Burkhilly, I'm surprised you didnt make the connection with Gorman, prosecuting Kelly and Connolly and being the trial judge in the Hanratty case. You've apparently read The Cameo Conspiracy several times, and in that book, the author mentions this fact!
Incidentally, although Gorman (at the time, the Recorder of Liverpool) was ruthless against Kelly, he was very sympathetic to Hanratty, censuring the jury for coming back numerous times to ask silly questions - and thus prolonging the accused's agony -before finally finding him guilty. I still believe Hanratty was innocent. The DNA findings from Valerie Storey's underwear, was a whitewash. It was several years old and had been contaminated. Also, she had picked out an innocent man at the ID parade before "selecting" Hanratty.
