Really? If that were the case then no one would ever be found not guilty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IIRC, there was a tv documentary about his plight shortly after his release,,,, very interesting, but left him having to take handouts and claim benefits. He was 'given' accommodation by his solicitors, again IIRC. Since then he's had to fight tooth and nail to get his compensation agreement,,,, then this 🤬 I'm frustrated for him ! 😠😖 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The real fun will start when the frustration turns to anger. Unlike other places there is a firm which has ensured it will be exempt from any adverse action.

Vince Green Posted February 14 Report Share Posted February 14 What is worse is that apparently the police had irrefutable DNA proof of his innocence in 2007 and the CPS was aware of it by 2009 at the latest. This appears in some ways to have similarities with the Post Office case where the authorities would rather an innocent man remained in prison than they have to admit they made a mistake. Greater Manchester police opened an internal misconduct investigation over the handling of the case but then mysteriously dropped it. That again looks highly suspicious.

There are now so many of these apparent miscarriages of so called JUSTICE, this country is going down the drain at an increasing rate.

The more you read about this case the more it would appear that it wasn't 'just' a miscarriage of justice. The unpalatable question arises of whether evidence was deliberately withheld at the time of his trial and afterwards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JKD Posted February 14 Author Report Share Posted February 14 I think all the points raised here were in the documentary,,,, not sure what channel it was on ? AM's life has been ruined, and deliberately it would seem 😕 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
