I've added references where a predecessor had marked that they were needed. It is for instance a fact that he is now out of jail and also that an application to reopen the case is being processed by the Supreme Court. Difficult to find a place where this can be independently documented (a data-base at the ministry of justice? a data-base at the supreme court?) Gill110951 (talk) 15:11, 1 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I find it a bit strange that there is not a dutch translation of this? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 157.193.107.106 (talk) 10:36, 15 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Well, someone could make that Dutch translation. Gill110951 (talk) 15:11, 1 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Photo and alleged death threats

Please note that the photo of Kevin Sweeney has been removed, not merely from this article, but from Wikimedia Commons entirely, following alleged death threats to Mr. Sweeney. See discussion on Wikipedia Bio noticeboard and Wikimedia Commons Admin noticeboard both dated 17 Sept 2008. It may therefore be unwise to re-upload or re-link any photos of Mr. Sweeney, not merely for his personal safety, but for the reputation of the Wikipedia project.

Strange - Kevin Sweeney has been interviewed on Dutch TV about his fight to clear his name several times, and those tv programmes can easily be found on internet. So it is not difficult to find a picture of him. I suspect that those alleged death threats are bogus. But it is true that he has a lot of enemies. For instance, the main evidence against him was "information" about his character supplied by his mother-in-law. It also appears that a number of police investigators and court officials would be highly embarassed if his case is reopened and he is found not guilty. An article about his case in Private Eye magazine also drew vicious a vicious response from one reader, probably a private investigator involved in the case and employed by his enemies. However, Private Eye declined to publish this letter whose contents did not appear to have much truth to them Gill110951 (talk) 14:27, 14 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
