artdoc July=1991

26-year old John Roberts from Salford has been freed from a
14-year term for armed robbery by the Appeal Court because
of irregularities involving West Midlands Serious Crime
Squad. (Daily Mail 17.1.91; Independent 17.1.91) And a man
who says he was wrongly convicted of a theft because of
evidence concocted by the West Midlands Serious Crime Squad
has been granted permission to appeal. (Independent 2.2.91)
Meanwhile, a new inquiry into the now disbanded West
Midlands Serious Crime Squad has begun after Labour MP Clare
Short accused the crime squad of mounting a smear campaign
on her private life in a Sunday tabloid. (Independent
25.1.91)
