People convicted of high profile crimes you reckon are innocent


bhoy who invented weetabix

Recommended Posts

1 - Jeremy Bamber. Convicted of killing his family in 1985 on virtually f**k all evidence

2 - Luke Mitchell. Laddie's a bit odd, must have been him then despite not a shred of forensic evidence

3 - Micheal Ross. Seemed to be found guilty for no other reason than he was into guns and military shit. An eyewitness suddenly recalled seeing him do it twenty years later!!!

4 - Tommy Sheridan. Clearly lied during his libel trial as the Sun/NOTW would never make up pish and induce people to lie

5 - Mickey Steel/Jack Whomes. Convicted of the 1995 Range Rover murders in Essex based solely on the testimony of a paid police informer who had a history of consistently lying in court

Percentage-wise, 4.1% according to this study, but underlines that it's tricky to get a proper handle on the number of faulty convictions. That's about 3,500 people of the ~85,000 folk in British prisons right now.

Slightly more to it than that with regards to Ross.

If you think Tommy is innocent I've got some magic beans to sell you.

Garry O'Connor was guilty.

Heard a story a few years before Deek and Garry were caught with marching powder etc.

Two of them turned up at their former youth teams end of season party (think it was Hutchison Vale) and were asking where might find some substances not associated with a buffet. This was from someone who played with HV and Hibs youth team and had no reason to make this up. At the time they were both doing really well. Reckon they had been getting away with it for years.
