The impression so far is that the lads in Cork didn’t want to listen to technical bureau lads from Dublin - also Dublin was a seven hour drive away in Christmas traffic and it was day before Christmas Eve so Dublin lads and Professor Harbison weren’t delighted to have to head down
It’s sort of suggested one lad so far but no more than that. She’d been having an affair that ended two years earlier but the husband and ex boyfriend were in France.
I watched a bit of Sheridan’s documentary. The forensics results were mad - only Sophie’s blood at scene and on a gate and a clump of hair under her finger nails who was not Bailey’s. Sophie’s blood only the door of the house, but un disturbed inside. A theory was that killer was forensically aware yet left the rock and the block by her body.
It’s almost like there was so much contaminating going on that they said fuck it, we can use any so we’ll just say it was all hers.
Was she a headbanger or a woman pushed to the edge by an inept local Garda force who wanted a conviction by any means,major cock up right from the get go
I was going to say, i watched the first few minutes last night and it opened with something like “Jim Sheridan has had a huge interest in the case for the last 25 years” or Jim Sheridan has had a huge interest in the case since he realised he could get paid to make a documentary out of it
It suits people to use her craziness now to dismiss genuinely good public interest journalism back in the day. Doorstepping Callinan got her fired and we had to read about it in the guardian for example.
