 | I don't know about this. I feel I should point out that I am not a child murderer, nor do I have any familiarity with child murder beyond quite liking the Auteurs. However.
As I understand it, the current case does not contest that the children were in the house when they died. Nor does it contest that the accused then took them to a ditch, cut off their clothes and set fire to their bodies. Or that he then attempted to destroy those clothes . What exactly is missing from this picture? Alien attack? It seems that the whole thing is pretty much over bar the shouting, and I'm not sure I understand the continuing fascination with the details. One would imagine that with such limited variety in the possible conviction options we could just leave the court to get on with it.
Of course, I'm not sure one can get on with it. it's the same problem with the Jackson case. How exactly do you find 12 people who have not been in some way swayed by the media? Good luck..
