Murder at the Cottage | Sky

Thats exactly it, this case isnt even about Bailey anymore, its about how corrupt the gards in this country are, its about the lack of accountability for said corruption in the force, its about the lack of consequences for perjurers, its about a small town in the west of Ireland where they were happy to ruin a mans life because he was a bit of a loudmouth & its about the arrogant & ignorant French. This is about Ireland as a country also, us as a society & how we deal with cases like this. Sending out a message that its ok to ruin a mans life based on zero hard evidence & on the other hand allow scumbags to get away scot free for implicating him in the crime not to mention the actual murderer.

If things were done properly here,

1) Bailey would have been well compensated for all the bull he's been put through. I'm talking millions here from the state.

2) The gards who committed the corruption would have been fired, arrested & jailed.

3) The gards who showed gross incompetence in the investigated should have been suspended or fired. A large deduction to their fat pensions we're all paying for.

3) Prison for Marie Farrell, a long stretch there would have softened her cough & maybe encouraged her to tell the truth after all.

4) All proper lines of enquiry & leads would have been followed up on. All evidence would have been retained, wine bottle, gate, etc. instead of deposed of.

5) The French would have been told where to go when they came over looking to carry out their own investigation without so much as informing the DPP.

6) The French would have been told where to go when they tried to extradite Bailey for the crime.

7) Dwyer would have been moved off the case very early on from the investigation. How he made it to detective in the first place astounds me.

Many of the above would have helped in the solving of this case. If were living in a country where the likes of the police aren't allowed to do whatever they want, there's a high chance this crime could have been solved IMO.

I think there is a big difference between Bailey & Farrell to be fair. Farrell lied in a court of law under oath, she inserted herself into the case probably making up the sighting of the man at the bridge. She benefited financially from her lies to the gards. She wasted the gards time, steered the case in a direction it might not have gone otherwise without her involvement. She is a fraudster & in my eyes, a scumbag.

Bailey lied about being in bed all night with Jules after probably realizing the gards were setting him up for murder. He probably panicked & I dont blame him for this.

Its not in the same stratosphere as Farrell.

Also, stop using my name you nutjob, simply quote my post, making out we know each other or something.

I wouldnt be that sympathic to her tbh. She inserted herself into the case for no reason whatsoever other than likely because she was bored & wanted some attention or whatever was going in that mind of hers. Aside from the corrupt gards, she is one the main reasons why the case wasnt solved. She took the focus of the case in an entirely different direction.

She lied under oath, she benefited financially from those lies, she implicated an innocent man in a murder he didnt commit, she contributed to the murder of an innocent not being solved. Zero sympathy, she should be in prison.
