Then there's the question of what she meant by "winning big", and treating her friend to a holiday and a Mini Cooper. Those messages were not available at the time of the trial, in fact NWP denied they existed.
I'd say questioning her credibility would be sensible in this instance.

It's all irrelevant.
The place to question her credibility is in court.
If he is a victim of circumstance or something other, he shouldn't have got himself into the situation he found himself in.
If there is good evidence that he has been wrongly convicted, then that evidence, if admissible, can be brought to court otherwise his status doesn't change.
