Immature and proud of it.
What made me suspicious about the Watson case was the prosecution saying that the water-taxi driver was mistaken about whether Watsons boat was a sloop or a ketch ( 1 mast or 2) yet he was certain about identifying Watson.
Everyone, except this jury, knows that eyewitness ID's are notoriously inaccurate. But you would expect a keen boatie to know the difference between yacht designs.
It stinks of a fit-up.

The bit I love about some of the cries about police "fit up", is that nobody can explain why the law would go to great trouble put together a team to fabricate evidence and risk their careers (and possible prison time) to frame someone, and be happy to live with the thought that a murderer is walking free without a worry in the world.
End of minor rant - more of a ra

The pressure to get a conviction is very powerful, which explains the magical appearance of the cartidge case in the Crewe murders.Originally Posted by Dadpole

Not a rant mate, tell us what ya think..... to answer ya question read the link I posted up, and one reason would be to cover a fuk up... up, wouldent be the 1st time the cops have lied (a very few but powerfull few)
ps: did you know of the NZ 'ss' in the 2nd world war? they were as bad as the Japs, and Germans for that matter but it was all hushed up.... My Grandad was one and the storys he started to tell before he kicked the bucket would have Hitler turn in his grave..... my point theres "fit ups" in this world everywere ya go
Lou the 1 mast 2 mast thing was a minor compared to the other shit that went on.... The taxi guy was there 1st suspect, lucky for him there was a more dodger person about that night.
cheers DD

Another website pointing out possible flaws in the case. A lot of theories about witnesses changing their minds, contamination of evidence etc.
Have you read the Karam book about the Bain case. Compare the evidence he says was presented in court with the actual evidence presented. Great for playing "spot the difference".
On another note, your grandad and the NZ "SS" were the same in all countries during the war. Can't have people rocking the boat in wartime. Bad for morale you know. I hope he wasn't involved in the infamous Sydney Ross/Captain Calder affair.
