Does this new evidence mean that there might be a re-trial?
It will be interesting to see if anything transpires. It certainly represents a shift in attitude from the HSE. If this latest evidence had been presented in court, who knows what the judge would have done, regardless of plea. But it does make HSE's claim to have conducted a 'thorough investigation' look risible. The significant point now is that, having dismissed previous evidence of innocence as 'irrelevant', the 'new' evidence is deemed relevant enough to warrant notifying the defence, and witnesses, that this action has been taken. I guess much depends on whether Martin-Baker want to do anything.
