Day 87 - Wednesday 10th June 2020

Location: London, UK COVID-19 / Coronavirus Outbreak Lockdown Channel 4 have broadcast a documentary over 4 nights this week on the Falconio and Lee's case.  For the unitiated,  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder_of_Peter_Falconio Now I love a good investigation into a previously "solved" crime.  I've watched all 20 plus hours of "Making a Murderer" on Netflix, as well as "The Staircase".  I've also listened to the Serial podcast about Adnan Syed and I've read far too much about Marilyn Monroe's "suicide" to believe it to be so - maybe I'll write a longer post about that one. It's possible that I'm inclined to believe people and give them the benefit of the doubt, but in all the above mentioned cases, I personally don't believe they have the right person in jail. A jury is only supposed to convict when they are "beyond all reasonable doubt" and I think that there is more than reasonable doubt...

Day 70 - Sunday 24th May 2020

Location: London, UK COVID-19 / Coronavirus Outbreak Lockdown I'm kind of done with the news at this point. I check in every now and then and Twitter is good for the highlights, but there isn't really any "news" is there?  It's just sad figures, thousands of people - friends and relations who have died or it's people flouting the rules who seem to think they are above contagion. What concerns me is that there must be other stuff happening.  People are still working, albeit in their pyjamas at home.  There IS other news and it's not being reported.  What's going on under the radar that when we get through this, we will discover has happened?  I felt the same about Brexit - at least half of news broadcasts for 3 years were about bloody Brexit.  What else was occurring? I know that's a bit conspiracy theorist but I stand by it.
