eRoyton Interview #1 - Susan May - THIS FRIDAY (Page 16 of 21)

Lisa .. you are a lovely person ....   

Your like super woman

Why shouldn't she be compensated for the injustice done and the years spent in prison? If found innocent she wouldn't be entitled to something surely?

I rarely follow through with my ideas. They get stuck at stage 1. I refer you to the open top tour of Royton which got stuck at the stage of completing the guestlist. Also, the pool competition which got stuck at the 1st stage where the draw was made but no games played. Then there is the weekly photography competition which stopped after the 1st week.  I could go on. After susan's interview she gave mr contact details of how would be a good person to interview next, it was the park warden from Tandle Hills who she said knows a lot about Royton

I have made a forum for the people of Royton. It is part of my job to stimulate debate about local issues or at least to put the facility in place for other members to stimulate debate amongst Roytoners. Susan May's case is a very interesting subject to discuss, she has a very interesting story to tell and her case opens up many interesting lines of debate. That's why I chose to approach her. I was not approached by her or anyone from FOSM. Nobody ever breathed a word about the idea until I approached Susan directly.

She is on the telly and in the news quite often when there is a new development. I am happy to state that I didn't plan the interview to coincide with anything else. It was just a standalone interview to spark discussion amongst eRoytoners about a local resident who's case I felt deserved a 2nd look. As chief editor, that's my prerogative If anyone wants to conduct their own interview on here with a police chief I'd be very happy for that to happen.

I haven't checked back but I'm pretty sure this topic had gone very quiet until Coxxy bumped it back up and the debate kicked in again. I'm fairly certain that coxxy isn't a member of FOSM

You're entitled to that opinion of course but you don't seem to have reached it based on the evidence. You've reached it on an idealistic level where you have placed all of your faith in the system to convict and maintain the conviction of all guilty people. You aren't engaging specifically with the long list of evidence that wasn't presented to the jury. You haven't engaged with the farce of the blood issue, you haven't engaged with the CCRC which identified many areas of malpractise and many other concerns and gave it's opinion that she had a good chance of having her conviction overturned.

It would be really interesting if you would finish this sentence, "I believe susan has been proven guilty beyond reasonable doubt due to the following key pieces of evidence..."

So because I still think she is guilty are you saying that makes me narrow minded, or ignorant perhaps?

Well the very things that you criticise me for can therefore be said of you then.  You have stated above that you support Susan all the way and you believe in her innocence.  You are determined to stick to what you think you know and you don't want to know any different.   Why is it ok for you to think like this but it is wrong or a "waste of time" when I do?

I presume you have come to this opinion after reading all of the available case documents and all of the responses to posts on this forum?  I can tell you now that I came into this original debate open minded, with no prior knowledge of the case and nobody else's personal opinions clouding my judgement.  I have thoroughly read every case note possible (albeit mainly the ones provided in support of the case) and I have read all of the subsequent responses and conspiracy theories.  I have cogitated the information and have reached my decision.   I have read several posts that have initially made me reconsider and I have researched them further. 

However, my opinion is unchanged.  I'm sorry if that doesn't fit in with your opinion but that's free will for you.

Try not to bang your head too hard

A little humour at the end ,,,,  love it 

But if you HAD to... what would it look like in writing

you're right though. We're a credit to ourselves

I don't remember that the last time I was on eroyton I was talking about Susan but I only got involved this time because my wife dragged me in when the forum had turned to discussing the bloody fingerprints issue.   That is how I got involved with Susan's case originally - my wife fussing and fretting over the top German forensic scientist report.  At that it was being said that his findings proved the prosecution's case and at one point that did seem to be the case - the third stain MSN 14 did seem to be in the deceased blood.   But as I read the report I observed that the first stain JH1, the only stain with a fingerprint in it had tested negative for blood of any kind.   Surely that was a positive for Susan yet no one on her team was picking up on it.   And so I was hooked.   I was out to find the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth, and I promise you, going off Susan's case, this is a very low priority in the British courts.

My perusal of the documentation I have read on Susan's case has been honest and I guess I have presented enough on this forum to cause the staunchest believer in the British justice system to make sure they get the best available counsel if they are ever to appear before it.   So I will leave you with just a couple of final thoughts to cogitate on.

At about midnight on the night of the murder the young man Daniel was in his front upstairs bedroom in the house next to where Susan's aunt lived when he heard the sound of voices outside and went to the window to have a look.   He saw no people but only a red car with its lights out and its engine running parked outside the house where the murder took place.   He went back to listening to his music.   About 15 minutes later he heard the car pull away, its engine making a spluttering sound until it finally kicked in.   The police claimed they never found the car (a claim that we now know to be untrue) or its occupants.   The question I would like the dark side to try to answer is, who were those people, where did they go and what were they doing for 15 minute at around midnight on the night that an old ladies body would be found beaten to death 9 hours later?

The second question I leave you with is, found on the hand of the deceased were some clothing fibres, they did not match any of either Susan's or her aunt's clothes.   Where do you think those clothing fibres came from and to whom do you think they belonged?

Susan's very clever and very expensive QC never thought to inform the jury about these things or suggest that maybe the murder had been committed by and unknown person or persons.
