These people are the real criminals and steal the tax payers money you only have to look at the cold blooded murder of Jean Charles de Menezes to know how much of a farce these investigations are.

Are the Criminal Cases Review Commission and the Independent Police Complaints Commission a total sham?
Bodies such as the CCRC and IPCC have such appalling low success rates. Only 3 out of 100 cases are referred by CCRC (own figures) .Then only a fraction of these referrals are successful on appeal. What other alternatives are there for Miscarriages of Justice? Is the European Court of Human rights more transparent and just than our UK sanctimonious token gesture of a just system ?

You have to go through all the appeal procedures before the CCRC will look at a case. They look into cases which seem miscarriages of justice so tend to deal with serious cases, with due respect to you. They must have a web site as they are a public service. http://www.ccrc.gov.uk
Criminal Cases Review Commission?
Does anyone have experiences of going through the CCRB for a minor offence? I find it impossible to obtain a solicitor through legal aid and will have to represent myself to correct a miscarriage of justice-any advice would be welcomed.

What compensation will this man get, if it is proven he is innocent?
A man jailed for murdering a barmaid 27 years ago could be released from prison within days after serious doubts emerged about his conviction.
Sean Hodgson is serving a life sentence for killing 22-year-old Teresa De Simone, who was found strangled in a car in Southampton in December 1979.
But after a police review of DNA evidence found at the scene, the case was referred to the Criminal Cases Review Commission which sent it to the Court of Appeal.
If released, he would be one of the longest-serving victims of a miscarriage of justice.
So like others before him, jailed for life for a crime he might have never committed what compensation should he receive if he is found innocent?
The Crown Prosecution Service is now considering a review of all similar murder cases where DNA evidence is available and defendants are still alive……..
Considering?? Shouldn’t that action already be implemented?
If that man was innocent then there isn’t any amount of compensation which will make up for being wrongly convicted. He has lost his family and friends, lost the chance to marry and raise children, the right to own a property and have holidays and friendships for all of those years. He is bound to be bitter and twisted and that wouldn’t be easy taking on a man like him in your life, you’d always play second fiddle to what he should have had. Poor soul.

“Warren Blackwell spent three years and four months in prison for a sexual offence he didn’t commit. He was accused of raping and sexually assaulting her following a party in a social club. His accuser, it turns out, was a serial liar with a long history of crying rape. However, she remains anonymous. She is known only as ‘Miss A’.”
There’s the outrage. If it weren’t for parliamentary immunity, others could easily suffer the same way from this woman’s lies.

What do you think of Lord Campbell-Savours identifying “Miss A” in the House of Lords?
“Lord Campbell-Savours: My Lords, is not the inevitable consequence of the workings of the law as currently framed that we will carry on imprisoning innocent people such as Warren Blackwell, who was falsely accused by a serial and repeated liar, Shannon Taylor, who has a history of making false accusations and having multiple identities? As a result of her accusations he spent three and a half years in prison following a shabby and inadequate police investigation and was exonerated only when the Criminal Cases Review Commission inquiry cleared him and traced her history. Should not mature accusers who perjure themselves in rape trials be named and prosecuted for perjury?” http://www.parliament.the-stationery-office.co.uk/pa/ld199697/ldhansrd/pdvn/lds06/text/61019-0001.htm#06101925001693

Should false accusers of rape have their identity protected even after the person they accused is acquitted? Or like Warren Blackwell, released from prison after her lying is revealed? http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/articles/news/news.html?in_article_id=404898&in_page_id=1770&ico=Homepage&icl=TabModule&icc=NEWS&ct=5
