bloody waste of taxpayer money. those two clowns walked free while we foot the bill for another appeal. ffs.
sure cold case reviews cost way more than this appeal did. But yeah, someone's gotta pay.
Yeah nah, something stinks here. How many years did they sit inside before someone decided the trial was dodgy?
nah the cop who 'identified' him should be charged tbh
Wonder what evidence got tossed. Cold cases always messy. Hard to know who to believe tbh.
mate don't talk crap if you weren't there. the cops do their best with what they've got.

Gutted for the family. They've been waiting decades and now back to square one. Justice system is a joke.
Exactly. No winners here. Just a sad saga for everyone.
Worked with Chris back in the day. Top bloke. Doesn't matter what the courts say, his mates know who did it.
they know but can't prove it. Small towns, everyone knows everyone's secrets.
Read the summary - looks like the police stuffed up the ID evidence. If the system can't get it right, what hope do we have?
facts. whole system needs an overhaul.
Either way, that pub's got a dark history. Place gives me the creeps every time I drive past.
not acquitted. But yeah, the damage is done.
So if they didn't do it, who actually shot him? Cops probably never gonna find out now.
lol justice in this country is a joke. Convict first, ask questions later. Two lives ruined AND the real killer still out there.
At least they got quashed. Plenty others still rotting on technicalities. Need a proper review of all these old cases.
