They don't send innocents to prison unless there is a reason to suspect them.

Oh yes they do and have done in the past. And what do you think they would have done If Jean Charles De Menezes had not been killed in that London tube station? You can bet your ass he would have been hauled off to jail and kept there for as long as possible whilst being "interrogated".

I didn't say they were guilty or innocent, I said "a reason to suspect them"


Okay, this is what I mean,

If your 12 year old son or daughter was walking home from school and told you some guy tried to get them into their car or house, wouldn't you suspect something? How about your child kept saying the guy does it everyday? Would you want the guy arrested? They probably would arrest him, and that's the way unless they can prove he's innocent.

a "reason to suspect them" is no basis for jailing someone. Thats like saying I have reason (not proof) to suspect that my next door neighbour is a paedophile therefore I should alert the authorities. They come along and jail the guy only to discover he is completely innocent all along.

Get the picture now Jake????

Ever heard of the Bermingham Six?  Six guys arrested, found guilty and sentenced to life in jail for murder of 22 people in Bermingham (England) in 1974 or '75.  They were released in the early 1990s, having been found innocent.  Evidence had been changed and even at the time there was very little evidence to say that they did it.  The verdict was contested at least twice.  They were also beaten and very badly treated in jail and despite the fact that they were covered in marks from it, the guards and police involved were all found not guilty.  Also that case in England where some couple spent a few years in jail because they allegedly killed their daughter, but then she was found to have died of some extremely rare disease that makes your body produce too much salt.  They had been accused of poisening her with salt, I think, and I can't remember how it was found that it was an illness - I think another child in the family had it.  The parents were aware of the illness, and had told people about it, but they weren't believed.

You can also add The Guildford 4 and the Maguire 7 to that list. There is many more I am sure....
