I disagree, his sins are between him and god. If people think he is guilty thats their choice. OJ Simpson was found not guilty in court of law. Doesnt mean the truth was found in that case. Civil case later found him guilty and eventually ****ty things happened to him (karma). Ian Baileys case is similar. He may not be found guilty in irish court of law but karma will see to him in the end. He is homeless. Cant leave ireland. Dispised by many. The truth comes out eventually. The hack of him arguing it was a fair fight between him and Jules that left her with black eye and stitches in her mouth. Him of six feet three inches.OJ Simpson used to beat the **** out of his wife too before he killed her. Maybe we are too tolerant in ireland tbh.

With that said, there's simply nothing to tie him to this murder that would move the DPP, and that's because they know a jury simply cannot convict with what's on offer. I'll be straight up - I wouldn't be willing to convict with what we know. There's so much layered f*ckery with this case, that there's more than reasonable doubt at play here; there's lots of it. Bailey's sins, whatever they may be, are between him and God.

Not sure of what circles you mix in to say country is full of these. Prisons are full of these types definitely Boards is not an irish court of law but i agree with the french on the law of probability he is guilty. I also think he is a scumbag with no redeeming features. Most abusive men who beat the **** out of women to the point of hospitilisation or death have many other personality problems. Ian Bailey is one of lifes losers and takes that out on women.

I think hes guilty as do alot of other people in ireland. Why would you tell a 14 year old lad in a car i smashed a womans skull in with a block. All evidence pointing to him. I dont really care that he has never been convicted. Hes paying the price now anyhow. Karma.

They have nothing only circumstances, and he said, she said nonsense. The Gardai well and truly f*cked this up and Bailey lives with it. We live in a civil society. This sort of parochial witch hunting belongs in the last century.

There is no evidence that he burned any incriminating items in that fire, tis a common sight out the country to see the smoke rising from a backyard fire matter of fact according to Jules the Gardai took possession of his long black coat and found nothing, So far fwis there's nothing of any significance to connect him to this crime... Sometimes if it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck it's still not a duck no matter how much the Gardai want us to see it as a duck

However, according to the Sunday Independent, Ms Farrell now believes she can identify the man as someone known to Ms Toscan Du Plantier’s deceased husband Daniel.

She also has a lot to answer for if that’s the case, as much as I feel for her having the misfortune to meet him in the first place.

The_Honeybadger wrote: » Yeah binged it this evening and thinking the same. I thought it was more factual than the JS Documentary. I reckon he did actually know Sophie, or at least had met her, talked about the project mentioned in the documentary etc. He was infatuated with her, went to her house that night drunk, his advances were rebuffed and he subsequently just lost it. His history of violence after taking a drink would lend credence to this theory. If that is the case then he got extremely lucky in the aftermath with everything that happened with the state pathologist, Gardai not preserving the scene or moving the body etc. Crazy story altogether. The Marie Farrell factor is completely bizarre and I’ve no idea what to make of her at all. I think that anything she says should be disregarded, I just don’t believe a word she says.

The scratches on his head and arms are pretty telling. he tries to explain it away by saying he was cutting down the top of a pine tree for christmas and got the scatches when climbing it to cut off the top...but pine tees don't have needles that would scratch you...also if you were up a tree in december you'd be wearing a jacket with long sleeves because of the cold, so even less likely to get any scratches from softer pine as opposed to wrestling with someone in a briars bush...also his explanation of how killing a turkey caused the scratch on his forehead doesn't gel with me...and interestingly he says that sophie's house was 2 or 3 km away but only about 1 mile as the crow flies.

Honestly, part of me feels sorry for him. Even if he didn't do it, but plead guilty, knowing our courts, he'd be out of prison 10 years ago and free to get on with his life.
