In many of the cases, I have personal knowledge of, relating to convictions, where at the end of the day, a defendant was responsible for the commissioning of such a crime, (whatever that crime was/is) but where police had falsified the evidence, does it make it right, that police should be allowed to falsify such evidence, for the purpose of achieving a conviction?

"I think not"...

But...

"others may take a different view"...

I agree with you Mike.  So called "noble cause corruption" is dangerous because it is based upon the opinions of the police about an individual and it denies the accused a fair trial.  The police are not objective and should never take it upon themselves to falsify evidence where they do not believe they have sufficient legitimate evidence to prosecute.  I have seen this happen in many cases where the police have been convinced that a defendant  committed a specific crime and have beefed up the case with false evidence to secure the conviction.  That is bad enough, but even worse is the case where the police do not even believe the defendant has committed the offence with which he is charged, but fabricate evidence because the defendant is regarded as a "target criminal", usually based upon information provided by a paid police informant, and the defendant is "about due" to be convicted.  From what I have read of your own case Mike it is clear that you were a victim of this type of police corruption.  I do not use the words "noble cause" in describing it, corruption is what it is and it is disgraceful and unacceptable whenever it occurs.  I cannot stand bent police.

There is a part of me, that says that if a person did commit the crime alleged, it does not matter if the police falsified the evidence, to get him/her convicted of the offences for which they end up becoming convicted of, but at the the end of the day, I am utterly opposed to, any reliance upon falsifisd evidence, whether or not, it amounts to so called "noble cause corruption"...

What matters to me...

is whether or not "a defendant, any defendant, receives a just, and a fair trial"...

Amen...

When a defendant receives such a fair trial, he/she can have no complaint, and must accept the reality and lawfullness, of such a coviction ...

Good evening all

Action no. 401 (above) states SC nicotine fingers. Wasn't it reported that Sheila's fingers were "spotless" ?
