I have just heard, on the radio that the Winchester 3 have been
freed by the British Appeal Court at the Old Bailey.
I understand that the conviction was quashed because the appeal
judge felt that remarks made by Tom King and Lord Denning (former
Master of the Rolls) may have predjudiced the trial. The remarks
were widely reported at the time and concernet the removal of the
right to silence. The judge felt that the jury should have been
dismissed at this point. The 3 were charged with conspiracy to murder
Tom King and other persons unknown.

Thanks for the info MBR. It seems that the system is starting to
falter when it comes to the innocent being imprisoned. Let us pray
this is only the begining and all suspect cases will be reviewed.

Not only was it unknown persons but it was conspiracy to murder unknown
persons at an unknown time in an unknown place.
Under the fair system of UK justice this warranted 25 years.
Hopefully the outcome of this and other pending cases will help to
restore some amount of trust in their justice system. I also hope this
will convince them to seperate their justice system from their method
of government.
