Did they find his footprints near the bodies? - no.  Did he fit the bill as a serial killer? - no,  he is too old and messy in his life. Was there another more likely suspect? - yes Were the police desperate to get a conviction for the murders quickly? -yes Were the members of the jury in fear of the people of Ipswich if they failed to find him guilty? -yes I could go on like this but I just want to say that the Ipswich court proceedings left me thinking that the law is indeed 'an ass'.    Report

YES   Well if he's guilty then you stand alone, but if he's proven not to be then justice needs to be served.    Report

This is the sort of cr*p we have to live with in a free society, but don't expect me to be delighted. Whose paying his costs? I bet it isn't him. Harry, still    Report

I'm hoping that someone is out there who can read and ALSO think  and string together a few more intelligent ideas .... An appeal is going to happen whether you like it or not.    Report

It is therefore in breach of the forum code of conduct. The man who is responsible for this slur on an innocent man is no stranger to the libel courts himself. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/7288308.stm    Report

17/12/2008, 8:43 PM CynicalM Joined on 15/12/2008 Posts 70 Re: Steve Wright appeal Ok I don't agree with libel but the point is there are so many questions left unanswered after the court case and they even said as much in the summing up.  Without mentioning any names I simply ask, was there proof that Steve Wright was a murderer or only proof that girls died AFTER being with him.  One of the girls was seen by two people hours after leaving Wright, buying sweets in a garage.  Did he come back to kill her or was somebody else around?  I thought people were supposed to be innocent until proved guilty and I don't think the proof was there - simple.      Report

But a jury of his peers who sat through the whole of the trial did. I know whose opinions I feel is likely to be more accurate. Whilst you are here, do you have any views on whether the moon landings were faked on a Hollywood backlot and the twin towers demolished by carefully laid explosive charges? There are people all over the web just as convinced of these two conspiracies as you are that this murderer is a lilywhite innocent. Harry, still    Report
