"There is absolutely no question that when the CCRC have absorbed the information they will shortly be sent the case will be referred to the court of appeal"
A big bold statement, don't believe a word of it. If the submissions are 'finished' why are they still waiting for 7 reports? Having an airtight case, isn't for them to say.
I agree with Caroline, the CCRC are governed by the attitude of the appellate court, the CCRC is not independent, it was introduced in 2000 to stem the number of cases involving police corruption and malpractice being in the headlines for the wrong reasons! The CCRC is there to try to suppress miscarriages of justice resulting in convictions being quashed, in cases which portray the police the COS and the judiciary in a poor light!
The CCRC should be disbanded, and those that have worked for the CCRC since its inception in 2900 should be compelled to pay the income they have all been receiving, because none of them have earned it honestly!
The CCRC should be disbanded, it is not fit for purpose!!!!
