I think I was the poster who suggested that Lincoln was replaced by Evison because Lincoln's evidence was not helpful to Hanratty's case.
Since making that suggestion I have read Rob Harriman's book which has most of the evidence in the Court of Appeal relating to the DNA aspect of the case. Dr Evison was questioned by the Crown's QC, Mr Sweeney, as to why he, Evison, was giving evidence not Dr Lincoln. The reason given by Dr Evison was that Dr Lincoln had retired and was unable to devote the necessary time to Hanratty's case.
