Susan May - Innocent

'Innocent as Charged' - the recent programme on my case is to be repeated on Sunday 13th April on Sky's Crime and Investigation channel at 11.00 p.m

Sky T.V and Virgin both showed the recent documentary on my case and I want to thank all those who contacted me, left messages on my blog and the petition on my website. Following the programme I did an interview for Radio 5 Live and have been approached by other media agencies which I apprecaite greatly.  I believe that the programme is to be repeated and I urge anyone who has any information about Aunties murder to get in touch because there are people out there who know more and for whatever reason chose to stay silent. 16 years have passed by, but it is never too late to come forward and the slightest piece of evidence could be crucial to resolving this ongoing nightmare.

There was a very good programme on BBC Scotland featuring the case of 2 men wrongly convicted in 1995 in Scotland. Mark Daly investigated the case for the BBC and highlighted the way the police investigation was carried out. Evidence was suppressed and vital defence testimonies were altered.....a common factor in any Miscarriage of Justice.  What is significant in this case is the fact the Chief of Police in question is now the subject of a corruption inquiry.  We can only therefore hope that he will be brought to account and it can then be said that the Scottish system are willing to deal with the terrible problem of police corruption which leads to the nightmare of wrongful conviction. It is only when corrupt police are brought before the courts and the mischief identified and punishment metered out, that hopefully this kind of practice will stop!

It is now 16 years since my Aunty was murdered and I am still weighed down by the whole injustice. This time last year I was so hopeful that a decision would have been reached by the CCRC to send my case back to the Court of Appeal, but to date their investigation is still ongoing.

The programme on my case goes out on 30 March at 10.00pm on Sky and as always I live in hope that it may prick the conscience of those who do know a lot more about the person who murdered Aunty. I also wanted to reiterate my overwhelming thanks to those friends who continue to give their support and remain at my side on this nightmare journey. It does help to keep me positive.

Sandra has asked me to point out that she has had problems with her publisher and anyone wanting to buy the book - which is excellent - can do so by emailing her on : fionlee@tiscali.co.uk

The following is a press release relating to the forthcoming programme by Dreamscope TV. My thanks go the Darren and his team who worked hard and researched the case to make this possible.

A good friend of mine, Eddie Gilfoyle, has like me been fighting to prove his innocence for the past 16 years. In The Times newspaper 25 February was an excellent article by Dominic Kennedy reporting on the fact that an expert for the Prosecution at Eddie's trial in 1993 - whose evidence helped convict Eddie - now admits he got it wrong! Normally
I would be saying shame on Professor Cantor, but quite frankly I have to give respect to him for speaking out and admitting his trial evidence was wrong. If only more experts would follow suit and admit they went beyond their remit and unfairly placed unproven evidence before the Court which aided the Prosecution!
