Fool - he was as guilty as he later admitted to his wife and elderly parents. he had his hands up her vagina must have been feeling for a pulse there too this mentally challenged boy LOL. The tragedy is that he got off & got paid & the admitted he'd really done it. & still he's seen as not guilty.
Public should call for police to be prosecuted under these circumstances. Disgusting. I’ve seen way too many of these cases. Poor Steve. My sons have special needs and this kind of thing terrifies me. They don’t even keep child killers in prison that long here. It’s just so abhorrent.
You have a palm print..! Test that against her ex boyfriend who she was pregnant with, whilst still married. He has the initials JBM. They used to meet regular at the church yard as they both have parents who are buried there. She was pregnant with his child and was going to put the child up for adoption (( she gave birth to a boy btw)) gives him motive. He joined the army soon after and blankly stated he has never been questioned,,,,the only interview he had, he encouraged himself with the Matlock mercury and it made front page. He also has a strong distaste for don hale too which he makes very obvious. I've tried to get this info out for years and got no where.... J B M NEEDS LOOKING AT CLOSER.
Good grief. Is there no one who would be interested? Judge Rinder perhaps, if only to get some action taken or give some advice. Who knows if the police were not helping him. To accuse blindly a young man like Stephen, an innocent is criminal in itself. Lazy cops, or guilty cops?
Ok then what about the fact Stephen has admitted to interfering with the body , or the fact don hale has been accused of telling lies as to what people in his book said .... Then there is also the fact Stephen claimed that he was interviewed without an adult but yet that was found to be false as his father spoke with him .... Stephen point blank refused to be interviewed in the follow up investigations ... There is more than enough evidence that shows the police got the right man
Michael Stone has always maintained his innocence and now after 24 years in Prison he is eligible for Parole this year, but he has refused to apply because he is innocent. It wouldn't surprise me if they find him dead one day, as it would save a lot of embarrassment all round.
The old Bill fitted up a lot of people easier than doing their jobs steven was deprived of his rights bless him 🙏 I hope Steve sued the arse of the government compensation is the very least he deserves
A travesty of justice so wrong that poor boy locked up for something he didn't do such a good family. Hope he was well compensated not that money can make up for what he's been through. But it would help get into life make a home again.
The threats from locals suggest that it is possible some people knew who did it, and didn't want it discovered. Those threats should have been investigated. Were they?
OMG People really still believe this joker was innocent. I can't believe it. He even was recorded by his own wife and admitted to his own parents years later he HAD committed the murder. Judge Rinder I just lost all respect for your show.
It’s all over the internet. Look at Wikipedia. He admitted carrying out an indecent assault on this poor unconscious woman at the time of the court case, and has admitted killing her since. His father was a sexual offender too. His was facing charges rape, but died before it went to court. The apple didn’t fall far from the tree.
Unfortunately probably not much,preverting the course of justice you can get life for this but in reality you get very little time I believe ??? also perjury??
this case has been done like a dinner left in the oven to bake hard. I don’t know how many documentaries and also dramatisations I have seen of it. Time to move on instead of reinventing the wheel. However it is not my wish in saying that, to diminish the atrocious policing and corruption that robbed this man of so much of his life. I am just sick of media exploitation of it. .
This man was guilty. Police reinvestigated it and he was again the only possible suspect. Also he admitted to both his wife & parents after his release that he had murdered Wendy. Quote < Police reinvestigation Downing found to be the only suspect Following the Court of Appeal overturning Stephen Downing's conviction, the Derbyshire Police reinvestigated the murder under the name Operation Noble. During 2002, they interviewed 1,600 witnesses, at an estimated cost of £500,000 - though Downing himself refused to be reinterviewed.[9] A year after the conviction was overturned, in February 2003, Derbyshire police revealed the findings of their reinvestigation of the murder. 22 other possible suspects had been investigated, many of whom had been suggested by Don Hale during his campaign, and in his book Town Without Pity. One of the alternative suspects was Downing's father, who had been driving the bus that dropped Sewell near her workplace on the morning she was assaulted.[10] All of these alternative suspects were cleared of any possibility of having murdered Wendy Sewell. Downing, meanwhile, was the only suspect who could not be eliminated, indicating that he may have been guilty after all.[9][21] New forensic evidence also pointed to him having carried out the attack.[22] The police had wanted to question Downing about three confessions he made to the murder since his release from prison, including one recorded on audio tape, but he refused to comply.[10][23] A woman who he was in a relationship with had taped him confessing during an argument, and he was also alleged to have confessed to his father on two occasions in 2002 after his release.[10] Although he had refused to be interviewed for the reinvestigation, Downing issued a formal complaint after the findings were announced, saying: "They said that they would do a thorough investigation into the matter - they have not done".[22] An independent committee set up to oversee the police investigation later concluded that the inquiry had been completely fair and that they were satisfied with the integrity and rigour of the investigation.[24] Downing's solicitor was among those on the committee and himself concluded that the investigation had been fair.[24] After failing to link any other person with the murder, and unable to eliminate Downing as the suspect, the police declared the case closed and said they were not looking for anyone else.[23] Even though Downing remained the prime suspect, under the "double jeopardy" rules in place at the time a suspect could not be re-arrested and charged with a crime they had previously been acquitted of.[9] The police said that, had the law been different, they would have applied to the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) to again charge Downing with the murder.[9] The findings of the investigation led to public doubts over whether he should have been released.[10] unquote
I'm sorry, but Stephen Downing remains the chief - the only - suspect for the murder of Wendy Sewell, and the other alternative suspects have been eliminated from inquiries. This is a pretty one-sided look at the case for a TV barrister who pretends to run a real court but is really a circus.
I believe that it should be a law that a police member who gets a forced confesion should serve a minimum of 5 years in prison.
💔💔 the police who made this happen should serve every second of the sentence he did & then some ...happens alot more than people think this 💔
Fool - he was as guilty as he later admitted to his wife and elderly parents. he had his hands up her vagina must have been feeling for a pulse there too this mentally challenged boy LOL. The tragedy is that he got off & got paid & the admitted he'd really done it. & still he's seen as not guilty.
True - except the sentence after the .....s. That bit is rather short sighted.
100% agree. I'm still going through something like this :(
They should be shamed and utterly disgusted in their ‘work’ in THEMSELVES!! I hope the powers that be .. PUNISHED THESE BULLYS IN UNIFORM!!!🤮🤬
No punishment for any of the police involved!. Goverment will not charge any officer as it upsets the rest of the police force!.
Questioned over s/a the police were clear they were happy to fit up if necessary
What a dear blessed man Steven is. Bless you, sir!
Lol Do you often bless murderers? He was guilty and admitted it to his wife & parents years after his release.
Police officers who fit people up for crimes they haven't committed should go to prison them self
No justice here just low life policemen fitting up a vulnerable man...discugusting treatment and no repercussions 💔
The police involved where not fired! They where let carry on as normal!.
This man deserves financial compensation from your government!!!
He got loads
@@joshrushton5950 Do you know how much?
@@joshrushton5950 Would you call one hundred and sixty thousnd loads?
The so called Police officers…😡should be named and shamed if so AGAIN!! I bet they are really proud.. NOT!!
Poor Man..What a terrible miscarriage of justice.
Was not - he murdered her alright!!
Public should call for police to be prosecuted under these circumstances. Disgusting. I’ve seen way too many of these cases. Poor Steve. My sons have special needs and this kind of thing terrifies me. They don’t even keep child killers in prison that long here. It’s just so abhorrent.
police fitting someone up ? - now THAT is a surprise - NOT !!!!!
The same thing happened with The precious little girls found in the woods 😔 sickening!!!!!

@@janechanning984 I've tried many people, even judge grinder , with no interest back. It's sad, as this could " possibly" be solved.

Don Hale - A proper reporter.
Really funny how his book has been found to be full of lies and a lot of the people interviewed for it deny what don hale claims they said
A travesty of justice so wrong that poor boy locked up for something he didn't do such a good family. Hope he was well compensated not that money can make up for what he's been through. But it would help get into life make a home again.
God Bless this man!
I’m still in prison for something I did not do in 1985. I was shot and became a disabled person.
Why does he dress as a judge .?he's a barrister .?reality tv ..😆💥
In the UK the attorneys also wear robes in court...
And of course … wrong justice for the poor Girl. 😔😔😔
Feel bad for him, hope he sued for false imprisonment! Meanwhile the real killer gets to be out there to kill more women.
What a lovely man !
Disgraceful police work. Myopic. Bless you Steven.
The threats from locals suggest that it is possible some people knew who did it, and didn't want it discovered. Those threats should have been investigated. Were they?
Psychopath show remorse and get to be free again, so they can carry on killing even more victims
A few bent coppers took that guy’s life.
Did he really get his 1.8 million Euros settlement? Hope so
No! 160,000 pounds!.
Totally disgusting an innocent man corrupt police and what happens to them.
OMG People really still believe this joker was innocent. I can't believe it. He even was recorded by his own wife and admitted to his own parents years later he HAD committed the murder. Judge Rinder I just lost all respect for your show.

I love Emma Kenny. One of my favorite true crime RUclipsrs. Every Wednesday and Sunday!!!
How is Stephen doing now?
What was Stephen's connection with Clairvoyant Christine Smith?
what is the punishment / deterent for the police officers that clearly set him up?????
Unfortunately probably not much,preverting the course of justice you can get life for this but in reality you get very little time I believe ??? also perjury??
Sorry.. but the so called ‘jury’ where they too honest, bright orange attentive..they too shouldn’t sleep easy!! SHAMEFULL. Poor man. Xx
They can run genetic genealogy tests & find out who the killer is or was if he’s even still alive.
Its called a stitch up
I remember everything about this case and the boy was innocent
Disgusting police work on this boy
A quick read onto this case and you will see hes not innocent
I don't think Peter Sutcliffe did this murder who did??? someone local maybe
So killed her?
this case has been done like a dinner left in the oven to bake hard. I don’t know how many documentaries and also dramatisations I have seen of it. Time to move on instead of reinventing the wheel.

In my view it should be kept in the media forever and a day... Lest we forget.

As soon as I hear his entitled voice I have to turn it off.
Sorry, uploading at 240p in the year 2020 is unacceptable.
Wow! His hair style was criminal!
