Bit (loads) simple, but it always smelt bad that he got done on a murder verdict on the evidence provided... well, that' I've seen anyway. Well shakey.

Good luck to him.

Just for the record, I effing hate the idea of having a jury. I think most people are ******* retards and would hate to have my fate judged by Joe Bloggs and his stupid ******* mates.

Personally I think the amount that's been spent on the whole inquiry, similar to the investigation into Diana's car crash, is pretty preposterous given how little the CPS/Police cared when, for example, Stephen Lawrence was murdered. Some animals are a lot more equal than others, apparently.

More on topic, good luck to the chap. He's not out of the woods yet though? So does this mean there will be another trial?

I think hes guilty as sin to be honest, and has got off on some red tape.

I guess they open the case up again now, and find out who really did kill JD?

According to Planet Rock (that well known news source) he's up for retrial apparently.

From pretty much everything I've seen about the case, it is one massive ugly stitchups because the bloke's a bit mad.

Anyway, if you're on facebook, why not join this ******* awesome new group that some random, incredibly handsome and funny bloke gone done...

How i hear it is, he would have gone down for all the evidence against him, bar the DNA. but because the DNA has now been found to be a bit iffy, and its made the case null and void.

hmmmmm...

Think you may have it the wrong way round mate.

What I've seen is that the only thing they had was the gunpowder.

Of all their witnesses, only one picked him out of a lineup and he bore absolutely no resemblance to the man she saw for 5-6 seconds 2 hours before the murder took place, over a year and a half after it occured.

He's a proper flid (I mean that in a fluffy, sensative way) and there is no way he could have pulled off a crime such as the one detailed in the Dando case.

Fair play, wasnt there somthing about him being a stalker to JD aswell?

Also, and someone at uni has just said this, is there a chance that the real killers were islamic, and JD slagged them off the week before or somthing?

Ive never heard that before but, well this is Uni...

Didn't give much a [composite word including 'f*ck'] about JD from what I've seen. He was a bit obsessed with Princess deadfeatures, Freddie Mercury and celebs in general.

It was Serbian Muslims that have been suggested as possibly being linked. She had made an appeal for the other side during the Kosavon war, the BBCs portrayal of the Serbians in said conflict was unflattering to say the least and when the serbian TV pumped out their own propaganda they got bombed by NATO.

I think you'd nead a leap of faith of Carl Lewis proportions to see this as a Serb revenge attack.

These are interesting:

At the time I got the impression that they'd just pulled in the local nutter when they should have been searching for someone capable of such a clean hit.

Same as...

I also thought it was funny that they considered a man who went round either naming himself after a nonce or claiming he was Mercury's cousin could be capable of being at large for a year and a half and make such a clean getaway.

I thought it was funny that he went round either naming himself after a nonce & claiming he was Mercury's cousin full stop to be honest.
