Just how do you re-build your life after that? How many other falsely convicted people are there serving time? And is this not the most compelling of all arguments against the death penalty?

yes
but they did say sorry0 -
he was convicted in 1982. DNA evidence was first used in 1986. Once used shouldn't they have reviewed all cases where samples were available for DNA testing just to ensure that all convictions were watertight ? A waste of money ? Not in my eyes. Poor bloke.0

then there is the matter of the scum bag who did it ----- out there and ding what ?0

It wouldn't surprise me if fitting up ocurrs using DNA evidence now, only need be a bit of skin or hair I believe0

hate idea 100% hate it of a DNA data base --------------------- British Justice (dont laugh) has to be inocent untill PROVEN guilty --- end of. The bullshit of "its OK if you have nothing to hide" well thats bullshit.
we are the most regemented country in the so called free world. CCTV everywhere--- mobile calls monitored----- held without trial for f**k knows how long---- OB and HM Gov and local councils using "anti terror laws" for minor tin pot shit. The list goes on and on.
Dont trust OB never have never will.
Its a shock but they do lie ! and someone told me that Dixon of Dock Green wasnt true !0 -
The guy was a compulsive liar and admitted the crime to police, clergymen and stuff though didnt he?
Bloody idiot - if you're a compulsive liar you are meant to do it for your own benefit, not to get locked up.0 -

Anyone see that programme about Holloway last night.
Some of the women wanted to go inside to get off drugs, others had so little going on outside in their lives that the prison offered some form of security and routine. A few seemed to be in and out every few weeks for minor offences
Maybe this guy just liked all the attention. Admitting to crimes you don't commit sounds like serious mental illness to me0 -

in the case we are discussing it was sperm that they had for DNA testing not hair, saliva etc0 -
The UK has the biggest DNA data base in the world --------------- why ?0

Cant get into the link.
Was he convicted by a jury of his peers or did he just plead guilty to a crime he didnt commit. or is it a case of Old Bill doing a frame job?
If you have seen some of the people on jury service it's no wonder sometimes they get it wrong by convicting innocents, or acquiting the guilty.0 -
