2) Birmingham Riots 2011: Judge Appeals for Calm After Eight Cleared of Murder

What is important about this case, is that during the trial, it emerged that a number of the witnesses against the eight, had at the time of the riot, been arrested for various offences, but a senior police officer offered to drop the charges if they would testify against the eight. (You would probably need to get a transcript of the trial, to get the full details.)

Eight men have been cleared of murdering three friends who were hit by a car during last summer's riots as they attempted to protect local businesses in Birmingham. As the not guilty verdicts were returned by the jury at the city's crown court, the trial judge appealed for calm within the community following the "tragic and pointless loss of three young lives". All eight defendants denied they planned to kill the men, Haroon Jahan, 21, and brothers Shazad Ali, 30, and Abdul Musavir, 31, in the early hours of 10 August last year, at a time of "unparalleled" civil disorder on the streets of the city. The defendants said the deaths were an accident and the jury accepted their version of events after they deliberated for just over four hours in a trial that lasted for almost three months.

3) 72 Victims of West Midlands Serious Crime Squad had their Convictions Quashed

The West Midlands Serious Crime Squad was a police unit in the West Midlands which operated from 1974 to 1989. It was disbanded after an investigation into allegations against some of its officers of incompetence and abuses of power. Although numerous officers were found to have fitted up many of those they had arrested, not one of them ever spent a minute in prison. 72 known Miscarriages of Justice were later overturned on appeal, including the cases of the Birmingham Six, Bridgewater Four.

Below are the names of those who were fitted up by the West Midlands Serious Crime Squad, all served serious time in prison.

5) Misconduct Cases For 19 Police Officers and Staff Over Prior Contact with Birmingham Murder Victim

An IPCC investigation into West Midlands Police contact with Jacqueline Oakes prior to her murder in Birmingham has concluded that 19 officers and staff have a case to answer for misconduct. The evidence suggested that there was also a case to answer for gross misconduct for one, now retired, officer. No misconduct was identified for a further 20 officers and staff whose actions were investigated. Following a referral from the force IPCC investigators examined 19 reported incidents involving Ms Oakes and her ex-partner Marcus Musgrove, before he killed her at Edgbaston in January 2014. The IPCC investigation made recommendations around identifying vulnerable individuals like Ms Oakes on police systems, so that officers can better address any associated risk. Further recommendations were aimed at improving the understanding of the force’s domestic abuse policy amongst frontline staff, and around the level of supervision and training for control room staff members.
