It is possible that Jay Illangaratne may have misunderstood my
motives. Of Professor John Walker-Smith I was merely pondering on the why
‘would’ he do it, rather than the why ‘did’ he do it, albeit beyond the
reasonable doubt of the GMC. Of course, the concept of motive in the
person who denies they ‘did’ it is an interesting one to ponder. In the
case of Sally Clark, I recall that the prosecutory authorities appeared
much more interested in conviction and punishment than in considering a
motive. [1]
