​

• Scott has always maintained he is innocent, but so far all his appeals for a new trial have been denied.​​

​​

• There is no forensic evidence for Scott's guilt. Crucial evidence, like a bloody knife found at the scene, was mishandled, ignored or even lost by the police.

​

• The 'eyewitness' statement the State's case was built on can be shown to be entirely fabricated. Moreover, the witness had a documented history of instability, mental illness and drug abuse.

 

• Neither police nor prosecution doubted the main witness or followed up on other leads for the case – despite many opportunities to do so.

​

• Scott's trial lawyers completely failed to point out these, and other issues to the jury.

​

• In 2020 the state's witness came forward in order to put right the wrong done to Scott, seeking help to tell her story.  Tragically, she died a few months later, still unheeded by the people Scott is depending on to represent him in court.
