Very new to this....

What can I do about this?

My sister has been trawling through the book about Fred and Rose West and has found some indirect links between some of what they did and a few of the allegations FA has made against me. However, my sister rang this evening and said she has found an IDENTICAL incident in the book to one of the things FA has accused me of. (Unfortunately it is a "lesser" one, but the wording is identical). What can I do with this information? I have not been arrested or charged (police interrogation was on Nov 15th). Can I present it to my solicitor and ask him to present it to the OIC in the county where she made the FA in the hope that it would contribute to stopping this going any further or do I just have to hold onto it and present it as part of my defence if it goes to trial?

Hi WAC

Thanks - good advice as always..... I'm being a bit more positive in the last fews days, and I'm back to work on Tuesday so that will really help too.

That's a b***er (not a swear word in my county) then. My sister and I were thinking it may have been because he was concerned about my mental health because he knew her stories were porkies..................

Really sorry you find yourself in this position as i know what all this waiting is like as i had 10 months of it

The only thing i would say is try and focus on the fact you know this did not happen and try your best to not second guess what the police are thinking which will probably make you more down.

Like RF has said there probably are still some decent coppers out there but i found it better to think of them all as underhanded nasty idiots as this is safer.

I found my ipod a great tool as i used to download lots of books etc so listening to it gives your brain a rest for a while.

This i found helped a lot.

Hope you feel a little better today.

Two words hon...'arse covering'

This could well be the case Faith. They don't want to be accused of stringing it out causing further MH problems and any action resulting from that.

Or it could be that the officer really does care. I've known that happen. I've also known officers be genuinely horrified that a conviction has resulted when they have believed the suspect to be innocent. These officers are few and far between but they do exist.

Hints of this are evident in the Police and Criminal Evidence Act (PACE).

It could be to do with reasonable grounds as to whether those accused (you) are in danger of harming themselves and thus preventing or perverting the course of justice. Especially if the inspector is aware of any mental health issues, his 'concerns' may not necessarily be sentimental ones.

Again not a definitive answer just my suspicions.

Hi Charlie - thanks - as the original phone call on New Year's Eve was made by my CPN who identified herself to the police force in that county, your answer can be very logical - and there was me and my sister thinking he actually cared bout the effect this was having on me,,,

[Faith]

To be honest, it could be what either you or I have suggested or anyone else. Every officer is different...sometimes I have my anti police head on auto tune.

My advice would be not get your hopes up...then if it is as I feared, you're half expecting it but if it's a good sign then it'll be a nice bonus.

Sometimes we can drive ourselves nuts by trying to read into things that we simply cannot hope to fathom an answer for

I've been going over and over stuff in my head and with my sister. We are both wondering why the police Inspector handling the case for the False Accuser in the other county would e mail my current solicitor (after the phone call from my CPN on New Year's Eve) and say, "For the sake of your client....[and the victim].... I want to hurry things along." If I had done everything that she has accused me/us of, surely he wouldn't be in the slightest bit worried about the state of my mental health????? or how long it took to sort it all out?
Any thoughts any one?

I'm usually behind my desk and if I'm not I'm either in bed asleep or food shopping!

Or creating mischief!

Hon, there's more than a couple of holes!

made me grin!!!! Thanks

Hon, there's more than a couple of holes - but we won't discuss them here given that this is a public forum.

Email me if you need another chat. I'm usually behind my desk and if I'm not I'm either in bed asleep or food shopping!

Hi JM and BDC - thanks for your advice. Everything is helpful - I've learnt so much since being on here...
I can't bring myself to write anything down yet, but unknown to me, every time I talked about it with my sister and I remembered something else, she has been writing it down for me.....
With regard to texts and computer/e mails etc, this won't apply as the allegations stem from 23 years ago and I have not had any contact with the person since. There is nothing I can refer to about that time because FA has not given dates (and in one of her allegations not even a location!!!) and I've moved back to my home county.... I think that in my case - if it goes to trial, it is her word against mine and my ex bf....I really don't know how I can prove to the jury that she is lying and I am not.......although there are a couple of holes in her many allegations.
