As we watch daily more and more police facing serious charges (the latest - MURDER - which looks very suspect to me, as do many other prosecutions) the good thing is that they are nervous about "assisting" false accusers and "enabling" wrongful convictions - as they did against me in 2001 (and failed later in 2001 and in 2018).
This serious crime has got under the radar but it has prevented cops bending the rules by winking/nudging "victims" who are actually false accusers.
As a result Phillip Schofield's ex boyfriend seems NOT to have "remembered" he was 15 when he first had sex with Phil. Huw Edwards' false accusers do NOT seem to have "remembered" facts that prove he was guilty of crimes.
And that may well assist Russell Brand as middle aged women fail to prove sex without consent or age limits broken and the CPS decide No Case To Answer.
In 2001 bent Surrey Police could not go the "without consent" route (as many returned again and again) and had to rely on the (just) under 16 lie against me.

And yet again Hitchens has a good point here - about Lucy Letby. But his best point is - why does he have to be the only media voice to say it? These days we are totally bereft of decent Editors and investigative journalists (since the deaths of Ludo Kennedy and Bob Woffinden).

I have been reading that Police firearms officers are stepping back from duties following the murder charge against their colleague. As questions are increasingly asked about the Letby conviction, we may see nurses step back from certain specialisms (whether she is guilty or not). If the justice system is being abused for political or populist ends, the damage does not end with the lives of the accused.

Well spotted Wyot

The pirate-ised NHI/National Health Industry greedy overpaid managers are the the cowardly culprits protecting their 'brand' by constantly overruling concerned consultants who knew something else was wrong on the neo-natal ward.

June 2023: "The trial began in October last year. Over the past few weeks, Letby has recently given evidence lasting 14 days, during which she has denied ALL the allegations about her. Here, Yahoo News UK rounds up some of Letby’s lines of defence from the witness box:"
