In November 2008, Kristian Abbott was found guilty of a crime he did not commit, and was sent to prison in January 2009 for 21 months. Since the original investigation, Kristian has maintained his innocence, and has been the victim of a corrupt investigation and lies throughout.

Even after 4 long years, GMP, GMPA and others still cover up Barnard's misdeeds and try to evade the inevitable conclusion which will be Justice For Kristian Abbott.
The latest attempt by GMP to sideline David Abbott's complaint against Paul Barnard and others from the PSB is such a poor attempt. Barnard himself is now newly moved to Rochdale neighbourhood policing. Read it here
The Present Furore about Phone Hacking, Police Corruption and the Press, made us wonder if such a thing goes on in Manchester? In particular does the Manchester Evening News report everything about the police objectively? Or does the same culture exist as with the Nationals where money changes hands and the police get left pretty much alone. To find out more click this link
26 GMP Officers quite before investigations into their conduct. A report from the Manchester Evening Lies confirms our suspicions that bad officers just get away with it but it costs you a fortune!!

When Kristian was first arrested he was appointed a solicitor through the services of the Police Federation. The Polfed as they are known always use Russell Jones Walker (RJW).
In Kristian's case this proved to be a fatal error. Police officers are not allowed to join unions in case they decided to strike and put the fear of god up the ruling classes. Therefore they are allowed to join the police federation who are supposed to be the arbiters in any dispute and also the representatives of police officers should they require it.
The problem is, Polfed officers are serving police officers who get very good wages and their first loyalty, is to their bosses in the police force not the officers they represent. Now the issue with RJW is that they get a lot of work from the police. Indeed, Joanne Stephens the junior solicitor who "represented" Kristian at trial, stated in writing that she had to be careful as her company got a lot of work from the police. No conflict of interest there then. See this pdf
The solicitors from RJW work with the police in a lot of cases on both the defence and prosecution side. This means that there can be a cosying up or cronyism where the parties involved, are more interested in each others business than the interests of the client. In Kristian's case one of the more striking images that stays in the memory of David Abbott, was that of the overall investigating officer, Inspector Dorian, going over to Joanne Stephens when Kristian was found guilty and congratulating her. Now that was the prosecuting officer saying well done to the defence solicitor.
Joanne Stephens was a newly qualified solicitor when she took over Kristian's case from her colleague Emma Dunne. Now, a newly qualified solicitor should be supervised by a senior solicitor at the firm and, when the Abbotts queried whether she had been or not, They were told by Nick Holroyd, a senior solicitor at RJW that he had personally supervised Miss Stephens all the way through. When the family asked for evidence of this supervision it was not forthcoming.
Throughout the period leading up to the trial Stephens was asked for many things in terms of evidence but always seemed to be unable to satisfy those demands. The problem was that she did ask for things that the family had demanded but she was asking the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) for those things and they, in turn, were asking our old friend Barnard. He of course was not interested in providing any thing that might help Kristian's case.
After the trial had ended and Stephens and her pal Charlotte Crangle had been sacked by Kristian, David Abbott wrote and complained to RJW about Stephens. That letter and links to their response can be found by following this link
What those letters show is that firms like RJW are simply not interested in complaints and they are typical of most areas of the Justice system. The body that oversees solicitors, the Legal Complaints Service, are toothless and will always take the word of the solicitor over a complainant. They told the Abbotts that they do not have the power to look into a solicitor's professional judegement. What is the purpose of them in that case.

A catalogue of disasters for GMP in one week lead David Abbott to think that GMP are no longer Fit For Purpose.They are certainly not fit to handle complaints against their own officers. Read on
David Abbott's application for Judicial Review was refused in December with a bizarre ruling from the Judge. Apparently the Chief Officer of GMP can do what he likes without fear of being held responsible. Read it here
It seems that Bury C.I.D. are snooping round harassing people about who owns and produces this site. Are we getting to them with the truth?
A report by the IPCC slates the British Police for the way they deal with complaints. One of the worst is Greater Manchester Police. No Shit Sherlock!!
Have the police cleaned up their act since 1999 when the HMIC accused them of being so corrupt as to undermine Public Confidence in the Police Service? In a word No. Read on

First London, Now Cleveland when will it be the turn of GMP and the GMPA? Are bottoms twitching at the GMPA? Have there been abuses of power? Fraud through Misconduct in Public Office?
Whilst in prison Kristian adapted a famous song by Johnny Cash: Fulsom Prison Blues. We are sure the great man in black would have heartily approved. One day when he has the time maybe he will record it and do a video for Yuo Tube. Who Knows?
The probation service part 8 .The similarities between the phone hacking scandal and all the attempts to deny what went on are echoed in the way Greater Manchester Probations Trust dealt with the complaints about their treatment of Kristian.
