For a long time, the Watson case has been a series of loose ends indicating innocence. That has been taken advantage of by the prosecuting police and the Crown, The more the issues favouring Scott have been isolated the longer he was able to be presented as guilty. There is a simple reason for that which can be presented as a person holding funds in different ways, say a car, a house, money in the bank and shares but despite that - in each of those respects the person was seen as poor because those things were not added together for a single total.
Translating that analogy to Scott's case shows there are many deposits in his favour, public opinion and concern or doubt, Scott never having been seen with Ben or Olivia, no sign of the couple being on his boat the Blade, a suspect ketch, more than 1 mystery man seen in Furneaux lodge that night and traced, the impossibility of time for the trip from Endeavour Inlet, to Cook Strait then back to Eerie Bay, positive sightings of the couple alive after it was claimed they were dead - particularly sightings of the suspect ketch on the way to and at Mapua with the couple still alive after New Year's day, the confusion of the suspect ketch with the Seswalker at Mapua, the ridiculous evidence of the prison stoolies, the revelations that police had hidden evidence by deleting it from statements, "lost" photos of the suspect ketch, the positioning and sighting of the suspect ketch entering, anchoring and leaving Endeavour Inlet, the utter destruction of the forensic evidence, the failure of the extensive forensic searches of Scott's boat the Blade to show either Ben or Olivia had been aboard, the failure of the Crown to have witnesses showing that they were aboard or witnesses sayiing they heard them going aboard despite that the Blade was rafted up to 2 other boats with many people aboard including some whom spoke with Scott who wanted to continue to party, the evidence of the suspect ketch leaving early on New Years Day around the time a scream was heard, Scott's departure noted by Reg McManaway as later around 7.30 with a verbal communication between the 2.
These are only a dozen or so of the things deposited to Scott's innocence - when read together, as they always should have been, and as the Law requires, they are a complete narrative of innocence. For supporters of Scott or those interested in the case never let the pearls of Scott's innocence be seen alone, join them together and fully understand his innocence.
