Prosecution position
BBC reporting has been broadly neutral reportage: verdicts, appeal proceedings, Thirlwall Inquiry hearings, the Panel press conference and the arrests, reported as they happened.
Expert challenge / post-conviction reading
As day-by-day court and inquiry reporting rather than investigative work on the expert evidence, it records what was said in each forum rather than testing it.
What remains uncertain
This site holds no per-article BBC citation set. The characterisation above describes the BBC's rolling topic coverage as a whole, and no claim is made here about any individual BBC report.
