  1. That poor girl.

    There os some comfort in him being caught but very little. The article doesn’t say if he ever did similar again?

  2. > The law was changed in 2003 to allow retrials of acquitted defendants if new and compelling evidence emerged and the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) was convinced that each case was fair and in the public interest.

    Hmmmmmm.

  3. As much as I don’t like scum who kill women, due to how long ago this case was I don’t think it was in the public interest to have pursued this when we have white collar corruption to stamp out. That’s far worse and much more dangerous to the public than a crime committed almost half a century ago.
