Murder at the Cottage | Sky

I do think Farrell has to be totally ignored- she brings nothing but confusion. I maintain that, even if IB did it - MF did not see him that night.

Regardless of what you think of MF's reliability, it was her reported sighting at the bridge that seems to have caused JT to change the story of what happened that night. She had previously said that she was a light sleeper and she would have known if he had gotten up during the night but they had both spent the entire night in bed. After the MF sightings were laid out in the interrogation room, she then remembered him getting out of bed and added that she couldn't remember him getting back in until he brought her coffee the next morning. She also then remembered him suggesting he might go over to Alfie's and that he had a cut on his forehead that wasn't there the night before.

JT later denied saying this but it then caused IB to change his story about the night.

So even if MF was at home, or if she saw someone else, it seems that when confronted with a possible sighting a couple of miles from the house, JT seems to have considered this plausible during her questioning.

We (the Irish public) owe Ian Bailey nothing, nada. He should be extradited and tried in France if we are not prepared to have a criminal trial. Let's see then what evidence is produced and sustained in court. At least that would clarify this aspect of the case.

Completely disagree. We owe it to our laws and constitution to not allow anyone residing here to be part of a kangaroo court which claims jurisdiction over what happens in this country. The French have zero interest in a fair trial or getting to the truth of what happened, as was obvious from the total lack of co-operation given to the Garda investigation in France. They want a non French scapegoat and they want to show they can use their ridiculous law to claim jurisdiction in another EU country.

Agree - Fuller and Bailey were friends before the murder and to think they were running away from a man that wasnt even Bailey - a man he knew well! How reliable a witness is Fuller?

Answer - not credible at all.

Nonsense, what kind of standard are we setting if we allow a person who's lived in the country for decades and has every right to Irish citizenship be extradited to France to serve life in prison for a crime where there's practically not a shred of evidence against him, whether he did it or not its legally wrong. Whats then to stop me, you our families or any other average joe from suffering the same fate.

People can't proclaim law and order and then try to bend it when it suits them.

Our DPP has said several times there's no evidence to warrant charging him, they'd be practically admitting that French law is more important and accurate than Irish law.

He and his legal team offered no defence for the trial, apparently he was entitled to free legal aid from France as well. If there was no evidence or witnesses, any defence would cut through the case like a snow plough. As it stands he is entitled to a full retrial with representation if he were to find himself in France. What do you want them to do, send a summons with a little pink ribbon, an inspirational message and a voucher for a Med cruise?

can you show the exact statement of the DPP saying that "this was a bit of craic"

They may have say=id it had no bearing on the case, but I would doubt very much that they said this was a bit of "craic"

Your credibility is effectively on the floor with wild erroneous statements and utterly crazy conjecture

It seems possible some creep may have been lurking around the house at night when she was present but it would be difficult for a" peeper " looking up at her bedroom window to actually see anything going on inside, certainly not standing at the entrance gate or even from the adjacent field on the left. Anyone who has visited the site would realise this.
