Almost afraid to comment as it seems many are beyond convinced and I may be lynched for having an alternative opinion.
I think the defence did a good job, he highlighted points that I wasn't aware if or that had only been very briefly mentioned. For me now besides the issues of timings, defence barrister certainly raised enough doubts that I would be likely to say Guilty of Rape but Not Guilty of murder.
Sorry as much as I am aware this is a highly unpopular opinion and extremely unpalatable to hear, the information raised with regard to Libbys mental state and frame of mind both on that night and before could absolutely be relevant and there is nothing that convinces me we can be sure at all what actually transpired that night.
We can be sure he's a pervert and his intentions towards libby were far from honourable but for me that is all I can be sure on.
Before the trial I would have had him guilty of murder without hearing the evidence, the idea of her simply falling into the river was preposterous to me, hearing the evidence however I sadly feel it cannot be proven to be at PRs hand.
