Surely this conclusion also implies that the entire case was contaminated by police behaviour (lack of proper investigation)? If our police are allowed not to examine BOTH SIDES of a false allegation, they will next be calling innocent men and women "perpetrators" and liars "victims". They may even be announcing that criminals WILL BE BELIEVED. It does make policing more easy. "Did you murder this child?". "No". "OK, we believe you".[/quote]
