HELP US EXPOSE THE BROKEN SYSTEM!

We are putting together a powerful testimony highlighting the failures of the Scottish law, which prevents crucial evidence and information from being heard in court — things that jury should have heard before deciding on the verdict. 

Things like:

  • Background of the accuser (e.g., previous false allegations),
  • Evidence proving someone wasn’t where the accuser said they’re were,
  • Witness statements ignored or hidden, etc etc..

We need your help. If you or your loved one (LO) has been falsely accused and convicted, please take a moment to answer the following questions. Please, try to keep the replies brief and simple. 

No names — everything will be anonymous and strictly confidential 

  1. What is the reason your LO is currently in prison? (Domestic abuse / sexual assault / other)
  2. Was it a single accuser or multiple accusers?
  3. Did the police threaten, pressure, or attempt to force a confession from anyone?
  4. Did the police ignore, lose, alter, or conceal key evidence OR – they added previously undisclosed evidence at the trial?
  5. Was a solicitor present during the first police interview?
  6. Was the solicitor privately paid or through Legal Aid?
  7. Was crucial evidence withheld — evidence or information that could have changed the outcome and proven innocence? - if yes, please give brief description of what it was
  8. Was the prosecution case based on accusers’ statements and hearsay only?
  9. Did the defence have enough time to prepare?
