Martin Foran - The Forgotten Man

Angebote / Angebote:

Martin Foran is the only person in British Legal history to have suffered a double miscarriage of justice and this is the compelling account of his 40 year fight for justice following almost 20 years of wrongful imprisonment. With only a short time to live, Foran's has been a lone voice against the establishment for 40 years before suppressed evidence emerged to prove his innocence. After being framed for six crimes he did not commit resulting in two convictions and almost 20 years in prison, Foran's second conviction was eventually quashed in 2013 after a 17 year battle. He continued his fight against his first conviction which was referred to the Court Of Appeal and this too was quashed on October 3rd, 2014. Compensation has been refused for both these fraudulent convictions and is still being contested. In their determination to convict him, the West Midlands Serious Crime Squad resorted to an unprecedented level of corruption and fraud. This corruption became endemic right to the top of the Force and into the heart of the justice system until Lord Justice Leveson ordered their disbandment in 1989. This is not for the squeamish as his prison treatment is described in candid detail. The book also reveals disturbing evidence of corruption at the highest level.
