Newbie to Criminal Justice System - I don’t wear cape or wig, I haven’t written a book but I know injustice, lies & theatre when I see it 🎭 #ItCouldBeYou
If called for jury service make sure you ask the judge if ALL evidence has been disclosed by Police & CPS in the case, and how you can be sure of this? Because in half the trials in England & Wales the Police hide evidence

@JUDEX51249021 @dropvolleyer Even when there is concrete evidence that an allegation is false (such as an accused teacher not even being employed at the school - or even in the UK - at the same time the complainant was a pupil) it is likely this will be ignored or even suppressed by the police/CPS.
BREAKING NEWS: We're pleased to announce that the Court of Appeal has overturned Gareth Jones’s conviction – our second successful appeal. Thread to follow shortly, but here's an outline: https://t.co/dmPApkxsFI 1/x
A terrible miscarriage of justice that cost the innocent victim 11 years of his life. It shows that every carer & teacher is at risk of being wrongly accused of a sexual offence, convicted & their lives utterly ruined. @FACTukorg

Carer unfairly jailed for sex assault is cleared
There was no DNA or CCTV evidence against him and “the charged and rhetorical” questions and his responses during the trial had left the jury “with the impression that he had no answer to the charge”.

Following the scandal of evidence not being disclosed (withheld), especially in cases of sexual allegations, it’s clear that any proper investigation must involve looking at the communications & social media of both complainants & those being accused.

I’m sure the background to this unanimous acquittal in a prosecution for an alleged rape would be very interesting - & possibly very disturbing - if the defence suggestion that ‘a grudge’ led to a malicious planting of evidence is true.

Director of Public Prosecutions @MaxHillQC said: Disclosure needs to be addressed pre charge - this is part of the new code for Chief Crown Prosecutors. @CommonsJustice
Whenever a popular delusion is exploded by facts & logic, those who once advocated vocally for it seem to splinter into separate groups:
▪️I never believed it
▪️I’m angry that I’ve been misled & betrayed
▪️I don’t know what to think now
▪️It’s all a conspiracy
▪️I still believe
Everyone who is fighting a Miscarriage of Justice must come together and support one another. We can and will bring about change and must stay positive on these issues. The truth will come out.
Breathtaking hypocrisy... I have now seen documentary proof (court papers) that a very vocal online ‘campaigner’ against child abuse (& a notorious false accuser) is himself a convicted abuser of children. I can’t expose him due to an anonymity order that protects his victims.
Our Chair @Neill_Bob has commented on the @attorneygeneral review of #disclosure which was published today. You can read his comment here: https://t.co/Fu3F0QOuXT
The only real questions for @maxhillqc are:
1. How many innocent people have been wrongly convicted & jailed because evidence has been withheld?
2. What, as DPP, are you (& the CPS) going to do to put it right?

@JuxtaposeMr In the first trial, the accused was convicted, but is now dead. Second trial unanimous jury acquitted in minutes. Third, convicted but appealing. In that case a key complainant wasn’t even a pupil at the school at the same time as the accused teacher. Police never checked.
More & more investigative journalists are now digging into the background of the cabals of liars, fraudsters & fantasists who have been making big money out of false sexual accusations. One school insurer alone has been fleeced for over £750k. This is serious fraud.
