(62,325 posts)years ago and the case had not been solved, or, the person accused, as happens often in this country these days, turned out to be innocent and the case became a 'cold case'.
Cold cases have been solved decades after the fact, with new technology etc. When this has happened it has cleared the names of innocent people and provided finally, a sense of justice being done, to the victims and their descendents.
Do you think we should just ignore the ramifications to the innocent and their descendants and allow the historical record which casts a nasty shadow over them, to stand?
Many people have been accused of being involved in the JFK assassination due to the weakness of the Government's findings, and of course the murder of the accused which struck many people as way too convenient and who can blame them?
Should history sort this out so that those upon suspicion has been case are finally exonerated?
Would YOU like to go down in history as a suspect in a crime as heinous as this? I know I wouldn't even if it mattered only to me.
The fact is a majority of the people do not accept the WC findings. That means the Government failed to make its case. If it had been before a jury, it would have failed.
Seems to me that TRUTH is important no matter how inconvenient it may be for a nation to feel confident in its government.
