A common sense solution, i would like to see the accuser be pursued for the monies in some blatant cases, even if it does spoil her lifestyle for a few years.

the Problem is what if a habitual criminal is found innocent of murder due to lack of evidence are you say this person should be compensated too?

I think it is so sad. What a nightmare for this family, it's just so wrong! The system is an absolute joke.

The least they could do is pay compensation to those where it has been made clear because of the evidence that they are innocent and its not because of lack of evidence.

That would help, but of course it should never have come to this. The matter should have been looked into and investigated properly and fairly in the first instance, it would have saved so much anguish and despair - not to mention money.

They have things all wrong, they do things backwards.

As has often been said, we don't have a justice system, we have a legal system.

14 and 28, that's carnal knowledge right? Wonder if the neighbour who actually did commit a sex crime has been charged. Sounds like not.

Kenny, what you have said, is it - if a person has been found innocent of murder, then obviously the person is innocent.

You are obscuring the point where many people often give perjured testimony against innocent people - and innocence should be compensated - regardless of your own petty prejudice.

Of course it would never happen to you ..... would it?
