This happened in Christchurch, like Cornelius Vercamp the light bulb looter...

Its also a case of Christchurch discrimination. Christchurch is a very hard place, especially for coloured or neurodiverse people.

Drivers in Christchurch are renowned for an aggressive, in your face style of driving.

I don't think either of these cases would have happened in Auckland, thanks Christchurch police

I remember watching an old tv news article (60 minutes ?) about Mr Farmer's case. It pointed out the arresting officer decided to target Mr Farmer, because he wanted a conviction more than finding who actually committed the rape, and probably prejudice. The officer in question retired a long time ago and was not approached and questioned about his actions.


So the police there must be lazy asses too. They should put that officer in a rusted out US or Canadian market Jeep XJ Cherokee, and let the accused finish him off with either a car crusher or a large running piece of Detroit Iron as that would teach him, and would kill two birds with one stone.

Paraphrased Quote: "Yeah I got raped, It was that guy, but he looks different from the guy that raped me... But it was him." 8O Officer: "OK It Was Him" 8O

This Is why I'm losing faith in humanity... :roll:

Not just that. Much evidence proving he was elsewhere, like the video in the petrol station forecourt at a time proving he could not have been with the woman, and much more, was never presented as evidence.

The cops thought he's a ret*d, he'll do.

Just read the wiki thanks, poor guy.

Found this extensive list on the same wiki page

I wonder how what percentage were oddballs that did not fit in

He had a Granada Television docudrama dedicated to his case that was on TV in 1998 here in the UK. I was about nine or ten years old at the time - that affected me considerably, watching about the miscarriage of justice that he suffered. By quite a few accounts the police were lying bastards at the time as well. A Life for a Life, it's called. Worth a watch, though I used to think until I checked just now that the actor who played Stefan in A Life for a Life was the same fella who played dork-faced schoolboy Gordon Grimley in the 1970s retro-comedy The Grimleys which began airing on ITV a year later. It turns out not to be the case, though I can see the resemblance. :)

A TV film adaptation of the tragic story of Stefan Kiszko was made in 1998, A Life for a Life, directed by Stephen Whittaker and featuring Tony Maudsley as Kiszko and Olympia Dukakis as his mother Charlotte. A documentary about the case, Real Crime: The 30 Year Secret, was broadcast by ITV1 on 29 September 2008.

Is Christchurch near anything important? If it isn't they should move the coloured and neurodiverse people out and let the French perform atmospheric testing on the people left in the place, or at least have some Air Force "Dresden" the place. That would make it better for the people they move back in, and allows them to start from a clean slate, as Christchurch needs some serious demolition to make it First World.

He says he's getting old to go around the world on his motorbike, but that's just bull unless the bike is an AMF-era Harley Davidson or another bike with a similar level of unreliability, as you would probably spend a lot more time trying to get it running again than actually riding it.

The idea of using that part of New Zealand for atom bomb tests is plain stupid, I would rather go for an alternative way to deal with the problem.

Investigate the policeman for dishonesty relating to this case, lets consider him for perjury. Also anyone else who recklessly or wilfully withheld evidence to the defence which would have cleared the aspie should be in the dock for some crime against the legal system.

Plus

A civil case against the policeman and any other person who wilfully/recklessly contributed to the man going to prison should be launched, this could have a punishing effect of bankrupting some of the people.

In the UK, when people are released after wrongful imprisonment, the govt. sends them a bill for board and lodging! 8O

Im not joking, after a long stretch the figures can get very high.

A person who wrongly accuses another so that the other is punished should be subject to the punishment that is inflicted on the one who is wrongly accused. If A wants to accuse B of a crime he/she better be damned sure of the accusation.

You could always send them out in a small boat adrift and hope they go South as if they do, they probably won't come back. They you could seize all of their assets, as they probably won't been needing them again. The whole of the majority population of Christchurch is against people like us and other minorities, as the actions of the Christchurch police has so clearly shown us. You can't "Dresden" a place with nukes, as the allies didn't use them to level Dresden during WWII.

Yes I have heard of that and I think it is deeply wrong. A person who is in prison wrongly has not made a contract to be fed and housed in the prison, UK contract law says that you have to freely enter into a contract for it to be valid. So as the "contract" was made under duress then it is void !

I think that if a bank robber was to say that he got the bank staff to hand over £ 10000000 freely in exchange for a tiny little note then it would not wash with the court as a valid contract. The fact that the bank staff were being held at gun point means that they were acting under duress when they agree to swap the money for the note.

Also if the wrongly convicted should be billed for their prison time, why not extend it to those who were rightfully placed in jail ! It is a stupid idea but just a slightly less stupid idea than billing the wrongfully jailed person.
