@lizyeld @michael47478285 @Elsie2127 @EmpowerInnocent Liz, I can't find the original tweet you've replied to here - do you know where I can find it/what it is, please?

[Stephen Hamilton - Innocent @SupportStephenH]

@franticworry @juliehealy67 Yes, I believe it was in Tennessee. The US is even more screwed up than we are.

[Stephen Hamilton - Innocent @SupportStephenH]

@Suffragentleman @limey1945 More to do with the ridiculous system in the US than feminism.

Apparently it's illegal to refuse a prisoner an interview with a researcher, author, etc. according to a Supreme Court ruling. If refused, prisoners should complain and must be given any paperwork related to the rejection within 3 days. How interesting.

@HelgaSpeck Chris Saltrese has been in touch. Thank you!

[Stephen Hamilton - Innocent @SupportStephenH]

Serco have refused permission for a journalist to visit Stephen in prison to interview him about False Memory Syndrome, which was a key area of his defence, "for security reasons". Permission will not be granted while he remains at HMP Ashfield.

@HelgaSpeck She's asking whether she can have him phone her, Helga - and that way she can record the call. Is that possible? Thanks for your advice.

How being acquitted of a false sexual allegation by a jury is being rendered almost meaningless:

▪️Charge is on your police record for life
▪️Revealed in enhanced DBS check
▪️You must declare arrest etc when travelling to USA & some other countries
▪️News reports remain online

@Tiffany44541244 @rachel_maria65 @Zigmanfreud @VeeSally @Barristerblog Keep doing what you're doing, Tiffany! <3

@Tiffany44541244 @rachel_maria65 @Zigmanfreud @VeeSally @Barristerblog Very odd. Rachel_maria stated she thought you were a troll and said "Too much - te veel" - lost me completely. I think you write thoroughly and with great authority, Tiffany - thanks for your research and insight.

@Tiffany44541244 @33ang3lcuddles @rachel_maria65 @Zigmanfreud @VeeSally @Barristerblog There has to be a balance. Not "believe the victim" or "ignore the feminist crying rape", but "Investigate fairly and thoroughly to shed light on truth." The pendulum seems to swing to radical extremes when we actually need centrism.

[John Ziegler @Zigmanfreud]

Mark Pendergast, a very liberal writer of 3 books related to repressed memory, has weighed in on the Ford allegations and concluded that her story is very consistent with a false memory which was largely created in therapy 30 years after the alleged event: https://t.co/vUaOguZFhY

@Tiffany44541244 @rachel_maria65 @Zigmanfreud @VeeSally @Barristerblog Thank you so much for taking so much time to reply, Tiffany - you write so sensibly and clearly on a highly emotive subject, countering kneejerk prejudices with precision.

@SupportStephenH @rachel_maria65 @Zigmanfreud @VeeSally @Barristerblog It’s incredibly hypocritical to go on and on about all the work that’s been done to prevent “victims” (should be accusers) sexual history from being used against them while ramping up sexual history being used against “perpetrator” (should be accused) while removing all rights

[Stephen Hamilton - Innocent @SupportStephenH]

@Tiffany44541244 @rachel_maria65 @Zigmanfreud @VeeSally So many people believe entirely in False Memory Syndrome - a TV crime show construct with no basis in reality. Stephen's expert witness, Dr Janet Boakes, was not permitted to testify, or to explain to the jury that FMS DOES NOT EXIST. https://t.co/ZTqdsZjmw7

The justice system is rewarding false accusers https://t.co/GinVZBBRhB

[Simon Warr RIP @bbcsimonwarr]

Much has been said & written about the rehabilitation of criminals, but I can’t ever recall a serious discussion about the rehabilitation of people who have been falsely accused. Many have lost everything: reputation, career, home, savings, pensions, friends & even families.

[Felicity Stryjak @franticworry]

@bbcsimonwarr Prosecuting someone who perverts the course of justice is no different from prosecuting any other crime. We don’t refuse to prosecute burglars or fraudsters because ‘it’s vindictive��.
