                                       More "tricks" are found in the Watson case.


With the gold 2-hair evidence now tarnished by time and science, there is the chance to continue to investigate further alleged evidence against Scott by firstly adding it to the demise of the hair evidence that the RPOM reviewer (Sir Graham: SG) set aside, as he did with the hatch cover scratches and "neutralise" the secret prison informer evidence.
That's a big start that Scott has never had before. As mentioned, recently I have been going over evidence not heard by the Jury that includes the scow the Alliance which the Crown said was the "ketch" witnesses saw at Furneaux Lodge. One witness, a naiad driver actually identified the Alliance in a first statement/job sheet as well as the MK. He drew the MK as can be seen in the Doubt doco where he is shown in footage giving evidence.
The witness had eventually changed his account dramatically. His new account apparently passed all scrutiny - except for at least 2 things. The Alliance had a "dog house" steering cabin at the extreme aft of the boat which was 2metres high. He saw a couple of people sitting on the "dog house" when there was a party going on around midnight.
When amongst the 50 or so people who saw the suspect ketch many described its cabin as low, to the stern but forward of the rear of the boat where the couple was seen sitting. None of those people described a dog house which no international ketch of any era had. Nor was there room between the dog house and the aft end of the boat for 2 people to sit.
It's clear the naiad driver was indeed mistaken between the Alliance and the MK on which someone could easily sit on the cabin with their feet on stable wood below them and able to get to their feet by simply standing, also a place where a couple could be sitting behind the low cabin whilst the boat traveled throughout the Sounds noticed by a number of witnesses. Some witnesses also said that the couple sat with their hands behind their backs. By a twist of bad luck some of those statements were "lost", but the record of them being given to police remains.

Tricks like this will never be used in the Watson case again in the rare likelihood it is simply not just thrown out, but rather returns for a retrial where the Crown case will be ripped to bits.
