She may have blackmailed him?

We just don't know.

Something that I thought about when all this 'kicked off' at the start.

I don't doubt there has been some very wrong doings on JS's part: I also refer back (not to you, but everyone) to 'Microscope's' post a few pages back - ..... things are different now than they were 30/40 plus years ago.

There's no real use crying over spilled milk ..... the laws then, were not as they are now..... and we should be thankful that in that respect, we as a society have moved on and do now deal with such things.

I do very much feel that given the change of attitudes and laws over the decades that have passed: something you actually mentioned Kizzy: 'lessons need to be learned'. yes, they do.

But dredging up a dead man who cannot defend themselves in any way shape or form I do not think is the correct way to move forward.

By all means: the investigation should take place, and lessons should be learned from that based on the recommendations. Though as I say: society and what is now regarded as acceptable compared to in the 60s/70s/80s etc - is a world away from where we are now, in 2012.
