Thanks Derrick. So Lincoln was there throughout the testing, including when the results were presented to Bindman.
On 3-Apr-01 Bindman gave his reaction to the press on the results and raised the contamination theory.
I cannot find any statement from Lincoln about the case after he left it. I seem to recall another poster suggesting that he left because his advice was that the DNA proved Hanratty's guilt; the appellant was then left with a mad scramble to find someone who would support the contamination theory that Bindman had suggested.

Bindman wasn’t in any position to agree or disagree one way or another, he would have to be led by the specialist in the field, (Lincoln)but as you say Nick should have called a halt to the whole proceedings. Something very fishy about Hanratty’s representation in my opinion.

You have said Lincoln left (in 1997?) because he did not regard LCN to be a valid system. If this was so and Bindman agreed with this position I would have expected him to say at this point that the testing procedure was unsatisfactory and should not be pursued. By not doing he was giving credence to its validity.Last edited by moste; 03-06-2021, 02:24 AM.
