No, they're not :confused:. If they're found to be talking rubbish then they're prosecuted.

No Moses, they're not.

In fact what the police do is disrupt the life of the accused as much as possible, drive them to the point of complete breakdown and then turn around after it's disproved, shrug their shoulders and go "oh well, no harm no foul eh"?

Meanwhile 15 years later the accused is still struggling with it.
 
Surely he can file a case against the police, media, football clubs and the whole "justice" system

And most importantly, the girl for making false accusations, having his liberty withdrawn (prison) and having his career ruined. They need to bankrupt her and lock her up for a very long time to make an example of her. (Assuming he didn't do it, of course....)

Doesn't that depend on if he's found not guilty (presumed innocent) or innocent?
Or in this country is not guilty the same as innocent? (I can never remember our laws).
 
Based on what?! He was convicted at trial, based on the info they had at the time. There's now new evidence which gives a real possibility his conviction may be quashed (it's not saying he's innocent or guilty).

Can you spell out what the people you've listed did wrong..? :o

He will likely get 500K from the government in compensation as that is the limit for a miscarriage of justice which if he is found not guilty will be the case here.

He could go on to take action against the police force if there were errors in the investigation.

I can't see anything but a not guilty verdict being returned I still can't work out how a jury found him guilty last time and yes I have read the transcript etc.
 
I'd be interested to know what this 'new evidence' actually is.

I have no idea but I suspect it is something tiny but just enough to get it back in a court room which is what they have been trying to do since he was convicted. The original case is so thread bare that I can't imagine the same verdict being returned again.
 
Even if he's cleared I don't think it'll stop the lynch mob, it'll probably just make them even more determined to ruin the rest of his life.

The media have played a big role in stirring up this case the Jury would have got slaughtered for ruling not guilty.
