Justice For Alfred ?.

The information I have shared with you regarding anomalies in the case against Alfred Moore , is just the tip of the iceberg . There is much more to it than that and I have compiled a detailed dossier on my new evidence and new arguments , this was handed to the Criminal Cases Review Commission , on the 15th July 2009 . This is an independent body who have the power to look into possible miscarriages of justice. Whilst anybody can apply to have a case reviewed there is no guarantee that the commission will take the case on , you have to be able to back up your claims with either new evidence that wasn't available at the trial , or some new argument/s which were not made at the original trial. The review is in two stages , firstly they conduct an initial review and if the commission believe there is substance to what is being claimed , then they will then take the matter to the next level , a full review. Having reviewed the matter in full and if your claims have 'held' , they then have the power to refer the matter back to the Court of Criminal Appeal . It is then up to the Court to either uphold or dismiss the appeal.

It has been four months now since the commission received my file and I am hoping to hear shortly , as to the result of the initial review. Personally and I stress that this is a personal view, that the matter will go to full review and hopefully beyond.

The Moore case has never been as high profile as the case of Craig and Bentley or the case of Ruth Ellis both which attracted great publicity over the years . In the case of Alfred Moore , the main reason it was never elevated to greater public awareness , was because the Moore family were honest , hard working gentle folk who accepted the verdict of the jury , they were stigmatized and over a period of time Alfred's brothers and sisters ( of which there were nine)
and their families left their native shores , some settled in New Zealand and others in Australia where most of them live to this day , some of whom have been in contact with me since my reinvestigation started. The daughters of Alfred Moore are alive and well and living in this country , they are desperate to clear their father's name.

Since I have been able to study in detail the evidence in the case , both what was available at the time and the more dramatic pieces of evidence which I have uncovered recently , I have to say , again , in my opinion , Alfred Moore was the victim of a Gross miscarriage of justice. I would go as far as saying that the Police officers involved at the time , contrived to have a man killed by legal means.

I am trying to raise the profile of this case , but the attitude of those in the media and the press is one of apathy. It has been suggested that the subject matter is not current and therefore of little interest to the public. We are talking here of a man who was put to death by the authorities , in the twentieth century , for a crime he did not commit. Where are all those who regularly beat the drum and sound the horn when it comes to debate on the re-introduction of the death penalty ?. Probably sat at home watching some reality TV show with which this nation
appears to have become obsessed , more concerned with what Katie and Peter do next , than address issues that affect 'real' peoples lives. AlfredMoore believed that having put his case to his solicitor , he would have his day in court , the truth would out and he would be acquitted. He did not understand the lengths people would go to in order to have him convicted , that is until the morning of his execution when the penny finally dropped . He then took the time to write down his final thoughts and pointed an accusing finger at those he considered to have conspired against him. No doubt there are those who would have this matter brushed under the carpet .


I on the other hand will not let this matter drop and I am in the future going to raise the profile of Alfred Moore . I need suggestions and offers of help , please if you read this blog , tell others let them read it , leave messages and your ideas .( see link below) The Moore family has a right to the truth , they have a right to be heard and above all else they have a right to justice for Alfred.

I am just putting the finishing touches to a book I have written on this subject , it is the culmination of three years work , I have left nothing out , all the facts speak for themselves if you want the truth or are into true crime then it is a must read.
I am currently looking for someone to publish for me , if your interested , contact me by e-mail at info.atpolicemurders1951@ntlworld.com

Another sad note , I have previously mentioned that initially I was assisted in my investigation by my friend Colin van Bellen . On the 24th September 2008 , Colin suffered a heart attack which proved fatal , he died believing that Alfred Moore was innocent.
