So this leaves us with the question of who DID kill Jill Dando and why?

Guess that's one we will never know after all this time.:(

Good point, Antoine.

Never thought they had sufficient evidence of guilt personally, which is different from saying he didn't do it. However, all I've seen about him tends to suggest that if he had done it, he wouldn't have had the brains to cover it up so well that they couldn't get any decent forensics on him.

Had capital punishment been an option in law I find it unlikely he'd have got it. Usually CP supporters wheel out the line it should apply when the verdict was beyond doubt, which is not the case here as it was based on the presence of gunshot residue in his pocket, hence his appeal.

Er, he's only convicted if it's 'beyond reasonable doubt' - the point about appeals and CP is that if evidence comes to light several years after you've hung him that casts doubt on the verdict you can have all the appeals in the world and it's not going to come close to righting the wrong.

Erm, thanks for repeating my point in more detail...

Even the biggest window licker can have the brains to ditch the clothes he used to kill someone.
