Evidence

Evidence in criminal cases can put someone in prison. Getting it right matters. Getting away with it matters even more to the perpetrator. The Wikipedia article on Eyewitness identification is especially important. It is what persuades jurors most and what is most likely to be wrong. See Evidence as well. Robert Henderson gives comprehensive advice in Police, Law And You

Don't do it. Failing which don't get caught. Wiping old files properly is possible and desirable not merely regarding this kind of nausea. Albeit the site seems to be for perverts who want to get away with evil.

 

DIY Law
A lot of money claims and bad service claims can be done in person.

 

DNA Evidence Must Be Destroyed
 Blair is a Fascist swine over ruled by Europe. DNA of the not guilty must NOT be held. See Gene Watch too.

 

DNA Evidence And Fraud
QUOTE
 If there's one application of modern genetics that the public has not only accepted but embraced, it's the use of DNA testing in criminal investigations. Courts have accepted DNA evidence as definitive, and it's difficult to imagine a movie or TV show that focuses on law enforcement but declines to use DNA testing as a plot device. The reason is simple: given a valid DNA sample, the tests can match it to its source with probabilities that exclude the rest of our planet's population. Those probabilities still hold, but some researchers have now looked into whether it's possible to fake a valid DNA sample, and they have come up with a disturbing answer: just about any molecular biology lab has the tools to do so.

A Very Dodgy Conviction
 QUOTE
On 2 July 2001 Barry George, 41, was convicted at the Old Bailey of the murder of the broadcaster Jill Dando, best known as the presenter of the BBC programme Crimewatch. Few, if any recent convictions, have been greeted with such disquiet by the media. Leader comment (3 July) from the Daily Mail and Daily Telegraph give the gist of press feeling: "Despite his loathsome character and criminal record, the evidence against George was hardly compelling" (Daily Mail). "...there can be few convictions that need the imprimatur of the higher courts [ie the agreement of the Court of Appeal that the conviction is sound] more than this." (Daily Telegraph). The comment is all the more noteworthy for coming from the two British national newspapers most unfriendly to the criminal and most supportive of the courts and the police.

The BBC was making a fuss because one of their own was murdered. The Met wanted a result. They fingered a half wit with a bit of previous, a man from their List of Usual Suspects. The Crown Prosecution Service allowed extremely dubious evidence to be used to make a case. He went away for eight years because a Jury was not really on the ball. Law is a crap shoot. Scott Lomax goes over the same ground in The Case of Barry George, Legal Notes No. 40, 2003.

 

Expert Evidence
Should you ever trust expert evidence? Not without a large dose of common sense especially if you are at the receiving end.

 

  • Pornography And The Register
    The Register seems very switched on regarding beating paedophile raps and similar nasties. See for example Resistance To Interrogation In England Here is another offering.

     

  • Pornography And The Register 2
    A switched on lawyer is a good start.

     

    Pornography And The Register 3
    This is an important one with solid advice.

    Suspect Identities - A History of Fingerprinting and Criminal Identification
    QUOTE
    "No two fingerprints are alike," or so it goes. For nearly a hundred years fingerprints have represented definitive proof of individual identity in our society. We trust them to tell us who committed a crime, whether a criminal record exists, and how to resolve questions of disputed identity.

    But in Suspect Identities, Simon Cole reveals that the history of criminal identification is far murkier than we have been led to believe. Cole traces the modern system of fingerprint identification to the nineteenth-century bureaucratic state, and its desire to track and control increasingly mobile, diverse populations whose race or ethnicity made them suspect in the eyes of authorities. In an intriguing history that traverses the globe, taking us to India, Argentina, France, England, and the United States, Cole excavates the forgotten history of criminal identification--from photography to exotic anthropometric systems based on measuring body parts, from fingerprinting to DNA typing. He reveals how fingerprinting ultimately won the trust of the public and the law only after a long battle against rival identification systems.

    As we rush headlong into the era of genetic identification, and as fingerprint errors are being exposed, this history uncovers the fascinating interplay of our elusive individuality, police and state power, and the quest for scientific certainty. Suspect Identities offers a necessary corrective to blind faith in the infallibility of technology, and a compelling look at its role in defining each of us.

    Talcum dog team leave red faces
    Teaching dogs the smell of cocaine makes sense. If a cop steals the coke the training is not much use. Are they looking for a thief? Maybe. Did villains get away with it? Maybe. Should you believe a police man? NEVER.

     

    Lockerbie, Perverting Justice And Oil [ 10 September 2000 ]
    QUOTE
    LIBYA may be a headache for Gordon Brown, but some people are doing very nicely from relations with President Gaddafi's government. David Manning, who was Tony Blair's foreign policy advisor when Britain made overtures to Libya and played a crucial role in bringing the Gaddafi regime in from the cold, is now an executive of the BG Group, formerly British Gas, which has one of the most lucrative western energy contracts with Libya......

    In 2005 BG Group signed two major deals with Libya for gas exploration, followed in 2007 by a "joint announcement for cooperation" with Libya's National Oil Company. Now that the al-Megrahi case has been settled to Libya's satisfaction, observers expect this deal to lead to major work - a source of delight, no doubt, to Manning who left the diplomatic service in January 2008 and in July of that year started his £80,000-a-year part time job with BG Group.

    Syria had to be on side for Desert Storm, the American invasion of Kuwait. Fingering someone else, anyone else for the Lockerbie Job was a major political priority. So little Mr al-Megrahi went to prison. Now he is out and we can buy Colonel Gaddafi's oil. See Lockerbie paper trail leads to Brown

    Follow the money is always a good rule with scum like this lot. Notice Justice off to the right looking horrified.

     

    Finger Print Evidence Is Not Good Enough [ 16 November 2007 ]
     QUOTE
    A Baltimore County judge has ruled that fingerprint evidence, a mainstay of forensics for nearly a century, is not reliable enough to be used against a homicide defendant facing a possible death sentence - a finding that national experts described yesterday as unprecedented and potentially far-reaching.
