I am prisoner 895-839, I have no other identity. I have been held hostage by the British Judicial and Penal systems for 23 years and 3 months. Since my arrest on the 1st of May 1977. I have had no voice from within these prison walls and I would implore you to read on in the name of Truth and Justice.Since the conviction and hanging of Timothy Evans, (the last person to be publicly assasinated by the British state) whom later received a posthumous royal pardon, the judicial system has not progressed one bit.In the recent spate of erroneous convictions of the Guildford 4, Birmingham 6, Tottenham 3, Cardiff 3, Judith ward Durvell brothers, John McGranigan, Eddie Browning, Taylor sisters, Stefon Kisko, M25 three. Not one single police officer has been convicted of any wrong doing or malpractice, in fact in some of these cases, if not all, the judiciary have exonerated the police.

Over the years I have politely listened to successive smug faced, Home Secretary’s, appeal court judges and chief superintendents, with their self righteous, self opinionated, self appraisal. Extolling the virtues of the judicial system and at the same time this pedantic bureaucracy continues to justify it’s actions and machinations, whilst vindicating each other

This inherent disease has spread so far and wide that the administrators of law will do everything in their hands to leave the police without dirt on their hands and continue to use judicial policys to design the truth beyond recognition.

Who then is to blame for these erroneous convictions?

They are products of negligent, corrupt policing, false confessions, fabricated evidence/exhibits, coercion of witnesses that impede the discovery of truth and a compete lack of detecting skills. Combine this with an archaic, apathetic judiciary that bosses its convictions, infallible certainties and there you have it.

I have the necessary qualifications to know what i’m advocating. I was convicted at Manchester Crown Court, on a manufactured compilation of lies that was totally inconsistent with the facts of the crime. 23 years later I am still adamant in my resolve to get the truth revealed.

The evidence the prosecution presented to the court consisted of a pair of bloodstained jeans that were totally irrelevant to the victim or myself. The jeans belonged to a woman whom had suffered a miscarriage, the blood was of a different group to the victim and myself. Therefore the jeans should never have been used as an exhibit and should never have been allowed to be presented in court.

The jeans were exhibited to the jury as a tendentious play to connect me in any way, shape or form, to bloodstained clothing and to provide an efficacious effect to the eyes and minds of the jurors.

Learned judge Milmo, stated in summation and I quote “We all know the jeans are irrelevant, members of the jury, but they must have shocked the defendant very considerably.” He also misdirected the jury in his summing up, which was confusing, ambiguous and paradoxical by failing to give an adequate direction in law, as to what conclusions the jury might reach in relation to the jeans.

There was another suspect, named Robert James Hill, apprehended by police and picked out in an identity parade. My defence council, QC Benet Higtner and I were aware of this information prior to the trial. What we were not aware of was he police discovered that the suspects clothes were bloodstained, a hammer with blood staining on the handle and more importantly a green fibre was discovered on the victims coat that matched the green jumper found n Robert Hills flat.

My QC Benet Hytner, was not privy to the existence of this evidence, so there was no mention of it in court. Benet has since stated that he did not know this evidence existed: that it was inconceivable that he was not given prior knowledge of this - because if he had it would have been central to my defence.

This vital piece of evidence was, in my opinion blatantly suppressed and the non - disclosure of the fibre evidence was crucial and essential to my defence.

Therefore it is increasingly obvious that there has been material non - disclosure in this case and this is a very serious abuse of Due Process of Law.

There was no forensic evidence to connect me to the scene of the crime or the victim. I was convicted on the bases of an uncorroborated confession that was taken from me by detective inspector Butler. This same detective who arrested, assaulted and interrogated me was later convicted of perverting the course of justice and sentenced to 4 years in prison.

To finish I would like to reiterate “I have had no voice from within these prison walls.”

Yours in Good Faith
