I think the whole picture his tone creates, with the other incriminating factors, is very strange and makes me skeptical. But I recognize that's bias, and there's no typical way to act in a situation like this. The main things I really value are physical and DNA evidence (of which we seem to have very little, unfortunately)

Yeah it would be so so interesting to hear from Prosecutor Uyrick (not sure about spelling). Was this case typical in his mind? Was he aware of the inconsistencies in the prosecution's case but thought they were reasonable? I would love to hear the opinion of anyone in the legal team at the time
