Gross miscarriages of justice that lead to suicide


All because someone's credit card is stolen:

Indecent child images downloaded using the card.

Police track down the card owner.

Inspite of no other evidence a man is convicted of being a Paedophile.

He loses his job, his friends, his family

and takes his own life.

Are we not too quick to jump to the wrong conclusions sometimes?

" Legal challenge to web child abuse inquiry.

Claim that hundreds were convicted through flawed credit card evidence."

No, not really. Remember, these type of people are extemely manipulative, and would wriggle out of any corner quicker than a greased weasel.....reserve your judgement!!

And it was you?

Have you read the article?

Have you not had your credit card details stolen?

Then if it had been used for child porn files - (lucky , mine was used for a £1500 airline ticket!) - you'd be in jail and lost everything! No supporting evidence required.

Surely you're not one of these "jumping to conclusions" athletes.

I must admit there are plenty of them around these days.
