Learning from mistakes? Or making worse ones!

ADDENDUM: In the forenoon of November 25, 2011, police discovered human remains near the place indicated by Adrian Prout. Neither recovery nor forensic identification has begun.
...........................................................................

The latest situation with Adrian Prout is that his long-suffering fiancee insisted he take a polygraph test. The examiner informed him that he had clearly failed the polygraph examination whereupon Adrian Prout made statements acknowledging that the test results were not incorrect. The polygraph examiner immediately contacted both prison and police officials as well as his client, the prisoner's fiancee.

Adrian Prout was taken from the prison to the farm on which he and his "missing" wife had been living and has indicated certain areas which will be subjected soon to extensive forensic excavation.

During these trying times, the Wrongfully Convicted Persons forum in the UK dealing with the innocence of Adrian Prout and the possible intention of his wife to have Adrian subjected to a false prosecution for her murder has been removed.

Although I understand the need for tact at distressing times, the over riding concern should be the truth. The truth is that Adrian Prout was not a wrongfully accused person but was instead a rightfully accused person and rightfully convicted of the murder of his wife. The views held by Adrian Prout's many supporters were incorrect. The diary entries made by the wife were not intentionally misleading. Her actions were not indicative of an intent to disappear and have the authorities wrongfully charge Adrian with murder.

There comes a time for things to be properly analyzed and classified and for such proper regard to be publicly acknowledged. This proper respect for the truth is not aided by an advocacy group attempting to sweep a mistake under the rug. No later acknowledgement in the dead of night can make up for the advocacy group's shameful attempt to avoid the limelight.

All those who reviewed the facts and reached certain conclusions have a right to read their statements from the past and see where and why they went wrong. No one will deny that the fiancee will soon be receiving distressing news from the police in charge of the forensic dig. No one denies that those who supported Adrian Prout will be upset. If those supporters are men of courage who wish to have respect in their community, then those supporters will be the first to say let the truth be known. Those who seek some respectful pause and then an official white-wash ceremony in the dead of night are not people with tact, they are simply cowards with an excuse.

I posted there. I thought the diary entries seemed suspiciously concocted. It seems I was wrong. She did not "go missing". She was murdered. I mean no offense in saying this and I seek no shelter from criticism for my having believed she had intentionally gone missing.
