BBCMore than 50 years ago, a person who was wrongly convicted for the robbery attempt of a corrupt police officer had approved his name in the court.
Ronald de Suja was detained for six months following a case investigated by the British Transport Police (BTP) officer DET SGT Derek Ridgewell, who was responsible for a series of racist abortion of justice.
Mr. D Suja was part of the group known as Stockwell Six. He was accused of trying to rob Ridgewell during one night in South London in 1972, despite the gamblers telling that the authorities lied and subjected to violence and threats.
One of the victims of the ridgewell, Errol Campbell, posthumously overturned his sentence.
Criminal Affairs Review Commission (CCRC) reviewed the sentence of Mr. D Suja after being convicted by its co-operatives Paul Green, Courtney Herriot, Cleveland Davidson and Texo Johnson, finishing in 2021.
The sixth member of the so -called Stockwell Six, Everet Mulins was acquitted as it was shown that his reading ability was not enough for him to read and perfectly understood his signed statement, written for him by Ridgewell.
In his judgment on Thursday, Lord Justice Holroid said that Mr. D Suja, who did not participate in court, “bore the burden of his wrong punishment in his adult life”.
He said, “We are sorry that this court cannot put all that she has faced more than half a century.”
