She was a Welsh rugby international after just 7 games, no doubt fit, tough and I don't mean to be unflattering but like a tank, I bet she was fitter and stronger and would knock Morris head off (figuratively speaking) if they got into a fight. Obviously it doesn't mean she did anything wrong but exhmrc1 if he knows some of the people involved in this case is being very selective in these discussions on this board.

But it couldn’t possibly be her as she wasn’t on trial. You couldn’t make it up. |  |

Clydach murders on 18:59 - Oct 28 by exhmrc1 | Why do you believe that. What is it based on. Is it the TV programme or book. The reality is that in addition to the 2 trials the case has already been looked at legally by top judges. They have also decided the verdict is safe. They are far better positioned than you, I, Trampie or anybody else to make judgement. Maybe it is time for you and Trampie to recognise this. We had a totally one sided TV programme which to be honest made ludicrous claims included a guy coming forward after 20 years. If he is to be believed it would mean an experienced copper would be walking 4 miles away from a murder scene over a mountain then along the Pontardawe to Ammanford road then through a housing estate to get to his house. I, for one do not believe it just like I dont believe Morris' version of events. I also dont believe 2 experienced coppers would have walked 1/2 mile to a murder scene. You might accept these things I dont. Coppers more than the rest of us would realise the need not to be seen and would have a getaway vehicle close by not walking up a main road. The programme was so one sided it didnt give opposing views. There was no argument against their so called experts but there would certainly have been a dissenting view. There was no proper questioning of the witnesses they brought forward. The police were not even given a advance copy of the allegations let alone the chance to answer the ones made. It is all very well making these programmes but they should have had balance. As for the info not provided to the defence we dont know what these were but the body considering Morris appeal probably did and still rejected it. Court cases allow both sides to put cases forward. The BBC showed it as an open and shut case but the authorities look at this fully and have already decided the verdict is safe. |
There is evidence in storage where at the time no DNA could be found. DNA has moved on so much in the last 20 years IN MY OPINION DNA may now be found on these items. If everyone is so sure of the innocence or guilt of various parties. What harm would it do to have these items checked. It may help in the long term development of DNA tracing.

If he didnt do it then he appeals and proves it. Nothing to do with the Lewis family but his defence team and some on here try to make that the case. The recent programme made the case of 3 supposed sightings of Stephen Lewis but he is not the one found guilty. |  | |  |

As stated earlier "cross contamination" would be an issue, especially if Morris has admitted being in the house. |  |

A quick google showed there was dna found in 2014 of male origin but had been tested no further.Morris put this to the CCRC in a bid for appeal,asking for ut to be tested afainst him. The DNA was found on spent matches used to start the fire a watch placed on mandys wrist The pole used and the clothes mandy had worn that night. The CCRC dismissed the case as SWP said that the samples hadn't been stored properly so could not be tested.Wether this is a deliberate act by SWP to hide/hinder evidence or just bad luck for morris is anyobes guess |  | |  |

That's it, he has to now prove it because he was found guilty, not a criticism but an observation, initially the prosecution have to prove guilt, if there is a miscarriage of justice in the UK, once you are done it's then hard to get it overturned, hence why multiple appeals, retrials do not necessarily underline someone's guilt, the majority of the public might think so but the opposite can be true and it could be a sign of a borderline initial conviction. |  |

For clarity i am firmly on the fence with regards to his innocence or guilt. Morris had nothing to lose by requesting the dna was tested. Not his good chance of getting his conviction overturned. If it turned out to be his...well he would just stay where he is.He has got to running out of avenues to have his conviction looked at again. |  | |  |

He "knows" nothing different from the rest of us. He wasn't in that courtroom. He just types paragraph after paragraph, makes loads of assumptions, then criticises others for doing the same. The YYY poster has called out some of his so called facts as rubbish. It's funny how we align ourselves to those that we deem to be on "our side". |  |

Clydach murders on 19:30 - Oct 28 by exhmrc1 | The defence tried to suggest it could be her not the prosecution. They had already ruled her out and ended up making apologies. The bottom line remains. Morris has been found guilty. He claims he didnt do it. This is nothing to do with the Lewis family but you keep raising things like where did the policeman go missing for hours or who had the ability to use a pole or who had the forensic knowledge to clean up. None of these alter the fact. Morris was found guilty and it is whether he is guilty or not and the Lewis family are not involved in that. For example the Inspectors actions whatever he did has nothing to do with the verdict. It might well be wrong and a disciplinary matter but doesnt mean he committed murder. |
In the judges summing up of the case he said to the jury they had seen the murder in the witness box...so yes it is them or him. If he guilty he's guilty,but if he's not it is one or a combination of the three Lewis's. So the issues surrounding the lewis are very much relevant to the case. If morris is innocent at least some of the lewis are gulity.in the same respect if all three Lewis are innocent,then mirrus is gulity. There is no unknown party that could be the murder with this case |  | |  |

How do you know he knows nothing different to the rest of us ? Unless he's stated earlier in the thread, how do you know he wasn't in the courtroom ? And yes, people do align to those we deem to be on our side, we all do it quite often. |  |

I may be wrong, but to me that is a clear direction from the judge who has heard all the evidence, for the jury to find him guilty. |  | |  |

It wasnt a borderline conviction. It was 2 unanimous verdicts. That it was the defence who tried to claim the Lewis family were the murderers is included in this article from the BBC at the time. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/wales/2061112.stm |  | |  |

That is shocking from the judge, to tell the jury you have seen the murderer in the box when only one of them was on trial, with the case being 10 times, a 100 times or a 1000 times more about Morris (as he was on trial) than the others. There was even said to be unidentified DNA knocking about, I haven't seen the words miss trial be used as regards the second case but that does not sound like that is fair or good practice to me. |  |

There could have been a lot of people’s dna in that house. There seems to have been a lot of shagging going on in there. Which is not a criticism by the way. |  |

That was Morris' defence teams claim. He has to put that to the jury. Otherwise he would have had to rule their evidence inadmissable which no doubt you and others would then say was unfair. The Lewis family were not trial Morris was yet his defence team tried to make out they were. Guess what the juries rejected the defence claim and found him guilty. It is absolutely disgusting that anybody should be allowed to try to make someone guilty who wasnt charged and that would apply to anyone not just the Lewis family. The defence team tried everything but it failed. |  | |  |

Again you are wrong Morris was given a whole life sentence like many others. It was decided in the European Courts that there had to be fixed term sentences and that whole life sentences werent acceptable. Hence the judges changed his appeal to a fixed term like in many other cases. |  | |  |
