David Morris was an innocent man, and made a scapegoat for the real perpetrators, south Wales police.
Innnocent poor man justice will prevail 💚💛
David Morris is an innocent man, any fool in there right minds can see this, there is more evidence that this man didn’t do this crime , just unlock it for the public to see.
Dai Morris did not receive a fair trial! How could he prove his innocence if all the evidence that was pointing to other people responsible, was withheld by SWP at the trial!
Both families deserve to know the truth. The real culprits, and we know who they are, deserve to spend the rest of their lives behind bars for this horrific crime.
David morris' case definitely needs to be re-investigated. As a normal member of the public who has followed this case for many years along with thousands of others, it is very clear that David was used as a scapegoat to cover the tracks of active police force workers and their family member. Every piece of evidence and all information including witness statements and edits should be allocated to a completely different police force or even a specialist team who are not linked to South Wales police to start afresh. 4 lives were very sadly and savagely lost on the night of this vicious attack, however another life was was taken by wrongful conviction at the same time.
