One of Chris Dawson’s defence team’s main arguments has been that the cops decided that he was guilty a long time ago, and refused to accept any other possibility, thus tainting the (belated) investigation into Lyn Dawson’s death. Judge Harrison swats that proposition away like a fly. Even if the police were biased against Dawson, […]

The Judge has just rejected all evidence of domestic violence that Chris Dawson may have perpetrated against Lyn. Their relationship was fine until Joanne Dawson came on the scene he says. Then all changed, changed utterly, and a terrible beauty was born. And here we are. That is all Dawson’s fault the judge says, without […]

Judge Harrison finds that simply because Chris Dawson wanted to leave his wife to be with another woman doesn’t mean that he wanted to kill her. Not beyond a reasonable doubt anyway. There needs to be more, the Judge said. The jury is still out. It always has been. Chris Dawson may have been better […]

The Crown adjourns for lunch. Chris Dawson looks destined for a life sentence. He has only glimmers of hope. Very slim ones at that. But where there is life there is hope. I’d still be getting my toothbrush ready.

There was no hitman, the judge says. It’s all bullshit. Witness Robert Silkman – the one we exclusively outed as a criminal – is lying. Joanne Curtis is making it up as she goes. The whole hitman thing as a crock. I’ve told you that from day one. But does it matter? There is only […]

The judge says that Lyn Dawson didn’t walk away. He says Chris Dawson’s lawyer did not argue any other alternative possibility, other than a vague and unbelievable reference to suicide. What that means is that there is only one reasonable way by which Lyn Dawson died. Chris Dawson killed her.

Judge Harrison has just found that the Teacher was rooting the Pet when she was under-age. He is not hearing the carnal knowledge, but it is obvious that Dawson will be found guilty of that charge by whichever judge is. Not that it matters. Dawson’s going down for murder. He is going to jail for […]

The Judge has just said that Lyn Dawson was dead in 1982. And that she didn’t kill herself. Or leave home voluntarily. Goodnight nurse.

We’ve already had Chris Dawson’s sister’s evidence dismissed as lies by the judge. Since then he’s discounted that of the 99-year-old Elva McBey, who said she spotted Lyn at a parade for the visit of Chares and Di. Mrs McBey was well meaning, but mistaken he said. Peter and Jill Breese, the one-time neighbour of […]

The Judge is in the middle of demolishing the evidence of Chris Dawson’s brother-in-law Ross Hutcheon, who said that he saw Lyn Dawson at a bus stop after her death. It is totally untrue the Judge Harrison says. Made up to protect Dawson. Hutcheon is lucky he is dead, otherwise he would almost certainly be […]
