The trial of Robert Black has been on for a few weeks now and I was slightly bemused by the prosecutions lack of progress over the course of the trial so far.  All they were seemed intent on proving was that Black was in Northern Ireland near the crime scene around the time of the murder, which is surely nowhere near enough to convict him for murder.  I see they also revealed his past crimes, which were sickening.  I though this was not allowed, with Robert Howards past not allowed to be revealed during the Arlene Arkinson murder trial.  I hope that Black rots in hell for what he has been convicted of doing, but it seems that the prosecution in this murder trial are basing their case so far on circumstantial evidence.
