It's just that we all know he was released on a technicality, so I've never worked on a case that explored more possibilities, sir. We should have told them this was a possibility.Īlice Moffat: What would we have said, Rob? Just what?Ĭhief: It's not just a question of having an open mind, DCI Beech.ĭCI Beech: We have to be seen to have one. Rob Moffat: We should have been more honest with the children. I want my wife's real killer found, I want those that lied brought to book, and I want my children back. I've had seven years of my life stolen, and now I want justice. I will expose them for what they have put me through. They lied for their own ends, and if they are watching this now, I want them to know that I will expose them. And more important than that, much worse, was that ordinary people lied. Why? Because of the Forensic Science Service's criminal negligence and because of a police investigation that bent every bit of evidence to fit a theory that was clearly wrong. Overnight, I lost my wife, I lost my liberty, and, most importantly, I lost my kids. Reporter 10: Will you be suing them for negligence? Will you be suing the police?ĭavid Collins: Seven years ago I was sent to prison for something that I did not do, for a terrible crime that I did not commit. Reporter 9: What would you like to say to Tara's family? Reporter 8: What would you like to say to your sister-in-law, David? I'm gonna get our car to come round the back. Reporter 7: Are you looking for anyone else? Reporter 6: Are there any other suspects? Reporter 4: DCI Beech, what is your reaction to Mr Collins's release?ĭCI Beech: My thoughts right now are with Tara Collins' family - her mum, her dad and her sister.ĭCI Beech: We'll be reviewing all the evidence we have. Reporter 3: Do you still think he did it, Alice? Reporter 1: How are you feeling about your brother-in-law? Court will now adjourn.Īlice Moffat: You killed her, you back-stabber! You murdered my sister! It's not fair.

As such, given this was the third trial for the same offence, you are now formally acquitted of all charges and are free to leave. Having consulted with the prosecution in anticipation of such an outcome, it is my duty to tell you, Mr Collins, that the prosecution intend to offer no further evidence. Judge: In which case, I am obliged to call the trial to a halt and discharge you, the jury.
Judge: Do you think if I gave you more time you would be able to reach a verdict on which at least ten of you agreed? Judge: Have you reached a verdict on which at least ten of you agree? This is the script for The Irelanders' Adventures of Innocent.
