Disclosure of evidence and denial of it in terms of the Human Rights Convention.

Disclosure of evidence and denial of it in terms of the Human Rights Convention. is another article published on the main site, highlighting yet another area where procedures are either not followed or the code of conduct is bent to breaking point causing many miscarriages of justice. As with most of the reasons people are wrongly accused/convicted these failures to observe protocol could also result in guilty people being acquitted on the grounds that their verdicts can no longer be considered safe.

Safeguard Child Witnesses

Safeguard Child Witnesses is a petition I have set up to seek enforcement of the guidelines which are intended to keep our children's well being preserved during all interviews. Changes should include the video recording of all phases of their interviews and enforceable penalties on individuals/agencies which fail to comply.

An account of prison life in Craiginches

Through my work on the main wrongly accused person website, I frequently post articles related to matters of law or circumstances which can affect those unfortunate enough to be wrongly accused.
One of the things that affects such a person is the conditions of prison if they are remanded in custody until their trial.
This article can be found either on the site at http://www.wronglyaccusedperson.org.uk/articles/view.asp?ID=9&CID= or on the ezine publisher site via http://ezinearticles.com/?id=2370331.
You are free to publish this article on your own site if you wish providing it is sourced from the ezine-article site using the code provided.

The need to address the issue of stress and anxiety caused by being wrongly accused or being a family member of someone who is features strongly in the main site's forum. Music has been cited as a popular way of unwinding along with reading.
Many people find that soothing music or an interesting article/book helps to reduce their stress levels and more able to cope with what they are having to face daily. For that reason I have today added a Radio Relax page on the site with scrolling text features for those who prefer to read. The playlist is chosen from available streaming sources and will keep expanding anytime I think of an appropriate track to add, if you would like to suggest a track you can do so through the site's contact page or in the relevant thread on the forum. I will be only too pleased to add it if I consider it appropriate and the necessary streaming source exists.

New related articles

My main site now contains many new related articles published either by myself or Sandra Lean who is becoming more involved with the site (More to come on that in a few weeks).
There are also some written by other authors on related matters and links to relevant news articles, including the recently added page which highlights aspects of police behaviour and conduct which are wholly unacceptable. Can any justice system be fair while those individuals are at the helm?
There is a growing body of evidence to instances of injustice, and a growing list of reasons why it occurs. Please feel free to visit the site and see for yourselves, but don't forget to vote on child witness interviews.

Guidelines on child interviews.

With clear and concise guidelines on how child witnesses are interviewed it may come as something of an alarm for those with no experience to learn that these are seldom followed.
Often with no suitable adult and with little regard to a minors routine, the most precious of us all, our children are often subjected to an ordeal which is in no way in their best interests with the guidelines flaunted providing no protection to their well being.
It is highly recommended that a planning phase is carried out before any vulnerable witness provides a statement to ensure just that but more often than not they are dragged in before even having a chance to come to terms with whatever they are being quizzed about.
Not eaten? - no matter they'll be back soon (5 or six hours later having missed 2 meals and their usual bedtime).
Suitable adult? - Could you wait outside please while I ask some inappropriate questions in private?
Is that everything you can tell us? - Don't worry, its not taped or video recorded and we'll get you back in again and again until we get the answers that fit our enquiry!
Is this really how we want our children treated? No didn't think you would agree with it, but it's what happens time and time again.
Please come and vote 'YES' to a petition to ensure that guidelines become manditory to protect our children from those who are supposed to ensure their safety.

Welcome to the Wrongly Accused Person blog page

Following a tragic incident detailed more fully on the Wrongly Accused Person website, I was arrested and charged with an horrendous crime I couldn't have committed and remanded for almost 6 months in HMP Aberdeen.
During that time I became aware of what really happens in our justice system and how easy it is to convict someone for something they have never done and could never do. I was lucky and had a good legal team who secured my acquittal following what can only be described as a ridiculous attempt at prosecution. Even defence witnesses corroborated everything I had persistently said from day one, ultimately showing the case against me for what it was. However the damage done to so many innocent people in the process is something we will never be able to fully recover from on top of the tragic loss we suffered prior to it.
After my acquittal I quickly decided that the justifiable anger and bitterness I felt was in no ways going to help, neither me nor anyone else so decided to channel my emotions towards making a difference to others affected by the same routine actions. Actions which happen day in, day out across the whole of the UK creating more victims than it protects.
Now that I've started I find more and more shocking stories everyday, more victims and more families torn apart by those we entrust to keep us safe. Patterns of the system emerge at every wrongful arrest or imprisonment which in my opinion proves that these regular occurrences can be nothing other than deliberate though I am undecided as to the motive. Is it to secure and meet conviction rates, to exceed targets on crime and prosecution or simply to further the careers of those responsible who often are acting in positions above that of which they normally hold? In any event the tally sheets of many require serious recalculation and any found lacking in integrity exposed to allow the public to have an informed view on whether or not we have a justice system to be proud of.
I have however through my work on the site been introduced to Sandra Lean, the author of "No Smoke, The Shocking Truth About The British Justice System.", who after years of experience in this area can recite the process I went through without being told a thing. Her book is available via the site, and I am glad to say it seems we will be working closely together to make the difference needed for everyone's security in the future.
The time is right for change, for improvement and for proper justice to prevail over that which currently exists.

Welcome,

Billy Middleton
