Duncan Campbell is too unassuming in George case
Duncan Campbell in the Guardian, on the Barry George case, entitles his piece "Assume nothing" and it is subtitled "Barry George's acquittal reminds us that the days of miscarriages of justice are far from over".
Duncan Campbell writes "Unlike many previous miscarriage of justice cases, the police did not fabricate evidence or invent confessions".
It may be the case that the police did not this time invent confessions. However, I feel that Duncan Campbell is wrong to assume that the police did not fabricate evidence. Because, quite clearly the police did fabricate evidence, or at least the Forensic Science Service did. Neither the speck of gun powder nor the hair which were claimed to be evidence had any evidential quality whatsoever.
A mixture of law, politics, autobiography and humour. Once described as "The Devilish Advocate" (Guardian), I do have the ability to provoke a response. Sometimes it comes from someone who uses a thought process, and sometimes from jerks usually associated with the knee.
