I'd like to discuss the John Hogan case, but I dont want it to descend into a 'lynch' thread

[VVVQV]

It aint gonna happen, is it?

Has it been confirmed that Natasha Hogan has remarried or does this remain rumour?

I'm interested only because it appears to be something that has been either concealed or downplayed. The reasons why that might be the case interest me.

Not, I hasten to add, because I think her remarriage (or not) is relevant to John Hogan's guilt (or otherwise) but because it is not.

she has remarried - I was wrong, I said in earlier posts that she had remarried a month after whole incident, but it was a month after that they moved in together and she married before Christmas - apologies for that.
Did anyone read the interview with her in Mail on Sunday this weekend?

Then it sounds to me like there has been some "information management" going on to limit the awareness of that. I wonder why.

Clearly the fact that there was some kind of relationship with the man to whom she is now married (presumably) while she was still married to John Hogan does not make her responsible for what happened. That being so, why does it matter - in relation to this awful business whether and when the relationship began?

I've just read the Mail on Sunday article. Imho, I doubt she is being completely truthful when she insists there was no relationship with her current partner before all this happened. I think it is more likely that there was something between them even if it was not declared or consummated. It doesn't make her responsible for what happened, of course.

To return to my earlier point, what difference would it make (and to whom) whether and when Natasha Hogan remarried? It doesn't make her guilty and neither does it alter (either way) John Hogan's guilt.

I hate the way so many posters here and in real life are willing to second guess the verdict of people who had a much better understanding of this case than they could.

Ms Highwater, I guess the information management is because the tabloids like things to be clean cut and uncomplicated when they stoke up outrage. Of course, whether his wife had already remarried or was in another relationship at the time of this tragedy would not affect Hogan's guilt.

So true, Upwind. One can understand a willingness to apply perceived wisdom, though.
