Perhaps I am mistaken. Cheers I can only imagine that this is the same ‘leader’ of this ’survivors group’ who swallowed £650k worth of funding and then went bankrupt. Perhaps I am mistaken.

This particular survivors group has it in for Jim. I know a great deal about the "leader" of this group- the allegations of benefit fraud (trust me) are minor compared to some of the other things about her that the authorities have had to investigate.

The survivors group stand to lose a great deal of funding from the public if the challenge he is supporting is succesfull. Just to even the score though, it is public knowledge that the founder of the group concerned has herself been involved in allegations of benefit fraud to be fair. I will label the point which has already been made, Jim's expertise as a forensic expert is not in doubt and the Police have never questioned this....

They do a good job in general with limited resources, and can only rely on what they are told by the police to make their cases. The real bad guys here are the ones who suppressed the evidence to start with, and the police for head-line grabbing and not investigating. My comments are from speaking to someone who actually knows Jim Bates, and so are heresay. Just to clarify, the previous comment I left was not intended to be derogatory to the CPS.

The man in question is Jim Bates, who has been charged with perjury. This arose from when he was a prosecution witness, and was asked by the CPS to beef-up his CV by changing a BSc-equivalent diploma into a BSc. This made him more credible to the jury. Once he realised what was actually going on with Operation ore, and became a defence witness, the CPS turned around and charged him. Jim Bates was not the only person to have examined the evidence, and it does stand up to independant examination. Just a quick comment about Cambell’s “informer”.
