Do some research first before you make comments like "Surely you are not all talking about a cover up based solely on the man's claims that he is innocent? Am I missing other info somewhere?", otherwise I may suspect that you think I believe someone is innocent on the basis of their say so.
I've followed the case since it happened back in 1992, when my daughter was born, Eddie's child if it had been born would have been the same age as my daughter, and that kind of brought home to me how much he has missed when I read his story in our local newspaper.
Obviously, I can't be certain if he's innocent, but after having read the in's and out's of the case throughout the years, my gut feeling has always been that he was innocent. Do some research and come back and prove me wrong hoops, betcha can't
lol
It's a fair comment I make - I did say 'if I am missing other info'!!!

I have never heard of him until now, so I know nothing either way - but if you look back on the brief thread everyone has the cops judged and sentenced right off the bat! Saying 'my gut says he is innocent' is perfectly reasonable, and your initial point of 'whilst I have doubt he stays innocent in your eyes' is also a fair comment, we all listen to our instincts (or probably should). If it is a genuine mistake it is just horrible. If something like this is proved to be a cover up, then it is tantamount to murder as that guy will have essentially been deprived of the life he should have had. I will watch with interest...and an open mind!
