The wrongful imprisonment of Mr John David Guise Cannan.

(1/8) > >>

AerialHunter:
Mr John Cannan has spent the last 28 years behind bars for the murder of Mrs Shirley Banks in 1986. Much to his own disadvantage he has maintained his innocence during his incarceration, the system being determined to keep him detained as he is "In Denial Of Murder", IDOM for short. This, for the uninitiated, is a modern day version of the ducking stool, it's just carried out over 40 years instead of 40 minutes, confess and we'll let you go, deny and you die.

There are a number of discrepancies in the investigation which remain questionable, even the superb investigation team, led by the excellent Bryan Saunders expressed doubt on occasion when looking at the evidence, that doubt was maintained by Saunders right up to the trial. The thing the police hadn't spotted is that they were, in fact, too thorough. Between the investigators and the forensic team they found everything that was left for them to find. This simple fact accounts for all the "errors" in the case.

This case is the tip of an iceberg and the police don't want to know. A number of outstanding cases in and around the Bristol area have been linked, and still they have their heads in the sand. A sad indictment of the times, I'm no longer afraid to say.

Yeah I am sure John Cannan is innocent - In a parallel universe somewhere far far away.

AerialHunter:
For sure Cannan is guilty as sin, his behaviour prior to his arrest for murder was intolerable, of that there is no doubt, his own admission of armed robbery, rape, deceit, etc are all well documented. But the hard facts remain that he never targeted women purely with the intent of causing them harm, everything was a secondary event during the pursuit of a robbery. Don't get me wrong, he has served the sentence he should have got when he was given 8 years for the attack in Leamington Spa, I don't have the slightest shred of sympathy for him, 28 years is about right for rape in my view, however, the fact remains that he did not kill Mrs Shirley Banks. After his incarceration the attacks on women continued, the ruling powers have made it quite clear what our opinion is, but, unfortunately for them, some of us are not that compliant. They never considered that the attacks were connected, they steadfastly refuse to even consider such an approach even though we offered to try and help them. The police and the judiciaries primary consideration is to maintain the status of their own position and prevent it being called into question, it is not to seek justice, a result, any result in fact is the only objective, and they do not give a monkeys who gets the blame, that is not their problem.

AerialHunter:
Yet more evidence of the UK police suffering from an outbreak of ineptitude. Have a read about Romano van Der Dussen, incarcerated for years for a crime he could not have committed, and just draw the parallels with Cannan. Hopeless, absolutely hopeless.

What makes you think Cannan's case is a MOJ?...... A murderer continuously claiming innocence is hardly evidence. Jeremy Bamber has been doing that for decades and he is guilty beyond any doubt.
