@justicelog Thank you for your comment. Post came about due to a conversation in a pub recently where someone mentioned how those with least to lose don’t seem to find themselves in the falsely accused/wrongly convicted arena.
Why does it appear that middle class, successful people are often more likely to be falsely accused?
Are the police and CPS only interested in people with more to lose?
All thoughts and comments appreciated. Please do share.

Herein lies the problem. Brand might just as well be a 'victim' of bundled false allegations. It's all what a trial is there to get to the heart of
A person is innocent until proven guilty (and then any appeal) in the UK - however we feel about any of it

@franticworry@FACTukorg Michael Naughton referenced the Bard in his recent response to the @ccrcupdate's rejection of the new 'Clydach Murders' app. They're howling about why they can't and won't refer cases to the CoA. Utterly bizarre. So Ol' Shakey is rattling around my brain :)

" No one who knows anything about prisons thinks that they are fulfilling their rehabilitation remit. A renewed focus on purposeful activity inside jails is needed. But as increased numbers of prisoners are diverted towards probation, the service needs resources to deliver what is asked of it."

"Any one watched the BBC drama Time? Jesus it just shows how fucked up the MOJ Criminal Justice system is. More harm is perpetuated and no rehabilitation nor Duty of Care. Am ashamed to have recently been a Civil Servant working in the MOJ."

Carl Beech’s malicious lies destroyed reputations, livelihoods & lives. Yet when he was released from prison, those he falsely accused & their families were not even informed.
Why? Because we did not qualify for the Victim Contact Scheme.
I commend @DavidLammy for acknowledging the profound harm caused & engaging constructively with our campaign for reform.
But sympathy is no substitute for action.
Lady Diana Brittan, Lord Bramall’s family, the Sir Edward Heath Charitable Foundation & I have asked the @MoJGovUK one straightforward question: will those directly harmed by criminal perversions of justice - including by those falsely accused - be recognised & protected as victims?
We sought urgent clarification from @AlexJJNorris following his appointment as Justice Secretary. Months later, we are still awaiting a substantive response.
The Ministry of Justice now says it will keep the law under review. That is not enough. We need a clear commitment & a timetable.
We must ensure that those deliberately & maliciously targeted by proven criminal falsehoods are not forgotten.
If someone weaponises the justice system to destroy an innocent person’s life, & is convicted for doing so, how can the person whose life was destroyed not be recognised as a victim?
Notification. Consultation. Recognition. Protection.
That is all we ask, & we will not stop asking until the injustice is addressed.
Thank you to @odlinggeorge of @thetimes for highlighting an extraordinary injustice at the heart of our criminal justice system.
