Yes this is exactly the right place and (if you watch my film on
www.VilePervert.com you'll see) this was the thing that most horrified me during my case.
I truly believed the police wanted to find the truth.
Oh, I knew there were some corrupt ones and the vast majority were probably lazy or useless (as in most professions) but I found it inconceivable that human beings could go all out to convict someone they KNEW was innocent.
When the scales dropped from my eyes and I saw this was not the case I almost died.
I'd given the police loads of proof that lies were being told. They simply used my information to get the accusers to change their statements.
I've since tried to persuade makers of TV fiction like The Bill to include a story line like this; they simply do not dare do so.
But the public are slowly becoming aware of the truth. It is frightening and sadly there is no real accountability; as you say, why bother to fight under those circumstances?
