Oh it's this guy....that explains it....

No...it doesn't.
Judges are human and make mistakes. That is why our system has appeals.
And if you think the totality of the evidence of the former Chief Medical Examiner was a superficial 'I don't believe it was' then that probably explains your post.
Look, maybe the Crown will appeal and the result will be overturned again. I have not read Justice Clackson's reasons yet...but then neither have you. I would say at least do that before you suggest he is incompetent or worse (whichever you were intending to imply).
