And if you read the Talk pages you'll see he still has his defenders, getting angry about him being described as a murderer.

  As far as I can tell most of those comments pre-dates his conviction. During the trial, I too saw plenty of reasons not to want to assume guilt prematurely - there were plenty of weird circumstances, and the evidence did not necessarily seem overwhelming at a distance (quite possibly reading the full transcript might have reduced that doubt) though it certainly pointed in his direction. The question really was not whether or not he looked guilty, though, but whether or not the evidence proved it beyond reasonable doubt. But of course he afterwards ended up leading police to her grave, causing whatever doubt was justified before to disappear (and the pre-conviction doubt also steadily dropped largely thanks to his own behaviour during the trial).
