Empowering the Innocent

Oct 5
1/3 It does come across as harsh & I'm sorry for that. However, I have been working in this area for almost 20 years & have assessed many hundreds of claims of innocence & know that not all (possibly even most in my experience) of those claiming factual innocence are innocent.

Empowering the Innocent
@EmpowerInnocent
2/3 I also know that whilst some factually innocent victims of wrongful conviction & their loved ones may genuinely & legitimately be smashed to pieces by their experiences & not feel they have the strength to fight that the guilty innocent imposters will use this argument too. https://twitter.com/EmpowerInnocent/status/1180367316036526080

3/3 It really is a tough one but I can only work with those willing to fight publicly & give it all that they have got like the B6, G4, Mike o' Brien did Paul Blackburn and Eddie Guilfoyle, Sue May, Wullie Beck, Ben Geen, Robin Garbutt, Carl Morgan, to name but a few, are doing
https://mobile.twitter.com/EmpowerInnocent


“Robin Garbutt, 45, dialled 999 claiming that his wife, Diana, had been attacked in a break-in at their flat above the Post Office in Melsonby, North Yorks last March.
But tests showed that the 40-year-old had been dead for up to eight hours when he called and extensive inquiries found no witnesses to the apparent break-in, Teesside Crown Court heard.
The jury heard how the couple, who married in April 2003, had a troubled relationship and Mr Garbutt – who was described by his wife as “not into sex” – was also mired in debt at the time of the murder.
David Hatton QC, prosecuting, told the jury how Mr Garbutt dialled 999 shortly after 8.30am on March 23 last year exclaiming: “My wife’s been attacked, she’s gone a funny colour, there’s blood on the pillow.”
He told police that a man with a gun had walked into the shop where he had working and told him to switch off the lights, lock up and not do “anything stupid”, the jury heard.
The postmaster claimed that he had been forced to fill a holdall with cash from the safe.
When the robber left he went upstairs, where his wife had been having a lie-in, to find that she had been attacked, he claimed.
But when paramedics arrived they found blood had matted in her hair and reported that rigor mortis had already set in.
Analysis of the semi-digested remains of the fish and chips she had eaten the previous evening showed that she had died between 2am and 4.30am, the jury was told.
It was the second time in a year that Mr Garbutt had reported a robbery at the Post Office.
On the previous occasion, he claimed that £10,000 had been taken but none of the villagers had seen anything suspicious and police made no arrests, the jury heard.
“The prosecution maintain the defendant murdered his wife,” Mr Hatton told the jury, as he opened the case.
“We do not take on the responsibility of establishing a motive.
“Only two people knew what their relationship was really like and one of them is dead.
“Behind the facade of a happy and financially comfortable couple there were problems and all was not as it might have appeared on the surface to the public eye.”
He outlined how Mrs Garbutt, a former court official who had retrained as a postmistress when they took over the shop, had been unfaithful to her husband.
She had admitted to him that she had had sex with a man at a party in York in December 2008 while her husband slept upstairs, Mr Hatton said.
Mrs Garbutt also kissed the husband of a cousin at a family party in Wales.
She later wrote the man a note saying she felt “seedy” but raised the possibility that they could “start over without the emotional baggage”.
There were also flirtatious contacts on Facebook with a villager, with whom she also went for late-night cycle rides when Mr Garbutt was asleep.
She used to ask the man about his divorce and discuss her own private life, the court heard.
“She said the defendant wasn’t into sex and they were going to see a sex therapist,” said Mr Hatton.
Mrs Garbutt also used internet dating sites and had accessed her profile on the “Badoo” chat website the night before she was killed, the court heard.
He added that Mr Garbutt had run up £30,000 of debts on his credit cards and had recently bolstered his overdrawn current account by transferring large sums of cash he had received by special delivery post.
But a relief postmistress was due to take over the running of the shop for a few weeks when the couple went on holiday – potentially uncovering any discrepancy in the accounts, Mr Hatton said.
“The perception of the Melsonby villagers of a rosy and loving relationship was, say the prosecution, far from the full picture,” he added.
“Here was a man with increasing debt desperately trying not to outwardly fail in his business or his marriage.”
Mr Garbutt denies murder. The case continues

Bayes and the Law - Norman Fenton, Martin Neil, and Daniel Berger

Excerpt:
“It is difficult to determine the extent to which the LR for presenting forensic evidence other than DNA has been used in courts. Although mostly unreported, we know of cases involving glass, fibres and soil matches, while articles now promote its use in fingerprint evidence (Alberink et al., 2014; Nuemann et al., 2011). The most impressive well-publicised success concerns its use in relation to firearm discharge residue (FDR) in (R. v. George, EWCA Crim 2722, 2007); the use of the LR in the appeal – showing that the FDR evidence had ‘no probative value’ was the reason granted for a retrial (in which George was found not guilty) with the FDR evidence deemed inadmissible. The appeal court ruling in this case (along with our concerns about the over-simplistic use of the LR that we return to in Section 4) is discussed in detail in (Fenton et al., 2013a).

However, while the R v George appeal judgment can be considered a major success for the use of Bayes, the 2010 UK Court of Appeal Ruling - known as (R v T, 2010) - dealt it a devastating blow. The ruling quashed a murder conviction in which the prosecution had relied heavily on footwear matching evidence presented using Bayes and the LR. Specifically, even though there was recognition that it was used for this purpose in Netherlands, Slovenia and Switzerland) points 86 and 90 of the ruling respectively assert:

“We are satisfied that in the area of footwear evidence, no attempt can realistically be made in the generality of cases to use a formula to calculate the probabilities. The practice has no sound basis”.

“It is quite clear that outside the field of DNA (and possibly other areas where there is a firm statistical base) this court has made it clear that Bayes’ theorem and likelihood ratios should not be used”

Given its potential to change the way forensic experts analyse and present evidence in court, there have been numerous articles criticising the ruling (Aitken and many other signatories, 2011; Berger et al., 2011; Morrison, 2012; Nordgaard et al., 2012; Redmayne et Berger, 2012). These papers recognise that there were weaknesses in the way the expert presented the probabilistic evidence (in particular not making clear that likelihood ratios for different aspects of the evidence were multiplied together to arrive at a composite likelihood ratio), but nevertheless express deep concern about the implications for the future presentation, by experts, of forensic evidence.

Maybe Michael Naughton should ask Michelle Diskin Bates to explain - after all she accepted Simon Hall’s guilt and was so concerned she made the following public statement “this confession damages the credibility of all those still fighting for justice”

Maybe it’s time for Michelle Diskin Bates to explain in detail why she appeared able to accept Simon Hall’s guilt and why she felt compelled to write what she did when she did.


September 10, 2013 at 10:04 am
Michelle Diskin Bates stated:“As a family member of a terrible miscarriage of justice, the victim being Barry George, convicted of the murder of Jill Dando; the Simon Hall confession is a concern because it is already so difficult for true MOJs to be believed by the public; this confession damages the credibility of all those still fighting for justice. But this is just one case. The British Justice System makes many, many more errors when it choses to build its cases around a person, rather than on the actual evidence. One confession is not a comfortable situation for those fighting miscarriages of justice, but is it worse than keeping hundreds of innocents locked up for crimes they did not commit? All of us who choose to stand up for justice need to take this on the chin, and move on…back to those who deserve to have their cases reviewed and quashed. Our justice system uses ‘smoke and mirrors’, rather than real honest evidence to convict.

4.  They demand warmth, forgiveness, and intimacy from those they have harmed with no empathy for the pain they have caused and no real intention of making amends or working hard to rebuild broken trust. (Proverbs 21:10; 1 Peter 2:16; Jude 1:4).

4. Evil hearts play on the sympathies of good-willed people, often trumping the grace card.
They demand mercy but give none themselves.

Evil hearts have no conscience, no remorse.
Slide 5 of 10
They do not struggle against sin or evil—they delight in it—all the while masquerading as someone of noble character. (Proverbs 2:14–15; 10:23; 12:10; 21:27,29; Isaiah 32:6; Romans 1:30; 2 Corinthians 11:13–15)

Boutflour was never a suspect. You have to consider all the pieces of evidence wholly - not separately and in isolation from the other pieces of evidence.

Boutflour was a regular visitor that used the guns.
Would be reasonable to conclude one would expect to perhaps find his blood or DNA on the Guns and to exclude Sheila if they shared same blood group.

There's no credible evidence against Boutflour. Are you claiming he shot himself and that's how his blood allegedly ended up on the silencer? I'm struggling to follow your logic.

He never admitted he was guilty till after he lost his appeal.
Like I have said to you in another post how do you judge factual innocence ?
Michael found the flock fibre evidence to be flawed and Keir Starmer said without it the case collapsed.

He later confessed to killing Joan Albert and he admitted was “seriously violent” and said there had been “sexual aspects” to the murder.

His wife called him a “highly disturbed individual”.

So have you seen a confirmed signed confession or are you just taking his wifes word for it.
She thought he was that disturbed she could not wait to marry him in prison.

You’re making a schoolboy error i.e. you’re considering each piece of evidence separately and in isolation from the other pieces of evidence. Julie Mugford’s testimony was compelling evidence against Jeremy Bamber.

Jeremy Bamber has got a roof over his head, he gets three square meals a day and I'm sure he keeps himself entertained seeing as he's a confirmed bachelor.

Empowering the Innocent
@EmpowerInnocent
We investigated his claim of innocence to determine its truthfulness & helped get his case referred back to the CoA. We were told that he confessed & then committed suicide but have never seen any evidence that he murdered Joan Albert. How did he do it? The fibres didn’t match?

The defence claimed the fibres didn't match? Well, they would, wouldn't they?  The Court of Appeal looked at the forensic evidence and upheld the murder conviction.

Maybe Michael Naughton should ask Michelle Diskin Bates to explain - after all she accepted Simon Hall’s guilt and was so concerned she made the following public statement “this confession damages the credibility of all those still fighting for justice”

Maybe it’s time for Michelle Diskin Bates to explain in detail why she appeared able to accept Simon Hall’s guilt and why she felt compelled to write what she did when she did.

Michelle Diskin Bates stated:“As a family member of a terrible miscarriage of justice, the victim being Barry George, convicted of the murder of Jill Dando; the Simon Hall confession is a concern because it is already so difficult for true MOJs to be believed by the public; this confession damages the credibility of all those still fighting for justice. But this is just one case. The British Justice System makes many, many more errors when it choses to build its cases around a person, rather than on the actual evidence. One confession is not a comfortable situation for those fighting miscarriages of justice, but is it worse than keeping hundreds of innocents locked up for crimes they did not commit? All of us who choose to stand up for justice need to take this on the chin, and move on…back to those who deserve to have their cases reviewed and quashed. Our justice system uses ‘smoke and mirrors’, rather than real honest evidence to convict.
