How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.

True story: friend of mine was implicated sideways in a minor fraud committed by a friend of his.

Anyways, after three months or so he got all of it back apart from one laptop which they alleged had child porn on it.
He was charged and bailed - could not go within 500 yards of children, not allowed access to PCs (again, a major bummer for him) and ended up living with his parents as they had a place in the country. Destroyed his livelihood. Only when it got to court a year later was it noticed that the creation dates of all the alleged files were AFTER the laptop was seized by the police. Funnily, the police pushed him very strongly beforehand to plead guilty as otherwise his name would be in all the papers, his neighbours would find out, etc., etc.Comment

I have been to court cases where people I know have been stitched up by the police to the extent that evidence had been planted. What amazes me is that evidence has been planted in such a ridiculous manner the judges tend to go along with it. However, I did attend one appeal where a very clever barrister employed an ex-policemen to investigate the evidence in the case. When in court the case got to the stage that he was proving that evidence was planted; the police along with the CID inspectors walked out of court. Five minutes afterwards the Judge called a hold to the case and dismissed the case for the prosecution. There was no hint what so ever of the Police being prosecuted for prudery or perverting the cause of justice."A people that elect corrupt politicians, imposters, thieves and traitors are not victims, but accomplices," George OrwellComment
