I always thought he was guilty but seeing this news yesterday made me go back and look up an article on the case. What I remember most is the media reporting that was all angled to make him look guilty.
I also tend towards people don't really remember things as they claim to but they say it once to the police and then get nervous about back tracking bc they don't want to get in trouble for lying.
Then there are details to paint the person as suspicious like random questions and snippets of larger conversations.
He had a lot of affairs. Maybe the new evidence is from someone he met up with that day like maybe a prostitute and he didn't want to admit that right away to the police bc it would make him look bad so he stuck with the story about fishing. Sometimes people just don't want to get involved with criminal cases so they never come forward and keep their mouth shut.
It will be interesting to see what the new evidence is.
