I'm glad for him - never thought he'd done it - even though it was extremely controversial. Well done David, hopefully you can get on with your life now

So if someone commits a crime and then gets away with it because of incompetence by police or prosecution lawyers, they are innocent?

Yeah that makes sense.

Yeah that's pretty much how it works. So direct your frustration at the pigs.

How could they know for sure..

He was convicted in 1994 by a Jury so not sure why the Govt are at fault...he is then found not Guilty by a Jury...that's the justice system.

There will always be some doubt but enough to find him not guilty this time with more evidence which had the benefit of belated time to delve further and at the end of the day justice was served and he is now free.

I don't think you can blame the Police. They presented the evidence to the Prosecution who made the decision and at the time due process followed

Exhumation?

Maybe The Crown will appeal this verdict?

If the appeal fails, they can apply to the privi council.

If that fails, they can apply again in a couple of years.

How abut a retrial of the retrialled trial in 2015

my own thoughts is his was jailed for the simple fact that given the number of dead, the police at the time were basically obliged to jail someone, anyone. the public would not have accepted a murder/suicide with one lucky survivor. so they target the most likely. in violent crimes, cops always look at family first and then work out through extended family, friends and strangers. david being only immediate family member alive was the perfect choice, right or wrong.
