Hundreds of prosecutions for child pornography could be challenged after a police liaison officer in the Soham schoolgirls murder case was cleared of possessing indecent images yesterday ... the CPS also admitted that "substantial errors" by an expert meant the basis of its case against DC Stevens was "wholly wrong". The collapse of the case could have serious implications for hundreds of pending prosecutions for possession of child pornography, as well as undermining previous cases in which people have been convicted on the evidence of the same expert. A spokesman said the CPS would "review all the issues" arising from the case. 21 August 2003 http://news.independent.co.uk/uk/crime/story.jsp?story=435682 ------------------------------------------------------- http://www.ananova.com/news/story/sm_824618.html Ananova: Prosecution ruled out in internet case A detective arrested on suspicion of downloading indecent images of children from the internet will not be charged with any offence. A spokesman said: "An Essex police officer arrested on September 26, 2002 in connection with Operation Ore...will not face criminal charges. "Following a rigorous investigation by Essex police in conjunction with the National Crime Squad a report was sent to the Crown Prosecution Service, who decided that the evidence available was insufficient to result in a conviction at court." Story filed: 17:57 Tuesday 30th September 2003 ------------------------------------------------------- "Perceptions" note: We see that "errors" or "legal techicalities" in cases against authority-figures are often `spotted' in time to save pedophile judges, magistrates etc from suffering any penalty .. but rigged evidence fitting-up working-class men (for murders committed by the elite?) goes un-noticed, resulting in long jail terms served by innocent men - to give guilty VIPs a clear run?
