He very clearly initially felt that the ‘no’ came from number 29 but was HONEST enough to admit that there was a slight possibility that it could have come from elsewhere. Being honest indicates…….you guessed it, honesty. So if he was a liar and just trying to push his lie he would have said “the ‘no’ came from number 29…no doubt.” So you are denigrating a witness because he proved himself honest. Brilliant!
After hearing the ‘no’ and believing that it came from number 29 Richardson was now alerted to their being someone in that yard. Expecting that it was nothing more than one of the occupants. So he was already primed. Then the provably honest Cadosch hears the noise and this time he has absolutely no doubt. A disconnected voice is difficult to pin down (especially a short sound) but a specific noise, made against a specific item isn’t. He was standing right next to the fence. Could he have been mistaken about this? Absolutely not. Did Cadosch have any reason to lie about the noise (especially after being honest about the ‘No?’) Absolutely not.
What you and Trevor are doing is saying - well Cadosch was an honest man when he admitted that he could have been mistaken about the ‘No.’ But he became a dishonest person when he heard the noise.
…….
And what else could the noise have been if the body was already there? Be serious for a change. No one could have innocently been in that yard while there was a steaming, mutilated corpse lying there. It wasn’t a blind man or an emu or drone or a ghost. It has to have been connected to the murder. Clearly everyone at the time believed that he’d heard the killer.
There can be absolutely no doubt at all that Cadosch heard the killer. To say otherwise just reeks of bias. Forget trying to get Grandfather Gull into the yard and read and study the evidence.
