whatsoever has been made by Sussex Police to re-open the
investigation. It is, after all , cheaper and more convenient to
allow a mist of ambiguity to linger over the case.

The Experts
In July 2004 the original scientific evidence was shown to have such
serious deficiencies that Siôn Jenkins’ conviction was deemed
unsafe, and his second appeal succeeded.
By the end of the second retrial, when that evidence had twice again
been robustly challenged by the defence, the prosecution was almost
dismissing its significance, and urging the jury instead to ‘look
at the whole picture’—rather a vague basis for a verdict.
