Well, maybe the actual argument, about whether he did it or not, is "open and shut". What he's presenting here, though, is irrefutable -- in the sense of "not falsifiable" -- so should also be inadmissible: His "[How] I genuinely do not know..." goes to his own state of mind, which nobody else can know or be responsible for.
I mean, it could for instance be the case that he obviously and incontrovertibly did it, but is just too utterly stupid to realise it -- then "I genuinely do not know" would still be true. But just as ignorance of the law is no defense, I don't think stupidity is either. "But your Honour, I didn't know she'd die if I cut off her head, so I can't be guilty of murder!" Too fucking bad, you should have known that.

No, coz in that case we would know the identities of all these women. The only ones named didnt come from his blog they came from a guy who actually tweeted them and was sentenced, IIRC, to 6 months rather than Craig's 8.
