It makes you wonder how many died innocent in prison, how many are innocent people are still in prison. There needs to be a case by case investigation on those in prison pleading innocent, DNA evidence is vital, however I do wonder if the police do tamper with DNA evidence. I don't trust any of them.
Just because you have previous or beef with the police does not link you to a specfic crime.
I knew petty criminals, who went to prison for the crimes they did not commit - the crimes they did do...they got away. Very ironic.

I can't believe they rejected his appeal, even if the evidence was weak. It's always worth looking in to things with fresh pair of eyes.
A CCRC spokesperson said: "We do regret that we were not able to identify Mr Sullivan's conviction as a potential miscarriage of justice in our first review.
"As an organisation we are committed to taking forward learning from previous reviews and we continue to develop our understanding around forensic opportunities."
So how they going reverse 39 years of damage and wasted years? Colin Stagg and Barry George could have served decades. I have read that Colin Stagg is going to do theatre tour and talk about his ordeal. If he did I would go to that.
He looked like a tiny of Robert Napper when he was young, but DNA test was all they needed to do. Not be obessed with a loner reading a book about the occult or crime. We all read books like that when we young.
The media also made Stagg lose his job at Tesco when the took of pictures of him going to work. Why can't they just the poor sod alone?
