Police shop around for experts who will support the verdict they want 

Sir John Stevens Metropolitan Police Commissioner Guilty go free, warns top policeman.  

I agree There has NOT been ----- 'One death in custody' ---- where thhe police and the CPS ---- has immediately charged a police officer with an offence.
It takes years and years and then only after they are forced to.  Very often there will never be any charges

In the 3 cases police are charged by the CPS after years of refusing to do so.
The judge stops the trial and the jury is not allowed to hear ALL the evidence and give a verdict

This 'BBC News report' ---- EXPOSES THE WAY POLICE THINK after a 'Death in custody'
    1) To ("Shop around for experts such as pathologists")
and any other experts that will give evidence in court and support the verdict the police want.
    2) That will support the police version why a death occurred' ..... so police are not charged or convicted for 'Deaths in custody' (or when people are injured.)

6th March 2002 - Sir John Stevens Metropolitan Police Commissioner

Sir John Stevens criticized .... (the defence) lawyers .... who exploited legal loopholes and "shopped around" for forensic experts who would support their cases.

So this exposes what the police do, the POLICE SHOP AROUND FOR FORENSIC EXPERTS WHO WILL SUPPORT THE VERDICT THE POLICE WANT. Going to the USA to try to justify how Mr H Stanley was shot. 

  1. Dr Lewinski in the USA said that in the two seconds it takes an officer to draw and pull the trigger, a suspect can fire nine rounds.
    A person can turn and move as much as 13ft (4m) in one second.

  2. NOT WHEN THE POLICE ALREADY HAVE GUNS IN THEIR HANDS
    Inspector Sharman and PC Kevin Fagan where aiming their guns at Mr H Stanley 

  3. And not when a person like Mr H Stanley who was turning around could only walk painfully after an operation for colon cancer.
  4. The two officers that shot Mr Harry Stanley had the guns in their hands and already aiming their guns so Dr Lewinski theory in this case is UNRELATED .
  5. But the CPS desperately looking for any excuse have a brain loss and conveniently forget Dr Lewinski theory is when the police have to draw their guns ... not when the police are already aiming their guns at someone.
  6. The CPS thinking the public cannot read and understand jump on this unrelated theory to refuse to charge the police officer responsible for murdering Mr H Stanley
  7. But it would explain why Mr Tony Martin shot a very agile burglars in his house after being challenged and they tried to escape
  8. Dr Lewinski theory applies more to what happened in Mr Tony Martin case
  9. But the police quickly charge and the CPS quickly convict Mr Tony Martin for defending himself in his own house for killing one burglar and wounding another. Both who have a over who had 114 convictions between them for drugs and robbery handling stolen goods, assault, assaulting police.
  10. The police don't apply Dr Lewinski theory when it means convicting innocent men in fear of their life in their own home.
  11. Tory leader William Hague MP has demanded changes in the law to protect people who defend their homes against intruders in the wake of the jailing of farmer Tony Martin.
  12. In a speech to party activists, Mr Hague acknowledged there had been an "explosion of anger" by millions of people after Martin was found guilty of murdering a burglar at his remote Norfolk farmhouse.
  13. And Sir Michael Davies, a former High Court Judge, said that judges should have discretion in sentencing.

How police get an 'Unlawfully Killed' verdict overturned.

This is what police do to get an 'UNLAWFULLY KILLED' VERDICT OVERTURNED' they shop around for experts who will support the verdict they want. 

How many experts didn't agree with them

They should be forced to disclose how many forensic experts they saw WHO DIDN'T AGREE WITH THE VERDICT THE POLICE WANTED.
I am sure they also shop around and make sure they have a magistrate or judge that will only agree with evidence the police put forward and ignore evidence against police.
(I really believe they do)

Judge and Coroner selection 

After reading this report of what Sir John said 

24th July 1997

Today in the High Court the DPP was forced to concede that the decision not to prosecute police officers involved in the death of Irishman Richard O’Brien should be quashed. This comes a day after she made a similar concession over the death of Shiji Lapite in police custody.

 

The decision followed the disclosure of internal CPS documents which show that the decision not to prosecute was based on a wholly inadequate and misleading analysis of the evidence by a Principal Crown Prosecutor in the CPS.

 

July 1997 the then DPP, Dame Barbara Mills QC, suffered acute embarrassment in the High Court when she was unable to justify refusal to prosecute police officers in 3 separate cases (Lapite, O’Brien and Treadaway)
Dame Barbara Mills QC resigned in May 1998, following the delivery of the Butler Inquiry report in February 1998, but ahead of its publication and the acceptance of its recommendations by the present DPP in August 1999.

 

Deborah Coles Co director of INQUEST said:

We are appalled by what this case has revealed about the attitude of the CPS in the way it deals with police violence. The decision confirms what INQUEST’s 17 years of monitoring deaths in custody has demonstrated about the unwillingness of the DPP and PCA to bring charges against police officers whose conduct has led to death or serious injury. “

Fiona Murphy solicitor for the family said: “The evidence relied upon by the DPP has been exposed as highly misleading. 

Lord Justice Rose said he was gravely concerned by apparent conflicts between the case notes and the DPP’s affidavit. These decisions have revealed a woeful incompetence at each and every stage of the decision making process. “

 

*****************************************************

There is good reason to have a 'Public' enquiry into how the coroners and  judges are selected in cases of deaths in custody.

The CPS and the Police can arrange for a judge sitting alone in the 'High court' to quash 'Unlawfully Killed verdicts.' It makes a mockery of the English justice system 

Leon Patterson - Unlawfully Killed quashed = changed to Misadventure to which neglect contributed)
To stop police being charged
with murder or manslaughter.  
Harry Stanley - Unlawfully killed Verdict quashed = changed to an Open verdict
To stop police being charged with murder or manslaughter. 
Roger Sylvester - Unlawfully killed Verdict quashed = changed to an Open verdict
To stop police being charged with murder or manslaughter.

Many more people are shot and many more 100's more innocent people are killed by English police in many  ways. 

Not one police officer has been convicted for any of the 100's of brutal deaths of innocent defenseless people in police custody. These facts are all taken from news reports.

Then as in many cases after police ---- 'Investigate themselves' --- after a death in custody
The Police Complaints Commission (PCA) investigation file remains a secret and they withhold the evidence
