OUT NOW - The collapsed trial of Liam Allan reveals a widespread problem in the legal system, which criminal defence lawyers have been warning about for some time. Liam was accused of rape and sexual assault, but his defense was that any sexual contact between himself and his former girlfriend was consensual.
The Prosecution’s case relied heavily on the ex girlfriends account, which is a common situation in sexual assault allegations that often occur in private settings without any independent witnesses.

Uncovering the hidden truth. “The start of your pushback”
The Mastermind Behind Two Notorious Manhunts: Colin Sutton
a former police detective, is celebrated for his instrumental role in the capture of two of the UK’s most notorious criminals. Levy Bellfield, a serial killer, and Delroy Grant, a serial rapist, were both caught thanks to his exceptional efforts. The BAFTA-nominated ITV drama “Manhunt” was inspired by the successful investigations led by Sutton. With over three decades of experience and a record of solving over 30 murder cases, Sutton is a seasoned detective with a remarkable track record. His involvement in these two high-profile cases, however, brought him widespread recognition. In “Manhunt,” DCI Sutton is portrayed by Martin Clunes as the lead investigator who brought both criminals to justice. Sutton’s book “Manhunt” provides a comprehensive insight into his methods and strategies. I had the pleasure of meeting Colin earlier this year at Crimecon, where we discussed his exceptional work as a detective in front of a live audience. We also talked about the challenges and fame that came with his exceptional career, as well as the second chance he gave to the victims of the crimes he helped solve.
OUT NOW! For the past twenty years, the UK has been grappling with the aftermath of the notorious “Post Office scandal,” which has affected countless innocent individuals. In 2000, the Horizon IT system was introduced to modernise the Post Office network, but its rollout led to a barrage of wrongful convictions for fraud, theft, and false accounting.
Despite technological advancements in digital payments and optimised accounting, the system frequently flagged accounting discrepancies due to bugs and errors, resulting in harsh punitive measures taken against subpostmasters and staff. Consequently, thousands of innocent people lost their jobs, homes, and freedom.
The Post Office and its lawyers attempted to cover up the scandal by withholding crucial information about Horizon in court cases, leaving many of the victims without justice or compensation.

“I made a big mistake”
Classifying it as a mistake might be debatable. Attempting to provide prisoners with reasonable portions of food should be a factor considered by correctional facilities, not to mention the issue of leaving some prisoners hungry.
This is just one example of why our foundation is dedicated to ensuring that incarcerated individuals receive their basic necessities while serving their sentences.
Watch the full podcast episode to find out how you can get involved and what other work we are doing to help prisoners, prison staff and prison facilities.
