Innocent individuals suffer due to flawed justice systems
& institutional cover-ups,
exemplified by cases like
The Central Park Five.
When Justice Fails the Innocent
How do perfectly innocent people – children, teenagers, and adults – become entangled in a system designed to protect them, only to be crushed by it? Justice, at its core, is meant to uphold fairness, truth, and accountability. Yet history is littered with cases that expose the profound flaws in human constructs of justice, where innocence is overlooked, and lives are irreparably damaged.
From the heartbreaking stories of George Stinney and The Scottsboro Boys to the haunting experiences of The Central Park Five, the common thread is clear: deliberate failures, systemic bias, and an unsettling lack of conscience within the very institutions tasked with safeguarding fairness. These aren’t isolated incidents – they reveal a pattern of injustice that devastates families, communities, and, most painfully, the victims themselves.
Closer to our time, the British Post Office scandal unveils a chilling parallel. Here, a trusted institution systematically destroyed the lives of subpostmasters in its pursuit of self-preservation. As Nick Wallis meticulously documents in The Great Post Office Scandal, the deliberate suppression of truth and crushing of innocent lives reflects the same madness seen in cases like Liam Allan’s, whose innocence was ignored while the system moved blindly forward.
Justice is a fragile concept – constructed by humans and vulnerable to human failure. This page is dedicated to asking hard questions, exposing painful truths, and challenging us all to confront the consequences of a flawed system.
Wanneer Rechtvaardigheid Faalt
Hoe kunnen volledig onschuldige mensen – kinderen, tieners en volwassenen – verstrikt raken in een systeem dat hen zou moeten beschermen, maar hen in plaats daarvan vernietigt? Rechtvaardigheid, in de kern, is bedoeld om eerlijkheid, waarheid en verantwoordelijkheid te waarborgen. Toch toont de geschiedenis talloze gevallen die de diepgaande tekortkomingen van menselijke rechtssystemen blootleggen, waarin onschuld wordt genegeerd en levens onherstelbaar worden beschadigd.
Van de hartverscheurende verhalen van George Stinney en The Scottsboro Boys tot de aangrijpende ervaringen van The Central Park Five, één ding wordt duidelijk: opzettelijke fouten, systematische vooringenomenheid en een onthutsend gebrek aan geweten binnen de instellingen die eerlijkheid zouden moeten waarborgen. Dit zijn geen op zichzelf staande incidenten—ze onthullen een patroon van onrecht dat families, gemeenschappen en, het pijnlijkst, de slachtoffers zelf verwoest.
Dichter bij huis onthult het Britse Post Office-schandaal een even huiveringwekkend voorbeeld. Hier heeft een vertrouwde instelling systematisch het leven van subpostmasters vernietigd in haar streven naar zelfbehoud. Zoals Nick Wallis nauwgezet documenteert in The Great Post Office Scandal, weerspiegelt de opzettelijke onderdrukking van de waarheid en het verpletteren van onschuldige levens dezelfde waanzin die te zien is in zaken zoals die van Liam Allan, wiens onschuld werd genegeerd terwijl het systeem blind doorging.
Rechtvaardigheid is een kwetsbaar concept – opgebouwd door mensen en vatbaar voor menselijke fouten. Deze pagina is toegewijd aan het stellen van moeilijke vragen, het blootleggen van pijnlijke waarheden en het uitdagen van ons allemaal om de gevolgen van een gebrekkig systeem onder ogen te zien.
1 The circumstances surrounding the case – The environmental factors affecting the trial
It is somewhat an unanswerable question how perfectly innocent children and people end up bearing burdens that are entirely alien to them. Without reason, cause, or origin, someone finds themselves in circumstances or environmental factors that arise without any fault of their own, creating an artificial context where one can act recklessly without restraint.
In the introduction of the website on the homepage, points A through P provide examples and explanations regarding cases that leave you bewildered… cases that render you speechless. Among them are examples that are particularly painful because they involve young children: George Stinney, John Bunn… who find themselves in a flawed justice system. George Stinney, for instance, had a lawyer who was utterly worthless, the case was rushed through, a white jury for a black boy, a fabricated confession obtained in a shockingly deceptive manner, and so forth.
In the following point: 2 “Justice” is a human construct. An explanation of how one can deceive and lead to a skewed situation.
The British Post Office’s actions mirror a pattern where large institutions like itself, including government bodies, resort to concealing problems or injustices, such as those faced by subpostmasters, under the guise of minimizing reputational damage.
Take note: deliberate wrongdoing within entities in the justice system, it mirrors madness. As mentioned in the opening words on the home page
How desvastating it was for the subpostmaster, their families and everyone around them.
What The British Post Office has orchestrated, akin to a Pandora’s box or a real-time Candid Camera, is unprecedented judicial fraud. It is barbaric what they have done to perfectly innocent people. You must read Nick Wallis’s book – ‘The Great Post Office Scandal,’ 562 pages – as the reality in all its details would truly sink in.
In this case, can the loaded language ‘people without conscience’ be mentioned? It is a question that needs to be asked, considering the deliberate crushing of people’s lives.
There’s the shocking case of The Scottsboro Boys (1931). It was clear to everyone that they were completely innocent, yet they still saw their youth slip away behind bars.
Then there’s The Central Park Five (1989), who had nothing to do with the crime they were accused of. Four were shockingly coerced into confessing. Yusef Salaam didn’t confess but still spent 7 years wrongly imprisoned, like the others. Korey Wise spent 13 years because he was 16. These were teenagers of 14 and 15 years old.
It’s heartbreaking, people who know they’ve done nothing wrong yet spend years in prison. Innocent, many never see freedom.
The template for this website. Liam Allan in 2016 in Britain (mentioned in the subtitle on every webpage). He was innocent. Should never have been arrested. A 19-year-old criminology student, lived two years in fear. Evidence of his innocence was in the file weeks before the police arrested him. Prosecutor Jerry Hayes calls it nothing but sheer incompetence.
De omgevingsomstandigheden – De factoren die een rechtszaak beïnvloeden.
Het is een enigzins niet te beantwoorden vraag hoe het komt dat vlekkeloos onschuldige kinderen en mensen een last op hun schouders krijgen die hen volstrekt wereldvreemd is. Zonder reden aanleiding of oorzaak komt iemand in omstandigheden of zijn er omgevingsfactoren die ontstaan zonder enige schuld van betrokkene, en ontstaat er een kunstmatige context waar men ongebreitelt roekeloos kan te werk gaan.
In de inleiding van de website op de homepage in de punten A tot en met P staan voorbeelden en is er toelichting nopens cases waar je verstand stil staat … waarbij je sprakeloos wordt. O.a. voorbeelden die bijzonder veel pijn doen omdat het jonge kinderen zijn: George Stinney, John Bunn … die in een slecht justitie systeem te recht komen. George Stinney had o.a. een advocaat die echt niks waard was, de zaak werd afgehaspelt, een blanke jury voor een zwarte jongen, een gefabriceerde bekentenis op een schokkend bedriegelijke wijze tot stand gekomen enzovoort.
In het volgende punt: 2 “Justice” is a human construct. Een toelichting hoe men zand kan in de ogen strooit en men tot een scheefgetrokken situatie komt.
De acties van de Britse Post Office weerspiegelen een patroon waarbij grote instellingen zoals zijzelf, inclusief overheidsinstanties, ervoor kiezen om problemen of onrechtvaardigheden, zoals die waarmee subpostmeesters worden geconfronteerd, te verdoezelen onder het mom van het minimaliseren van reputatieschade.
Merk op” :deliberate wrongdoing within entities in the justice system, it mirrors madness. Zoals vermeld in de eerste woorden op de home page
Hoe vernietigend was het voor de subpostmaster, hun familie en iedereen om hen heen.
Wat The Britisch Post Office heeft in elkaar gestoken als trukendoos, of realtime Candid Camera, is ongezien justitie fraude. Het is barbaars wat ze hebben gedaan tegenover vlekkeloos onschuldige mensen. Je moet het boek lezen van Nick Wallis – The Great Post Office Scandal, 562 pagina’s, omdat de werkelijkheid in al zijn details zou tot je doordringen.
Mag in dit geval het beladen taalgebruik vermeld worden: ‘mensen zonder geweten’? Het is een vraag die hoort gesteld te worden, rekening met bewust verbrijzelen van het leven van mensen.
Er is de schokkende case The Scottsboro Boys (1931). Het was voor iedereen duidelijk dat ze volstrekt onschuldig waren, maar toch zagen ze hun jeugdjaren in de gevangenis voorbijgaan.
Er is The Central Park Five (1989), die niets te maken hadden met het misdrijf waarvan ze werden beschuldigd. Vier werden op schokkende wijze tot een bekentenis gedwongen. Yusef Salaam heeft geen bekentenis afgelegd doch zat zoals de anderen 7 jaar onschuldig in de gevangenis. Korey Wise 13 omdat 16 jaar was. Het zijn wel jongeren van 14 en 15 jaar.
Het is hartverscheurend, mensen die weten dat ze niets verkeerd hebben gedaan en toch jarenlang in de gevangenis. Onschuldig, velen komen nooit vrij.
De template voor deze website. Liam Allan in 2016 in Groot-Brittannië (vermeld in de subtitel op elke webpagina). Hij was onschuldig. Had nooit gearresteerd mogen worden. Een 19-jarige criminologie student, leefde twee jaar in angst. Het bewijs van zijn onschuld zat al enkele weken in het dossier voordat de politie hem arresteerde. Procureur Jerry Hayes noemt het niets anders dan pure onbekwaamheid.

2 “Justice” is a human construct
Fairness and justice are integral to human society. While the specifics vary, the concept of justice exists in every known culture. Societies establish rules and norms, enforcing them through consequences that range from social disapproval to severe punishments like execution.
However, there is no evidence of “cosmic justice,” “karma,” or any form of ultimate universal justice. Societies differ in their interpretation of justice. For instance, Nazi Germany deemed it acceptable to kill or steal from Jews and other marginalized groups without punishment – actions not only permitted but encouraged. Similarly, a Mongol warrior under Genghis Khan would have been praised for acts we might now condemn.
Justice evolves over time. In 15th-century England, brutal executions were considered just, even for relatively minor crimes like theft. Today, such practices would be viewed as barbaric, even for the most heinous offenses.
Justice exists both as an abstract concept and as a tangible practice. Yet it is neither universal nor immutable. Furthermore, justice is often flawed. Many wrongdoers escape consequences, and good people frequently go unrewarded – or even suffer for their actions.
Unlike Hollywood narratives, reality does not guarantee that the virtuous prevail or that the wicked are punished. Some wrongdoers retire in luxury, enjoying their spoils without retribution. Similarly, brutal dictators may live long, comfortable lives, untouched by the harm they inflicted. Such is the nature of real life.
Rechtvaardigheid en eerlijkheid zijn essentieel in menselijke samenlevingen. Hoewel de details variëren, bestaat het concept van rechtvaardigheid in elke bekende cultuur. Samenlevingen stellen regels en normen op en handhaven deze met sancties die variëren van sociale afkeuring tot zware straffen, zoals executie.
Er is echter geen bewijs voor het bestaan van een “kosmische rechtvaardigheid,” “karma,” of enige vorm van ultieme universele gerechtigheid. Samenlevingen verschillen in hun interpretatie van rechtvaardigheid. In nazi-Duitsland bijvoorbeeld, werd het als aanvaardbaar beschouwd om Joden en andere gemarginaliseerde groepen te doden of van hen te stelen zonder straf—daden die niet alleen werden toegestaan, maar zelfs werden aangemoedigd. Evenzo zou een Mongoolse krijger onder Genghis Khan geprezen zijn voor acties die we nu wellicht zouden veroordelen.
Rechtvaardigheid evolueert door de tijd heen. In het Engeland van de 15e eeuw werden wrede executies als rechtvaardig beschouwd, zelfs voor relatief kleine misdaden zoals diefstal. Tegenwoordig zouden dergelijke praktijken als barbaars worden gezien, zelfs voor de meest ernstige misdaden.
Rechtvaardigheid bestaat zowel als abstract concept als in concrete vorm. Toch is het noch universeel noch onveranderlijk. Bovendien is rechtvaardigheid vaak gebrekkig. Veel misdadigers ontsnappen aan de gevolgen van hun daden, en goede mensen worden vaak niet beloond—of lijden zelfs onder hun juiste keuzes.
In tegenstelling tot Hollywood-verhalen is er in de werkelijkheid geen garantie dat de deugdzamen overwinnen of dat de slechten worden gestraft. Sommige misdadigers genieten van hun buit en leven de rest van hun dagen in luxe. Evenzo kunnen wrede dictators een lang en comfortabel leven leiden, onaangetast door het leed dat ze hebben veroorzaakt. Dat is de realiteit van het leven.

As the Post Office Inquiry continues to hear testimony, more and more details are coming to light about who knew what when.
Back in 2019, the Post Office spent at least a-hundred-million pounds still defending the Horizon system when more than five hundred subpostmasters won their landmark settlement.
Tonight, we’ve seen documents that appear to show that the Post Office Board was aware of the Horizon system’s failures back in 2013 – indeed it was so worried about a potential miscarriage of justice that it alerted its insurers.
6 Post office inquiry: Fujitsu manager called bankrupted subpostmaster ‘nasty chap’
18 jan 2024
A Fujitsu employee called a subpostmaster who was bankrupted by the company’s faulty computer system a “nasty chap” in not-seen-before email sent internally in 2003.
Peter Sewell, who was in the Post Office Account Security Team at Fujitsu, said that Lee Carrington was a “nasty man” after the subpostmaster had threatened the company with legal action after losing all his money due to no fault of his own.
Fujitsu provided the Post Office with the Horizon computer system for individual subpostmasters. This system wrongly said that hundreds of subpostmasters had been committing fraud and more than 700 were wrongly convicted.
The email was revealed at the ongoing Post Office Horizon Inquiry.
British Post Office scandal
The British Post Office scandal, sometimes called the Horizon IT scandal, arose from faulty software, provided by Fujitsu and known as Horizon, creating false shortfalls in the accounts of thousands of subpostmasters. It has been described as one of the most widespread miscarriages of justice in British history.

When the public inquiry into the Horizon scandal resumes next month, Post Office executives will again be questioned over what they knew, when, and what they did about it.
This programme has obtained secret recordings of conversations over a decade ago between senior Post Office executives and the independent forensic accountants hired to find out whether sub-postmasters were to blame for the shortfalls at branches using the Horizon system. And, as we exclusively report, they prove beyond doubt that the Post Office covered up the scandal for years as they continued to pursue innocent employees through the courts.

More than £1m of unexplained transactions were transferred in to Post Office profit at the height of the Horizon scandal, leaked documents have shown.
The papers, seen by Sky News, show a snapshot of transfers from a Post Office “miscellaneous client” suspense account over a four-year period, up to 2014.
A suspense account is where unexplained, or disputed, transactions remain until they are able to be “reconciled”.
The Post Office released a statement in response to the findings, saying: “The statutory public inquiry, chaired by a judge with the power to question witnesses under oath, is the best forum to examine the issues raised by this evidence.
“We continue to remain fully focused on supporting the inquiry to get to the truth of what happened and accountability for that.”

16 “There Was A COVERUP!” – Journalist On Compensation Delays For Post Office Scandal Victims

16 jan 2024
The boss of Fujitsu has apologised to subpostmasters and said there is a “moral obligation” for the technology giant to contribute to the compensation.
Fujitsu Europe director Paul Patterson faced a grilling by MPs on Tuesday alongside Post Office boss Nick Read, as public and political anger continues over the Horizon scandal.
The role played by the Japanese firm has come under the spotlight, with Mr Patterson opening the hearing by offering an apology for the “appalling miscarriage of justice” suffered by postmasters.
“We were involved from the very start. We did have bugs and errors in the system. And we did help the Post Office in their prosecutions of subpostmasters. For that we are truly sorry,” he told the Business and Trade Committee.
The global boss of Fujitsu, Takahito Tokita, told the BBC in Davos that his firm “apologised for the impact on the postmasters’ lives and their families”, but declined to confirm it would return any of the money it earned from the flawed Horizon system.
Journalist Nick Wallis discusses the scandal with Rosanna Lockwood:
“Why is it that we have a prosecution of innocent people, a coverup and then an incompetent array of compensation schemes!”

3 How exactly do we define justice these days?
When I went to law school, I really wanted to be a prosecutor. To put the bad guys away and rid the society of scum. One day I mentioned it to the judge I clerked for and he suggested I sit through a morning of the criminal court’s hearings. So I did.
There were a lot of people in the courtroom and multiple hearings. Both prosecutors and defenders seemed woefully unprepared. They didn’t remember witnesses’ names, looked exhausted, overwhelmed with work, and, frankly, like they couldn’t care less.
There was a young man who was charged with resisting the arrest (prompted by an outstanding warrant) and possessing unregistered weapon or something like that. His lawyer and the prosecutor had stood to the side before the hearing and laughed and chatted. They made a deal that he basically got off with barely a slap on the wrist.
After that morning, I changed my mind about becoming a prosecutor. And I view justice as inefficient and flawed.
Toen ik rechten ging studeren, wilde ik echt aanklager worden. Ik wilde de slechteriken achter slot en grendel zetten en de samenleving bevrijden van tuig. Op een dag vertelde ik dit aan de rechter voor wie ik stage liep, en hij stelde voor dat ik een ochtend in de strafrechtbank zou doorbrengen om de zittingen bij te wonen. Dat heb ik gedaan.
Er waren veel mensen in de rechtszaal en meerdere zaken die werden behandeld. Zowel de aanklagers als de verdedigers leken bedroevend slecht voorbereid. Ze herinnerden zich de namen van getuigen niet, zagen er uitgeput uit, waren overweldigd door hun werk en, eerlijk gezegd, maakten ze de indruk dat het hen weinig kon schelen.
Er was een jonge man die werd aangeklaagd voor het zich verzetten tegen arrestatie (naar aanleiding van een openstaand arrestatiebevel) en het bezit van een ongeregistreerd wapen of iets dergelijks. Zijn advocaat en de aanklager stonden voor de zitting aan de kant te lachen en met elkaar te praten. Ze kwamen tot een deal waardoor hij er eigenlijk met nauwelijks een tik op de vingers vanaf kwam.
Na die ochtend veranderde ik van mening over mijn ambitie om aanklager te worden. En sindsdien zie ik rechtvaardigheid als inefficiënt en gebrekkig.
22 Wrongly Convicted Defendants In Central Park Five Case Speak Out
The men are the subject of “When They See Us,” an upcoming Netflix mini-series from filmmaker Ava DuVernay, which tells the story from the standpoint of the teenagers falsely accused of a brutal rape in 1989. CBS2’s Maurice DuBois reports.
Why is the word called “Justice” so complicated now a days?Justice is indefinable.
There is no science of justice.
Justice involves the judicial system and money to get through that system.
Lawyers are the highest paid profession, but with almost 76% job dissatisfaction.
One must pay for justice in the US, especially if one is a person of color. If that money is not paid, then it’s for-profit prison time.
There are probably thousands of people who, right now, are in a jail cell because they didn’t have cash on them upon arrest, have no one to call to help them get the $50 court fee paid.
The cash bail system must end, said one Senator Bernie Sanders.
So many people incarcerated and the public must pay to house and feed them, some who are there for no more than marijuana – it’s not rehabilitation – it aggregates similar types together in such a way that recidivism becomes more likely.
Some consider justice as revenge. Others consider justice as punishment.
Justice is for-profit prisons nowadays, at the public expense. It is corruption.
Waarom is het woord “Justitie” tegenwoordig zo ingewikkeld? Justitie is ondefinieerbaar.
Er is geen wetenschap van Justitie.
Justitie omvat het gerechtelijk systeem en geld om door dat systeem te komen.
Advocaten zijn de best betaalde beroepsgroep, maar met bijna 76% ontevredenheid over hun baan.
Men moet betalen voor justitie in de VS, vooral als men een persoon van kleur is. Als dat geld niet wordt betaald, dan is het tijd voor winstgevende gevangenisstraf.
Er zijn waarschijnlijk duizenden mensen die op dit moment in een cel zitten omdat ze geen geld bij zich hadden bij hun arrestatie, niemand hebben om te bellen om hen te helpen de $50 rechtbankkosten te betalen.
Het borgsysteem moet eindigen, zei senator Bernie Sanders.
Zoveel mensen zijn gevangen en het publiek moet betalen om hen te huisvesten en te voeden, sommigen zijn er alleen voor marihuana – het is geen rehabilitatie – het groepeert soortgelijke types op zo’n manier samen dat recidive waarschijnlijker wordt.
Sommigen beschouwen justitie als wraak. Anderen beschouwen justitie als straf.
Justitie is tegenwoordig voor winstgevende gevangenissen, op kosten van het publiek. Het is corruptie.
