I don't take any side in the Peter Ellis case. He may or may not
be guilty. I do know however, that the evidence that convicted him was based on
deliberate lies and fabrication by adults, unintentional lies and fabrication
by children, and the deliberate concealment and suppression of evidence that
would have harmed the prosecution case.
