Do please pass this onto anyone who may have use for it or, if you feel it more appropriate, into the rubbish bin. I’m writing this in very simple terms using small words since sadly these days the good old meejah seems less able to understand complex issues.

Sean Hodgson is just the latest in hundreds of miscarriages of justice. Sally Clark, Barry George, Sion Jenkins, Stephen Downing, Stefan Kiszco… the list is extraordinary but, of course, only gets interest for about 24 hours, after which the vital mantra of this century “Is it a good story?” takes over meejah minds.

More complex investigations into extraordinary cases like Bryn Estyn and the Jersey “murdered 200 year old coconut” are covered at length by superb investigators like Richard Webster and Bob Woffinden but seem to be far too complex for the brain dead, tabloid headline slogan writers in the meejah.

But can I ask for two very simple considerations?
1) that the possibility exists that some of the teachers and priests and foster parents and relatives locked away for abuse may also be innocent? It is so easy to find someone guilty when no evidence (and thus no DNA) exists and it is one person’s dramatic story against another’s pathetic “I didn’t do it”.
I know about this. It happened to me.
My submission is in front of the ECHR this summer.
2) that some kind of accountability kicks in, so the useless people allowing murderers like that of Millie Dowler (who the meejah no longer care about - old news, why bother?) to evade arrest can stop getting away with it, and so useless, incompetent, corrupt, dishonest policemen can start realising there IS a problem with their failure?

In my youth the media could be a powerful force for correcting wrongs.
These days politicians, police and lawyers have learned that blatant PR - giving the media a good headline - beats the truth every time.

We should be ashamed of ourselves.

Know the feeling well,and of course a very true testimony.
Trouble is it'll get ignored because those running the media are just too scared to admit the truth.

I keep chipping away IA and one day, who knows, a chink in the dam could appear and SPLASH, the flood water will pour in and drown the baddies!

For those of us being abused by the system I'm very glad of you doing this.Afterall anybody out there could be next.

there just aren't the great sceptical investigative journalists anymore. Like the wonderful late Paul Foot-first on the Mirror and then Private Eye.

Not only did he know that great injustice was going on all the time-he also knew that reporting it was great journalism.

I think the tabloids are in for a rough time in the near future. Some must go to the wall and the ones that survive will only do so if they change their formula.

I admire the way you don't give up. Yes, most times it just goes up noses. Yes, most editors and journos ignore you or joke about you or refuse to mention you. But nobody else (certainly not Archer) keeps on going. You're like the Ever Ready monkey of miscarriages of justice!

Decent spread in the Mirror about the appalling suffering provoked by Sean Hodgson's miscarriage of justice.

Not just on him, remember, but on the family and friends too.

Now multiply that by the thousands of wrongfully convicted innocent men and women in prison today and over past decades and imagine how many millions there are disillusioned by the broken justice system.

Keep on Keeping on JK

There needs to be a "famous" voice on behalf of the innocent and downtrodden of the UK who wallow in jails and in the ruins of their lives because of the injustices that run deep in the UK justice system.

One day a DECENT editor will publish your views and let FREEDOM OF SPEECH have its day. Until then our MEDIA is locked in a NEW LABOUR determined spin frenzy where the truth was lost many years ago.
