The evidence against Kevin was a bin liner found in the boot of a car. Allegedly, Kevin's fingerprints were found on this bin liner, after he was arrested. Infact, Kevin's fingerprints were taken twice, but for some reason the police only declared taking his prints once. The bin liner was stored at the local police station during Kevin's arrest; they had been in possesion of this bin liner 3 months before Kevin was arrested. Why then did it take a further 3 months to charge Kevin?

Kevin had two trials, the first being with co-defendant Mr Vincent. In the first trial the prosecution presented the case that Kevin was the gunman and Vincent was there to identify the victim. The evidence on both men was exactly the same. In the first trial Vincent was found not guilty, on the direction of the Judge. The Jury failed to reach a verdict on Kevin and so a retrial was ordered. The second trial an unanimous verdict could not be reached, so they decided a guilty verdict with only the majority in favor.
