Sam Hallam info and protest 11/07/09

[Streathamite]

yes. Good luck to them on that... particularly if as a private case the judge has to look at the compensation offered and decide that they are attempting to profit from this... could even have his reward reduced or removed or canceled...

does it have to be down to the judge? could they not have the amount to be awarded decidedd by a jury?

no.

I mean if it gets to trial or retrial then yes. But in the preliminaries then they'll decided whether this warrants the courts time... I can't see many judges saying this needs to be tried again as it wouldn't be a 'good' use of the courts time or money...

so I'd imagine it'd get thrown out before it even got going... or to a jury...

Miscarriage of justice victim Sam Hallam takes compensation battle to Supreme Court - Hackney Citizen

this is a fucking disgrace: wrongly convicted, inside for seven years, and they refuse to pay a penny's compensation: i got more for being refused the right to demonstrate at fairford (tho that did take more than 10 years to get)

 

[albionism]

Yeah, it's really fucked up. Reminds me a bit of those three innocent American lads
who were freed after some years in prison on condition that they do not make a
claim for compensation.
