All the time I was in the police station, I was waiting to go home. In a police station, you don’t know what’s going on. The light’s always the same and you don’t know what time of day it is, or if it’s night or what. I was just waiting to go home. I never thought they’d charge us and I never thought I’d be found guilty, never. I nearly had a nervous breakdown afterwards. I didn’t sleep at all for about a week and I was just speeding around and not listening to anything anybody told me and crying all the time. But you can’t live in two places at once. You either live outside the prison, or inside. If you try and do both, it does your head in.” Samuel, 19, was shot on 29 October 1991 at the Cottage Bakery in Moss Side. Two men were cleared of the offence when a potential trial witness failed to attend court. [98] [99]By now, if they ignored the unsatisfactory identity parade, and the mystery of the man on the steps, the police had a diary, a fingerprint and a witness; but this didn’t amount to a solid case. The evidence of the Taylors’ friend, J.J. Tapp was an additional problem, for it furnished the girls with an alibi. When interviewed a second time by the police, however, she changed her story. In July 2000, it was revealed that the Taylors had instigated a compensation claim against police for their imprisonment after they were freed, but they then dropped it because a civil case investigation had begun to expose evidence that witnesses had been intimidated by their defence team. [32] At that stage they were the only victims of a miscarriage of justice in the UK to have ever been denied any compensation. [32] The man was nervous and refused to give his name, and Oxley started to tape the call. The social worker soon came to the point. “There’s this guy,” he said. “Derek Williams. I’m worried about him. He’s been making all sorts of allegations… This guy is weird. He’s told me a lot of things over the months. He doesn’t brag about it. He’s very calm and matter of fact… He says he’s done an armed robbery… He carries a knife and he’s told me he’s done a girl.” Colin Evans: A Question of Evidence: The Casebook of Great Forensic Controversies, from Napoleon to O.J.

This appeal, too, was turned down. The judges said they would have allowed it on the basis of the undisclosed fingerprint, were it not for newly obtained DNA evidence (from a blood smear on Craven's shirt) which, in their view, indicated that he was guilty.For even if it is clear that the existing law was shamelessly broken by the tabloids in the Taylor case, it is possible that the law itself is wrong – that, in truth, the press has very little effect on the way that jurors behave. And while the Attorney General has a clear duty to enforce the law against everyone, including the Government’s allies, it may be that in the longer term, all newspapers would have a reasonable case for arguing that the law itself should be removed. McInally, 23, was last seen getting into a car with two men in Cadogan Street, Glasgow, on 15 October 1991. Her body was found in woodland in the city's Pollok Park and she had been strangled. Two men were charged with the sex worker's murder, but there was not enough evidence for either to stand trial. In 2017, McInally's son called for the investigation into his mother's murder to be reopened, claiming he had new evidence.

She remained adamant, recalling the detail of conversations and the brands of cigarette which Lisa and Michelle were smoking with her. She said was sure of the day because she had been out buying things for her birthday party and she remembered showing them to Lisa and Michelle; and she was sure of the time because she was waiting for Neighbours to start on television when they arrived. On the same day, the police also interviewed Lisa and Michelle and secretly tape recorded the two girls talking to each other in Battersea station. But, just like JJ, the two sisters stood by their story.
