There’s something I find confusing about this story and the other story in the article.
These are both cases where someone has directly accused another who has then had to fight conviction costing thousands.
Surely if they are innocent then the victim must have lied. Why then are the innocent left with the bill and those who lied to the courts getting away with ruining lives.
Potentially they are still guilty but managed to introduce enough doubt that the courts couldn’t be sure? Someone is lying and I feel uncomfortable reading the article knowing there’s either child molestors free or that innocent people are getting set up by lying children at the cost of their lives.
> The police showed her pages of texts she was alleged to have sent him. She says they were false.
> Straight away she noticed the fonts on the texts didn’t look right. “It was completely obvious,” she says. “He’d created fake messages.” But the police went ahead and charged her with three offences.
How the fuck did they not simply check with her network provider that she had actually sent those texts?
You know, the “gathering evidence” part of their job?
