Another false allegation conviction successfully appealed

It is always very difficult trying to get a system which works and deals with identifying people who have committed crimes properly.

I have always felt that there is a difference in the evidential requirements for sanctions that involve long term imprisonment from those that say involve a small fine. What has happened is that the evidential reguirements for everything have shifted. These result in substantially more false convictions.
