9 September 2009 UTC Purrum get the story accurate rather than make more false allegations about Opas You are trying to confuse the facts as per usual Truth is Opas wrote many articles which have always clearly stated the facts that only one single shot was heard by all persons and prison officer Paterson testified he fired one single shot Also prison officer Pascoe admitted on national television in 1986 19 years after Ryan was hanged that he fired a shot from tower 3 which might have killed Hodson Pascoe stated that he was a young scared coward at the time for keeping quiet as he didn t want to get into trouble and lose his job Hence there has been much speculation over the decades of where the fatal shot was fired from and by whom The fact remains that the police and prosecution failed for whatever reason to provide a shred of scientific forensic evidence which would have proven beyond reasonable doubt who s rifle fired the fatal shot Nobody s rifle was ever tested There were lots of prison officers with lots of rifles at the time everyone heard one single shot Not one single rifle including Ryan s rifle was tested for evidence This is a fact Purrum should stick to the facts rather than contribute opinions views allegations without substance 07 52
