I was reading your book and was intrigued by your claim that you were acquitted at the second trial. So I investigated in court records and found it was true.
A judge is a close friend. I got into a long discussion with him over dinner.
He said it has been generally agreed that your prosecution was very suspect and that, if your appeal is granted, the fact that you were subsequently acquitted would stand you in very good stead to be given millions in compensation. He says that is one reason why the Establishment is determined not to allow your appeal and not to attract any attention to your case.
Don't give up.

Yup!

I too got into a debate with friends over dinner. They were all amazed by this. One is a barrister and said that the Not Guilty verdict in the second trial should have serious ramifications and if your appeal is granted, opens a can of worms for the CPS and for the false accusers. Even now you must be regarded as losing one trial but winning another - a draw. Those calling you names stand in danger of libel. Yes you were convicted but you were also acquitted which puts all the other allegations into a very poor light.

... and remember, a conviction does NOT mean that someone is actually guilty !
