JK2006 Every time I put up posts like this I get dozens of messages saying "I never knew about this - it was appalling". The media may briefly cover miscarriages of justice but only very, very briefly.

JK2006 In case you never knew about Danny Day - he is just a small example of the false accusers - most of whom get away with it, their victims languishing or dying in prison...

JK2006 Indeed yes; even terrible crimes like murder do not deserve to wreck the lives of the innocent. You MUST read Gemma Dowler's book My Sister Milly, which I thought was the best book of last year. It details how, in many ways, the damage done by media, police and the judicial system AFTER Milly's murder was almost as bad as the death itself. Torture, like pulling the wings off flies, and virtually never ending. Gemma and her parents are still suffering today (I know a lot about this having spoken at length to their lawyer, Mark Lewis). We need a thorough rethink of the way we deal with crime. The current system is broken.
Belinda You should add - what about the innocent collateral damaged? Wives, children, families, friends. The backlash is far larger than anybody anticipates, not just for the falsely accused and, indeed, the truly guilty, but for those connected to the accusers. Often they suffer most of all.
