Unfortunately, it seems a lot of juries assume that a defendant is guilty just by virtue of them being on trial in the first place. He looks nothing like the e-fit they showed!
Jesus. Poor bloke.
I hope he gets enough in damages to retire and buy a home on. He’s had the last 17 years of his life stolen.
The statement he made outside court was extraordinary.
When the Birmingham 6 were compensated after release they had money deducted for ‘accommodation’ after being falsely imprisoned.
It’s so easy for the police to get a conviction for this kind of crime if they want to.
There was a woman recently who falsely accused 9 innocent men ‘for fun’
The conviction rate for cases that the police take to trial in england and wales is almost 80%
