More than 100 charges dropped against Blue Mountains familyMore than 100 charges against a family accused of sexually and physically abusing boys at a Blue Mountains performing arts school are withdrawn. Interesting. This sounds like a repeat of the 1980s Kern County child abuse hysteria that saw genuinely innocent people jailed. Right down to the alleged Satanic rituals. Serious questions raised in that case over the way children can be questioned 🤔 No physical evidence from blood letting and other intrusions suggests coached kids perhaps? To drop 100 heinous charges is curious. Hope the wronged parties sue We can hopefully, but doubtfully, expect the see sackings of the prosecutors, police investigators and black listing of the so called child psychologists involved. No charges to stand, months in jail and ruined reputations, this is apalling.

DNA evidence frees man who spent 14 years in jail for murder he did not commitRicky Davis's 2005 murder conviction is thrown out by a California court, becoming only the second case in the United States where investigative genetic genealogy has led to the freeing of a wrongly imprisoned person. Proving once again that capital punishment has no place in the world. I bet he did it. This is the flipside of “tough on crime” initiatives. Inevitably innocent people pay the price while others continue to break the law.
