I am by no means an expert in criminal justice, but by Shanes behaviour under interview initally and he 'no commented' all the way through I thought Guilty. He apparently showed no emotion when sentenced and I thought Guilty. However from what was reported in both local papers the circumstantial only evidence pointed mostly in favour of David having done a bunk. I cannot understand how a judge or jury can sentence anybody with firm link to a murder that may or may not have been commited without real and damning evidence to say that the perpetrator was present at the time and that blood was found on the accused or in his house or car.

It is impossible to say that the police or court would withhold evidence from the public domain, because it is in the publics best interest to know the facts. From what I can gather the prosecution only had a torch that was apparently lent to David a long time earlier, Shane wearing commando clothing on the night and going to work tired with no memory of the previous nights football match, and having once said that he'd kill him, God help me if Maradona, Ronaldo or any number of referee's ever turn up dead.

Sympathies to at least one family and both if there has been a miscarriage of justice.
