Database clears up crimes but not used to clear up miscarriages?

NSW Police Minister John Watkins said at the launch of a Sydney conference of international forensic experts meeting to mark 100 years of fingerprinting in NSW.

He said the 'collection of DNA from prisoners and suspects' in NSW during the past two years had led to more than 5,400 matches on the forensic database.


[However because John Watkins NSW Police Minister suspended the Innocence Panel he only sees DNA used to convict people and not used to clear up ANY miscarriages of justice? Shame on big brother!

[Not just that, but now the authorities have 'forced prisoners' to give them DNA profiles, those profiles can now be 'planted at crime scenes'.]


Weak NSW Government suspends Innocence Panel

The DNA evidence panel is under investigation and the New South Wales Innocence Panel's operations have been suspended and a review of how it works ordered.

Corrupt police planting DNA evidence at crime scenes

Military lawyers await probe on DNA tampering

The Army's Criminal Investigation Command said nearly 500 forensic test results from all services dating back 10 years are under review after one of its examiners allegedly faked results. About 119 of those cases pertain to the Navy and Marine Corps.

Murder charge first for DNA data bank link, but not the same as solving the murder

As long as the the prisoners DNA wasn't planted at the crime scene. It is one thing to force prisoners to hand over their DNA and another thing to exploit it.

Allegedly a forensic database has led to more than 720 convictions in the past two years in cases where police had no prior leads. But has not led to any being found innocent because the Innocents Panel has been suspended?

GKCNN spoke with Justice Actions Michael Strutt who says One thing I do know is that 596 of the 725 convictions have been burglary related with only a handful of more serious offences detected.

"Some obvious questions that can only be answered by separating facts from spin are" -

(i) How many actual offences and offenders does the 725 convictions represent? (ie. A single burglary can result in a conviction for break & enter, trespass, malicious damage, multiple counts of goods in custody, possession of implements, etc, etc). A search of the suspect's house can often result in several more charges (eg. drug related).

(ii) How many offenders does that 725 convictions relate to and how many received custodial sentences as a result.

(iii) The police say that there were more than 3500 'cold hits'. What proportion of those actually resulted in an investigation and what happened with the thousands of cold hits that *didn't* result in a conviction?

(iv) How many cold hits were to people who could not possibly have committed the offence (as with the Jaydn Leskie case, the Raymond Easton burglary case in the UK and the Operations Rex and Pad murder cases in NZ)?

(v) How many cold hit cases were discontinued amid doubts about contamination of the crime scene by investigating police, whether deliberate or accidental (ie. what indications are there so far that NSW police are continuing to plant DNA at crime scenes as they did in the R v Lisoff case)?

Deeds
I am disturbed by Governments 'actions' in relation to shuffling the police service. Clive Small seconded into Parliament like a cocky in a perch. A breach of the fundamental Separation of Powers Doctrine does not in my view allow the thought of intervening, planning, or shuffling to stack the deck of our police service.

Where the Parliamentary Secretary can ask the commissioner of police to 'report' then sack him if he is not satisfied with such report.

Dr. Chadbourne sacked by Peter Ryan and more specifically in my view because he elected deputy commissioners Dave Madden and Andrew Scipione as the best men in the service in relation to his qualifications to make a recommendation in his capacity as human resources.That is if you believe that a Dr. can be corrupted.

Honesty
What is happening between the Police Service and politics is quite extraordinary at the moment. If stand over tactics don't work tell half the truth honestly and follow the example of sheep. Another word for it is sleaze, yeah. Another word for it is workplace harassment. Another word for it is bribing a Police Officer. Another word for it is misleading Parliament.

Tele Tales
Most people I know don't buy the Daily Telegraph. Why? Because of the lies and propaganda purported by them.

Lord Denning
Interesting how a member of the Police Board Mr. Tim Priest would hold grave fears for his safety from dangerous senior police but fails to name them or have them sacked. Rather Priest resigns as if he had no powers. Could that mean what he was saying is that the Governments are also corrupt?

Corrosive
Clive Small is Bob Carr's choice for the new Police Commissioner. It could only be the case considering his, Small's special appointment into Parliament House. Small who suffers from the little person syndrome is the ideal bend over boy who gets shuffled through his corrupt actions.

Black Nexus

He should be taken to the task along with his partners in crime like Clive Small to account for those people who like my self have been maliciously assaulted and who have complained, without any service and those who cannot speak for themselves who were murdered, like Terry Falconer. Terry murdered in custody.
