The police did apologise to Stagg. You can understand why he was originally convicted. He did confess to the crime after all.
Also he got |

I couldn't help a sharp intake of breath and a wry smile as I heard a police spokesman claiming {on the PM programme} that no investigation into the police's conduct with regards to Stagg was needed as "it couldn't happen today". Couldn't it? There's a whole herd of pigs just flown by my window. With the police bound by "targets" and always an eye on the next promotion, the fit up is as much an instrument of policy as ever it was. |

The Stagg/Napper situation on the same day as Suzanne is finally acquitted of the death of the epileptic toddler in her care should be considered alongside the Jersey coconut murder investigation and the "I miss you sooo much" Matthews case. Chuck in Sally Clark, Barry George, Sion Jenkins and all the other recent miscarriages of justice and the relationship between police, media and justice becomes very clear.
Surely there is a huge award winning article here?

I was absolutely horrified at the Crimewatch programme on Colin Stagg and the lengths they went to get him convicted.
He was initially arrested for not being a normal run of the mill guy (being interested in so-called strange things), then when he trotted out the 'I didn't do it' line over four days of questioning, they resorted to Criminal Psychology and a honeytrap.
After all that and still finding no evidence, they still charged him with the murder of Rachel.
At the end of programme it was revealed the undercover woman who posed as the Honeytrap for Stagg got over 100K for post traumatic stress (insert your own cheap shot there).
Oh and yesterday, the police finally apologised to Colin Stagg, three months after he was rewarded compensation. Absolutely disgraceful.
Picking up on JK's point, how did they get Napper to confess, seeing he has in a high-profile secure institute.
Feel very sorry for Rachels parents, and her son who must be now 18, I do hope that they have some form of closure now.
It was a compelling hour of television, such a shame it wasn't fictional.
Colin Stagg got 706K as compensation, I wonder what JK would get if your convicitons are overturned. Not that I believe for a second that money is the main motive in JK's instance, as their are an awful lot of other reasons which have been written on this website. |
