The website is about one issue, the paradox that Liam Allan as a criminology student – with charisma, maturity and support – ended up in a court case that did not apply to him and only got out by chance, at the eleventh hour, after a two-year crucifixion, as a result of dysfunctions – including “disclosure of information”.
