James Moore is fighting to clear his name for murder he says he didn’t commit. But star witness still hasn’t been contacted
Almost 18 months have passed since Jason Moore offered vital evidence to the low justice observer to overthrow murder conviction, but it is still not closer to freedom.
The only witness of the murder was drunk, and the right man was not sure whether Moore had a 12 -year imprisonment for a 12 -year imprisonment for a crime that he insisted on his undertaking.
However, in about one and a half years, the Criminal Cases, which were under the “Emergency Investigation ğı by the Secretary of Justice, could not even talk to the witness.
Right priest Dr Joanne Grenfell, who was disappointed with the lack of action, took a step to help Stepney bishop. When he tried to communicate with the witness, Abdul Ahmed, who explained his doubts to an investigation journalist in 2023, found him at home after playing his front door twice. Independent can reveal.
The bishop said that Moore’s inability to fulfill the most basic questions because he was standing in prison left a serious concern about the ability to make justice for everyone ”.
Bishop Grenfell, who supported Moore’s freedom campaign, said, “It wasn’t that hard. I went in the morning and it was there,” he said.
“It is quite incredible that no one insists on doing this. He clearly lives there and has lived there for a while.”
He said that CCRC’s efforts to contact Mr. Ahmed were not “good enough” because he hit the investigation organ that was constantly under fire to address other cases, including Andrew Malkinson, who served 17 years in prison for a rape that he did not commit.
Last week, Justice Secretary Shabana Mahmood founded Dame Vera Baird, the commissioner of the former victims, as a temporary president and ordered the CEO of Karen Kneller to make an urgent examination of the corpse that admitted that it was “maybe one or two days a day or two days a day while drawing a salary fed with an £ 130,000.
Last month, MPs asked CCRC to resign after being accused of misleading the Justice Committee for testing him to address the wrong conviction of Mr. Malkinson.
An investigation led by Chris Henley KC found that it could be cleared 10 years ago, even if there were no serious failures by the review board.
18 months after Moore’s application, the researchers did not contact Mr. Ahmed that it was “absolutely shocking ::“ No one has to wait for this period. ”
He said Independent CCRC needs “energetic, focused and meticulous leadership için to correctly investigate the abortions of justice.
“Every day there was a numb approach and Bay Malkinson had many of them in the case – a day when someone lost his life and should be at the forefront of CCRC’s work,” he said. Independent.
In a message of HMP Oakwood in Wolverhampton, Moore accused CCRC’s leaders of treating “people’s lives like toys ,,“ When you have evidence of cleaning them, it is an evil that must be crushed ”.
His sister Kirstie described CCRC as a “Shambolic” while hitting a series of excuses from the commissioner who had to examine his case.
“My brother’s freedom is based on the independence and effort of CCRC,” he said. Independent.
“When justice fails, our last hope. Still 18 months have passed, and CCRC has nothing to be shown – there is no sign of an effort, just a relentless excuse. And still Jason, the person who pays for tired resignation and neglect.
“To move ‘means moving – and the bishop Joanne Grenfell, who did this, is thankful to God for Grenfell. He played twice and brought the efforts to the door.”
Moore, a former 53 -year -old professional gambler, claims that Robert Darby’s stab in 2005, except for a pub on the eastern end of London.
Mr Darby’s brother Bishop Grenfell and Cricket Legend Sir Ian Botham, including a series of high -profile supporters, supported the proposal to break the conviction.
Lord Nicholas Monson, a justice campaign, who visited Moore in prison and supports his fight, said that this indifference shows that CCRC simply shows that he does not “care ..
“These people do things to eliminate injustice and do the opposite,” he added.
Andy Slaughter, President of the Parliamentary Justice Committee, welcomed the Committee in a report last month, after stating that there was “strong concerns about how the investigations operate, and the CCRC’s“ very needed ”examination was welcomed.
A CCRC spokesman said: “We received an application for this case and a review continues.
“We have repeatedly made efforts to communicate with all parties. These efforts will continue.
“At this stage, it is not appropriate to discuss the application more.”
