Hi Petey,
I have just noticed this post you made and it appears your percentages are a little out - MOJ's are not a tiny tiny percentage - you being a solicitor and all that, I would have thought you would be more up to speed.
Michael Mansfield QC recenlty gave an interview on the subject and compared MOJ's today, as bad if not more so, than they were in the 80's.
Petey can I ask you where you stand on JB's case? The red foum say you believe he's guilty but your earlier posts suggest you think he's Innocent?
If you consider every single case in every single court, including supreme court, c of a, High court, mags court, youth court, county court...... then miscarriages of justice are a tiny tiny percentage. Of course it is difficult to provide a completely accurate percentage as many victims of miscarriages of justices do not have their sentences overturned, so it is not known that it is a miscarriage of justice. For example JB, Simon, Duane could well all be miscarriages of justice, but they currently are not recorded as such.
I work in corporate / commercial law and touched upon employment law during my tc, so not an expert in criminal law.
I first covered the course during my degree at which point I thought JB 90% innocent. Interest reawakened when I read Scott Lomax book and though him 80% innocent. Did further internet research and joined this forum about 14 months ago thinking JB about 70-80% innocent. Have yet to see any tangible evidence which proves the case either way, so currently I prob about 60% think JB is innocent. But want to see compelling evidence either way.
