Michael Bunting [unfortunately, Michael will not be able to attend] |
 |
Michael Bunting, a police officer, was the victim of an unprovoked, vicious attack in 1997 by a known offender, who was convicted of assault. But in 1999 he too was convicted of assault and jailed for defening himself against this same assailant, despite clear evidence to prove his innocence. Author of A Fair Cop, he has spent the last decade trying to clear his name. | |
Billy Middleton |

In 2008 Billy was accused of murdering his daughter and acquitted after a trial. Appalled at what he and his family experienced, he founded www.wronglyaccusedperson.org.uk to support the wrongly accused/convicted and their families, particularly child witnesses. He continues to highlight cases of injustice and its causes.
