Perhaps Stolly but here was an inquest.

I imagine it would be much different in an adversarial court hearing where the prosecution were on one side and on the other were RO, UKA and FRA.

I think that the point made by Wynn and AI (and now others are coming forward who seem to have knowledge on the matter )is that in the inquest it was felt that UKA/FRA adopted a position of "it was him".

If that was the case it should concern us. It must also have been very harrowing for the RO involved if that is the case, as what the RO felt was part of the support network turned out to not to be so supportive.
