it left me feeling a little empty and sad, I changed my mind multiple times about whether he is the killer, if he is, he will never do time for it, I feel the family were let down badly by the Guards very early on, they put all their eggs in one basket and it appears interfered with witnesses to get a conviction, Marie Farrell retracting her statement, and the guy they paid off to befriend him all helps Baileys case, I am not sure he or Jules Thomas are stable enough to have kept the murder to themselves all this time, also there didn't seem to be a motive other than that it gave him work, then the French accepting Marie Farrells first statement and not accepting her offer to go to France to attend the trial, it felt again like they were doing anything they could to be a guilty verdict, her poor parents and her son, it's all very sad and will we ever know the truth, Jules leaving Bailey finally was the only high point for me

…I feel incredibly sad for her son and her parents because two horrendous crimes have been committed in her brutal death but also in the absence of justice for it….

…It’s a difficult thing because with some of the things that I originally read with the case…(…which may or may not be true…)…I thought that I’d read that he had, had and kept photographs of ‘beaten up women’ and was quite obsessed with violent death…there seem to have been accounts that weren’t shown in the series….and there is going to be another series in a few days time and that might show a different perspective again….I do agree with what was said at the end in that Ian Bailey has ‘created his own guilt’ in this by his actions and words etc at the beginning… and being egotistical enough to ‘mock himself as the killer if he didn’t do it…’…. He’s created his own nightmare world and his own personal prison…
…and still he had very little thought for Sophie’s family and their life prison, it was all about him….when he referred to Sophie as ‘that woman’…awful….


…I am a little suspicious of her husband at the time as well…I know that he had an alibi but he could have had someone else commit the crime …I think he’s dead now, I’m not sure…?….

…in anyways, I doubt that there will ever be accountability and justice sadly…

I found it particularly poignant that her son still had her coat on the hook and her tea,

…I know, she was everything in his life as she and his father had separated when he was a baby and for 14yrs she had been his life’s happiness and then it all became such a sadness…I guess that one thing if any small light can be taken at all is that I read that Pierre became closer with his father again…
