This story with Lucy's killer has reached stupidity levels now.... if you forget that Ian and Jane know what happened and no one else does.....
Max was having an affair with Lucy, has her blood on his shoes with an unconvincing story about it and police say they have enough info to charge him... yet the parents of the murdered girl are falling about themselves to support the accused and Carol.
What would everyone else in the square think about this, it would be utterly bizarre to everyone else...
