Sophie: A Murder in West Cork - Netflix.

Your demand for a perfect description of the suspect from Marie makes no sense. She probably wasn`t standing at the window staring at the loiterer across the street. She had at least one customer in her shop at the time. Marie is a shortie, to her 5`10 is tall. The difference between 5`10 and 6`4 is less than the physical length of your post....from across the street....c`mon. Bailey is sallow skinned. Is today, clearly was back then. Cap...beret...hat...headgear. You see a guy outside your shop, you see him again on the road the next morning. Oh there`s that man I saw yesterday. Now Marie, can you please think hard and give us his accurate height and describe exactly what he was wearing when he was outside your shop five days ago?

Williams saw Bailey across the street from Sophie, probably within minutes of Farrell`s sighting. Bailey was on the Airhill Road that Farrell was driving on at approximately the same time the following morning. She said it was the same man and she didn`t know Bailey at that time. How unlucky can a guy be?

He drives up Hunts Hill on the night of the murder, mulls over going up Sophie`s laneway, predicts something is about to happen. He goes home, asks Jules to come with him up Sophie`s laneway. She`s too tired, so he goes to bed, but he then gets up, leaves the house. In the hours he is missing from his bed, Sophie, that nice lady who lives up that laneway, is battered to death. How unlucky can a guy be?

He has a bloodied scratch on his head the next morning that nobody has seen before. Witnesses testify that he and Jules knew about Sophie`s death before they were actually told about it. Witnesses testify that he knew and met Sophie and yet he denies it. He buys bleach on Xmas eve, burns cloths, footwear and a mattress over Xmas. Just how unlucky can a guy be?

He tells several people he killed Sophie. How unlu..... actually nah, not bad luck, that`s just In Vino Veritas.

He sues a number of newspapers for what he considers to be their unfair coverage of him. But 20 separate witnesses stand before the judge and under oath, contradict various aspects of his testimony. Come on now folks...how unlucky can he be?

There just comes a tipping point.

I see you are already repeating your 'loitering' claim which was already discredited. You admitted yesterday this was a fiction you invented.

It's the difference between someone who is tall and well over average height - or not.

She didn't just get his height wrong in inches, she got his height wrong categorically and relative to her husband.

Someone who is describing Bailey who doesn't describe him as tall - isn't describing Bailey. We're not looking for a perfect description. This isn't an imperfect description, it is flat out wrong.

Yet magically she can identify people in the dark on the side of the road from a moving car.

She'd never seen Bailey on the main street of the small town she runs a shop on... despite his frequent visits including into her shop. And yet magically saw him three times over the course of the same weekend? How lucky can she be?

Witnesses testify he had the scratches before the murder from a busy day killing turkeys and cutting down a christmas tree. Witnesses further testify the scratches healed up quickly suggesting light scratches not deep briar cuts. If he got cuts at the murder scene why is there zero forensic evidence putting him there?

Half of West Cork probably knew about the murder before they were 'supposed' to.

All of this has been dealt with and discredited by the DPP, three of them, who know a thing or two about real evidence and none of them put Bailey forward for trial.

The judge in the libel case was the same judge who gave astonishingly light sentence to one of the witnesses, Leo Bolger. Astonishingly light considering the sentences he handed out for similar offences. The judge also ruled much of the defence evidence, including the former DPPs! on procedural grounds.

How unlucky were all the innocent people who have ended up in prison through miscarriages of justice across the globe?

May not be a first post. One individual has posted under at least four different handles on these threads previously.

Local turns up at local event. And in our next amazing news story ... water is wet 🙄

It still surprises me that this "how can you find this place without a sat nav" is still going on.

I still have no sat nav and found it with ease and I am certainly no local.

Maybe somebody can paste the full article, I don't have access to it.

A map.

I admit I didn't find it straight away, but if you go on a hunch and a bit of common sense thinking you'll find it.

There are only a limited number of options between Kaelfadda Bridge and Dunmanus. Two or three wrong turns, turn around the car, but you'll get there.

I wouldn't want to say, any fool can find it, but anybody with a sense of direction and ability to think on ones feet can do it with considerable ease.
