Mark Lundy - miscarriage of justice?

[Bassmatt]

Yeah I hear ya. No reason why something he contaminated in his truck didn't end up in his car later is there?

Should he not be able to explain that?
And how would it be enough blood to it too "light up like a glowworm".

Yeah that amount would seem odd. If that actually happened.

Think the defence lawyer might be a bit of a drama queen on that issue

Yeah I'm sure he's talking it up, but it would seem a reasonable assumption from that description that it was more than trace amounts. And he has no explanation, nothing, nada, zip, . I wonder if he can even point to a time where one of the victims would have any reason to access his boot. It would seem not.

Has Lundy got any explanation for having his wife's spinal matter on his shirt?

that evidence is still to come

[F5 Dave]

And whether it was actually spinal matter from flecks

[oldrider]

So the brother had DNA of both the wife and the daughter under his fingernails - blood in his car boot - on a towel - and a bit of previous on child sex?

Then the police focused on Lundy? --------------------------------------- yes - that makes a lot of sense!

That was the main reason the PC threw the conviction out. It wasn't confirmed as brain or spinal matter, and wasn't from his wife. Hence no explanation needed.

I've obviously missed that! I thought they'd tried to discredit it, didn't know they had.

[F5 Dave]

It's not often you see the defence go after another party, you'd want to be pretty sure or desperately immoral.

One thing for sure I'd I certainly don't know. My early thoughts were based on media reports of the time and they seem a bit lacking.

If Lundy had just done the honourable thing and just admitted guilt it would have made the poor detectives jobs easier than trying to prove it with facts one way or t`other.

Its the crown embellishing things bigger than they are to get their man again, today they are saying DNA traces??

• DNA traces on a polo shirt Lundy wore on August 29 look set to be a key piece of evidence. The Crown says they contain Christine Lundy's brain matter but the defence disputes that.

Lundy camps response?
2. Brain Tissue on the Shirt
Is the 'pin head sized' speck of tissue irrefutably Christine's brain or spinal tissue? Multiple forensic laboratories around the world advised that the chance of successfully determining this was near zero. A Texan pathologist used a new procedure based on an experiment with a fresh chicken just one week earlier, and testified based on this work



I dunno if he did it or not but the web site puts things into a lot of grey areas.
All I know is there seems to be a mounting list of cases where the police seem to have chosen their man and then seemingly collected the evidence to convict him?
After reading through that web site I'm not so sure??

The cops seem to have changed quite a few key facts this time round like the time of murder??

The "previous on child sex" was an allegation - the police followed it up but never proved anything - he was never charged.

Police performance doesn't look too promising in that area - they didn't seem to follow up very much on anything that guy is involved with!

Spose I shouldn't really talk like that but you know what I mean - this is KB after all!

[Crasherfromwayback]

I see today they're still talking about it though?
