Debate & discussion: Hear my case

Submitted by Anon on 22 May, 2004 - 10:09

I am one of the two innocent men framed for the 1981 betting shop murder in "Toxteth". I don't expect people to support me when I say I am innocent, what I do expect is that I am given the chance to prove I am innocent. Can you help me? Please make all politicians aware of this case.
From a summary by Bruce Kent: "Raymond Gilbert was convicted solely on the basis of a confession obtained after two days and a night in police custody with no other persons present and on an admission subsequently made in court. Until she was intimidated with threat of prosecution there was even someone whose testimony would have provided an alibi.

"Two years ago John Kamara, convicted with him, was freed by the Court of Appeal, which said that his conviction was unsound. Kamara was named in Gilbert's confession.

"The Criminal Cases Review Commission has denied Gilbert the right to approach the Court of Appeal."

"Raymond Gilbert is still in prison... and it seems not unlikely that he will eventually die in prison. Why? Because he will not admit his guilt. Without that admission, for all practical purposes the Home Office parole machinery does not start to operate."

Raymond Gilbert, HMP Woodhill, Milton Keynes
