Read about how Ann Whelan describes the police and judicial corruption. How they created documents, got witnesses to lie (perjury), invented charges ... just as they have done for 6 years with Brian Pead and for six years with Richard Fulcher.
The Borough Council of King's Lynn and West Norfolk stole a rare Book of Common Prayer from an elderly 91 year woman under the guise of 'cleaning her home'. But that was not all. They stole rare stamps, Roman coins, more than 100,000 rare postcards, etc etc ... then claimed they had done it to 'de-clutter' her home (which she owns outright!) When her elderly husband died, the police tried to blame Violet's son, Robert, for killing his father.
The ability of the police to lie about, invent charges against and prosecute perfectly innocent and decent people knows no limits.
Brian Pead had variously been described as a 'monster', a 'pervert' and a 'paedophile' ONLY AFTER HE UNCOVERED CHILD ABUSE IN LAMBETH COUNCIL. Before that, he was a regular guy aged 55 with no previous. You couldn't make it up. In Brian's illegal trial at Southwark Crown Court in 2009, THERE NEVER WAS A VICTIM.
Richard Fulcher was accused of Threats to Kill by his solicitors ONLY AFTER HE COMPLAINED ABOUT THE POOR SERVICE HE WAS GETTING AND ABOUT LOCAL COUNCIL CORRUPTION.
The police and the judiciary like to portray themselves as 'whiter than white' and the UK justice system as the 'best in the world'. The vast majority of the public have NO IDEA of the corruption going on in courts EVERY DAY under the guise of the best justice system in the world. It is far from the best. We believe that the Courts in England & Wales commit more human rights abuses than China ... only the BBC would never dare expose them! Which is why Savile got away with his crimes for so long.
Now read Ann Whelan's story. Afterwards you might like to ask "Why are the courts in England and Wales SO corrupt and why are the paedophile judges and police allowed to get away with their crimes?
Ann's story:
In 1978 my son, along with three other men, was charged with a horrendous crime - the murder of newspaper boy Carl Bridgewater. I watched in complete shock and disbelief - how could this have happened to my son and myself? As the court proceedings gathered pace, false confessions were produced and dubious witnesses perjured themselves. The police were more than anxious to bring a conviction and, as we know today, they falsified documents to secure a conviction.
When the guilty verdict was pronounced, I vowed that I would clear the names of my son, Michael, Jim Robinson, Pat Molloy and Vincent Hickey. I knew that a gross miscarriage of justice had been perpetrated and that justice would prevail. What I was not prepared for was the time that it would take and the opposition that I would encounter along the way.
I did not know where to start and to whom I could turn. In those early days I felt very much alone, but as my campaign got under way, people began to take notice. However, the police and judiciary will never easily admit that they are wrong and it took almost twenty years before they were finally forced to concede that a miscarriage of justice had taken place. I have made a great many friends over these years and I am indebted to them all. So many of them would have liked to have contributed their experience to the production of this booklet but, for reasons of space, this was not possible. Our hope is that it will serve as a useful guide to both innocent prisoners and their families in their fight for justice. If such a booklet had been available to me in those early days, I really believe that my campaign would have been shorter.
Unfortunately, the judiciary still does not appear to have learned from its past mistakes. At the time of writing no police officers have been brought to justice for the part they played in the Bridgewater Four miscarriage of justice or any other, and there are still corrupt police around who will do anything to further their own ends. It is, therefore, sadly inevitable that there will be further miscarriages of justice. The important lesson to learn is that every effort must be made from the very start to demolish the evidence of the prosecution. Once a conviction has been made, it is very difficult to reverse -the law does not like to be proved wrong and, as I have learned, it takes many years of full-time work to prove a miscarriage of justice has taken place.
In solidarity
Ann Whelan, January 1999
