuff !

If you refer to my post on the subject I suggested that she could be defended on the basis that she herself was a victim of Brady’s who forced her to take part in the depravity.  I’m sure someone sick enough could build such a case and defend it, after all there is an enormous mountain if evidence that the Nazis murdered 6 million Jews but still there are people who dispute this.

I have, and it is very good. "One of Your Own".

She also wrote a book about David Smith (Hindley's brother in law, who went to the police and spilled the beans). That is very good too. I think it's called "Evil Relations".

IMO, nobody doubts Hindley's involvement because the evidence against her was so sound.

THat wasn't the premise of the question.

Sorry, don't understand. What question?

I was replying to Holly, who asked me if I'd read CAL's book on Hindley.

This was the original question

If I was to start a thread to defend Myra Hindley as a misunderstood victim of Ian Brady’s who was coerced against her will to take part in the most heinous crimes against children and then proceeded to spend months and years on this forum posting my theories and defence of her, would you silently respect my views and allow me to continue unchallenged?  Or would you find such behaviour quite morally reprehensible and feel obliged to speak up to say so?

Then everyone started going on about how no one thinks MH is innocent, but that wasn't the premise of the question. The subject matter could be anyone but if it was someone who you felt strongly was a murdering toe rag "would you silently respect my views and allow me to continue unchallenged?  Or would you find such behaviour quite morally reprehensible and feel obliged to speak up to say so?"

If you look back, you'll see that I did answer it !
