I hadn't heard of this, so I followed the link and read the article. Did this Bailey guy ever explain his scratches and strange behavior following the murder?

Yes, it’s a fascinating case:
A prime suspect who was found guilty in France and sentenced to 25 years imprisonment, but who cannot be extradited because the Irish DPP considers there is insufficient evidence to even charge him with the crime.
A witness who originally placed the suspect close to the murder scene on the night of the murder, but then recanted her evidence saying she had been pressured to give it by the police.
A crucial piece of forensic evidence - a farm gate covered with blood smears - that went missing.
And above all, a suspect who confessed to the crimes and then claimed his confessions were merely examples of black humour.
The way Blair kept himself involved in the case by making his confessions, writing articles about the murder and attempting to sue the Irish and British press and the Irish police is very strange. If he is guilty, which seems highly likely, he’s a perfect example of a murderer involving himself in the investigation of his crime.

I know of the case living in Ireland for past 13 years.
it is a famous case. But I confess I have not paid it too much attention.
The general consensus from conversations I’ve had with others is that most people believe he is guilty and it was because of police incompetence he was not charged.

Death of Sophie Toscan du Plantier
Is anyone familiar with this case?
I only came across it recently while researching the area of West Cork where the murder took place. I’m now avidly looking for any info I can find on the case. From what I’ve seen and read so far (two documentary series and numerous press reports) I think the culprit is pretty obviously the main suspect in the case, Ian Bailey. If he is guilty, then the way he behaved in the aftermath of the murder is very strange.
