I find it kind of crazy that the press really lay into the Police when they put a lot of resources into proving an offence actually occured and then in the next breath try to humilate them for not putting enough resources into proving the offence.
Imagine the outcry if the Police had taken the car away and their scientific aids department went to town under the bonnet to see what parts had recently been removed, or replaced. Then had Subarau connect the engine to their own diagnostic equipment to see what this would disclose.
Damned if you do, damned if you don't.
It is the old adage of 'Money buys innocence'
Satch sums this case up very well. The case was 'Not Proven'
similar really to the woman who won her appeal against what she claimed were cot deaths. Not one Appeal Court Judge said she was indeed innocent, but there was doubt over some of the evidence.
