If the Duke of Windsor had stayed out of the way the Bahamian police might have found the killer.Bill Selneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17268006369157307593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1644690488802388716.post-57131653991226325452020-07-02T16:54:33.227-06:002020-07-02T16:54:33.227-06:00What a horrible job those policemen did.

Either absolute bunglers or, more likely, corrupt and more than ready to send an innocent man to the gallows. <br />At least the judge seems to have been professional.Christophehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01978885973806549838noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1644690488802388716.post-30108097177801045602020-07-01T20:11:32.999-06:002020-07-01T20:11:32.999-06:00Margot: Thanks for the comment.

It sounds as though the defending counsel did an outstanding job, even if the recommendation was that de Marigny leave the country. I like the background information here, although I know what you mean about being disappointed at the end; I would have wanted to know these authors' thoughts on the killer, too.
