Just reading of a guy who was jailed for 15 years for alleged rape,assault and robbery with violence. He had no witnesses as to where he was at the time, though he was 12 miles away,but he couldn't produce any evidence of his claim that it wasn't him,so he was jailed,regardless. That was in 2005 when he was jailed.
But,his DNA didn't match that which was found at the scene and his lawyer has now demanded his release.However,he's still in jail because hardly any judicial procedures have been carried out.
The real culprit had been bypassed by the Spanish police and neither the judge who first handled the innocent mans' case in Fuengirola,nor the court which condemned him in Malaga followed the police recommendation to seek further forensic evidence from Britain.
Mark Dixie is also wanted in Australia as an alleged murderer and serial rapist.
It looks like it's not only here where the powers that be won't back down,but in Spain too.
Romano van der Dusson remains locked up,even though the authorities know he's not guilty.
