[edit] Neutrality
Please read this article if you have not already. There are many declarations of Evans' unequivocal "innocence" and that his trial WAS, in fact, a "miscarriage of justice". Do you feel that this article needs to be touched-up so that the POV is more neutral? --Schmendrick (talk) 15:13, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
- I don't think anyone disputes that this case was a miscarriage of justice, so POV is irrelevant. The neutrality tag should be deleted unless you want to claim otherwise. In fact it is the miscarriage of justice case which swung the public behind the abolition of capital punishment. If you still feel that he was guilty, please bring your facts or POV to this discussion page! Peterlewis (talk) 16:03, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
Isn't the fact that there's no conclusive evidence for Christie's guilt enough to make claims otherwise POV? While my hunch is that Christie was the murderer of Evans's wife and baby, the fact that it can't be definitively proven means we must be careful what we say about him. Strong assertions of Evans's innocence will I think violate NPOV because of the remaining uncertainty in the case.Wikischolar1983 (talk) 03:06, 31 May 2008 (UTC)

- Circumstantial evidence such as the forensics point quite clearly to Christie as the one and only killer. Is there any other evidence that points to Evans at all? The alleged confession was forced and thus false.Peterlewis (talk) 04:30, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
