Just the way she wrote it I guess... After going out with a writer for about a year I have become quite a critic. Oh well...

Case is still open. He retired. C'mon, name another person in the World that has an arrest/cases investigated success ratio in the homicide/serial killer department that can even compare to his. I have faith in him. He is excellent at his job. I am glad he has taken on this case.

It's a relevant analogy.

I'm not suggesting he is not a good detective. I don't actually know his record apart from the handful of very public cases he has resolved, but by all accounts he is a good sleuth. You guys seem to expect him to be able to solve every case he gets though, which is a bit hero worshipping.

Reading some of the posts in here I thought the same thing. I have also heard and read that he had an excellent team working for him at the SAPS.
Why ?
How is it relevant ? From what I understand double jeopardy means one persons can't be trialled for the same crime twice. But other people can still be trialled for the crime.
Yes. That is exactly how I meant it. I'm implying something if you're wondering...

So even after Fred van der Vyver has been found not guilty AND won a case against SAPS for malicious prosecution you STILL think he got away with murder ???? Wow !

He could still have committed the murder, but the police botched it. I'm not saying he did - he was found not guilty that's different to being found innocent.

There's no such thing as being found innocent. The concept does not exist in law.

So you think he did it? HIGHLY unlikely.
The security (entrance/exit) records at his place of work shows he was there the entire afternoon.
Triangulation done on his cellphone shows he was not near Stellenbosch that afternoon.
All evidence points to him being in CT all afternoon during the time the murder was committed.
You HAVE to go with such evidence.
"Every accused person has a right to a fair trial, which includes the right ... not to be tried for an offence in respect of an act or omission for which that person has previously been either acquitted or convicted ...
— Constitution of the Republic of South Africa, 1996, s. 35(3)(m)"
Has Fred been acquitted?

I concede in the face of such overwhelming evidence
I wasn't talking in law. I was talking in terms of whether or not he did it OJ style.
How are you making the distinction between the two?
From my recollection, yes.

It is always a legal question; it cannot be anything else.
From what I have read, it does seem that she was very likely murdered by someone she knew. Just not Fred.

Because you can be found not guilty in court even when you committed the crime.
But in this case, you are the one making the distinction. Within the context of your statement, you are coming to conclusions that just don't seem logical...

What could he have possibly observed in the flat 7 years after the fact?
this is a psychological ploy to get a reaction from the killer.
once the seed of suspicion is planted its only a matter of time before he cracks and then does something stupid.
case closed.
