Andrew Garfield and Josh Brolin star in a pair of fact-based dramas about different kinds of heroism.

Out- of- control police promised murder 'witness' £2. Five men serving life for the murder of footballer Kevin Nunes (pictured) had their convictions quashed in one of the worst examples of police misconduct ever seen by the Court of Appeal. The judgment was damning. Quashing the convictions of five men serving life for the brutal murder of footballer Kevin Nunes, the Court of Appeal said the case was one of the worst examples of police misconduct it had ever seen.

Lord Justice Hooper cited documents showing Staffordshire police had tainted the evidence of the main prosecution witness, a career criminal named Simeon Taylor, by promising him a £2. Astonishingly, they had concealed the fact that while he was living under constant police protection, Taylor had been allowed to take drugs; and that two officers had used a safe house where Taylor was staying to conduct an extramarital affair; and that by falsifying documents, officers had sought to cover up a theft of money by Taylor from police minders. Not only did senior officers know that members of an elite CID unit had compromised the case, they failed to disclose an explosive internal inquiry that revealed the unit’s unprofessional behaviour to the murder trial. The judge concluded that the report suggested the ‘honesty and integrity’ of Taylor’s handlers was ‘open to question’, while their ‘documentation could not be trusted’. If it had been given to defence lawyers – as it should have been – the outcome might have been different.‘This is a very bad case of non- disclosure,’ he concluded.

It is to be hoped that the appropriate measures will be taken against those responsible for what appears to us to be a serious perversion of the course of justice.’Lord Justice Hooper cited documents showing Staffordshire police had tainted the evidence of the main prosecution witness, a career criminal named Simeon Taylor, by promising him a £2. Yet five years after he wrote those words, not one police officer has been held ‘responsible’ at all – despite a three- year inquiry by the Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) at a cost of £8 million, which uncovered further scandals – including evidence that police paid rail fares for ‘escorts’ who had threesomes with Taylor at a safe house. In the wake of the botched murder case, three senior Staffordshire officers who were involved in it were promoted to the rank of chief constable: Jane Sawyers in Staffordshire, Suzette Davenport in Gloucestershire and Adrian Lee in Northamptonshire. All have now retired, while Ms Sawyers and Ms Davenport were given policing’s most coveted award, the Queen’s Police Medal for Distinguished Service. Furthermore, an investigation by The Mail on Sunday can reveal that: An IPCC investigation report, some of it seen by this newspaper, recommended that Sawyers, Lee and Davenport should all face multiple disciplinary charges of gross misconduct. A redacted version of the report is to be published this week.

Sawyers, Lee and Davenport all deny any responsibility, claiming the IPCC inquiry, led by the former Chief Constable of Derbyshire, Mick Creedon, was ‘flawed’ – so triggering a furious, ongoing row at the top of British policing. Creedon and the IPCC still fiercely stand by his report, which runs to 7,0.

"The Witness for the Prosecution" is a short story and play by British author Agatha Christie. The story was initially published as "Traitor Hands" in Flynn's Weekly. Toby Jones and Kim Cattrall star in 'Agatha Christie's The Witness for the Prosecution,' a taut, mesmerizing mystery which becomes much more than a whodunit thanks to.

However, the police and crime commissioners in the forces led by Sawyers, Lee and Davenport refused to charge them – a decision the IPCC ultimately accepted. Neither they nor a further 1. And the damning dossier putting police in the dock Former Derbyshire chief constable Mick Creedon (pictured) produced the damning report. A three- year investigation for the Independent Police Complaints Commission led by former Derbyshire chief constable Mick Creedon, left, produced a damning report, partly seen by the Mo. S, saying three fellow chiefs including newly retired Staffordshire boss Jane Sawyers, right, had a ‘case to answer’ on multiple counts of ‘gross misconduct’ over the Nunes case.

Creedon claimed she ‘failed to investigate’ a whistleblower’s corruption allegations and failed to disclose an earlier inquiry report to murder trial lawyers. She and the other chiefs contest Creedon’s conclusions. Police and crime commissioners decided that they should not face disciplinary tribunals – leaving no one accountable for the murder case collapse. Despite refusing to discipline anyone, Staffordshire police last month settled civil lawsuits with two of the men acquitted on appeal of the Nunes murder, paying them £2. The men’s lawyers claimed in a document filed at court that Sawyers was guilty of ‘misfeasance in a public office’ – citing the same allegations contained in the IPCC report.

The Staffordshire force – described by critics as being ‘out of control’ following previous Mail on Sunday investigations – faces two further civil cases: one from the other three men cleared on appeal of the Nunes killing and the second by Nunes’s teenage son. At the time of his murder, Nunes’s girlfriend, Leanne Williams, was five months pregnant with him. A recent psychological report says the saga has had a devastating impact on his mental health and education.

Kevin Nunes’s blood- soaked remains were found on a lane near Wolverhampton on September 1. He had apparently been kidnapped, savagely beaten and finished off with shots from two separate handguns. Later, police would suggest that Nunes, 2. But he had no convictions and his family insist he was devoted to football: he had trained with the semi- professional Staffordshire Rangers and had been on the books of Tottenham Hotspur. For three years, the police made little progress in the murder inquiry. Then, according to the IPCC report, Simeon Taylor, a career criminal serving time for an unrelated offence, boasted to another inmate that he had helped ‘do the footballer’. The other prisoner told detectives.

Approached by police, Taylor told officers that after Nunes was abducted, he had driven him and two of the alleged killers, Adam Joof and Antonio Christie, to the site of the murder and witnessed the attack. Taylor could have been charged with murder. Instead, he was taken into ‘protective custody’ by Staffordshire’s Sensitive Policing Unit (SPU), and moved round a series of luxury hotels and safe houses. Twice he was taken on free holidays to South Africa.

Taylor was the central prosecution witness at the trial and, under cross- examination, denied being promised any reward or other inducements. In January 2. 00. In 2. 00. 9, a year after the trial, a friend of Taylor taped a phone call from him, in which Taylor said he had lied. His retraction prompted the Court of Appeal to ask Mick Creedon to conduct a preliminary inquiry.

As he started to dig, he discovered that serious concerns about Taylor’s handling by the SPU had been known to senior officers long before the murder trial – but not disclosed. Towards the end of 2. SPU had acquired a new boss, Detective Inspector Joe Anderson.

He soon became appalled by what he found. One of the officers handling Taylor was making fraudulent expenses claims. Documents showed that Taylor had stolen £3. He was going out drinking with officers and being allowed to take drugs. All of this was being covered up – apparently because someone had decided that Taylor had to give evidence at the murder trial ‘at all costs’.

Anderson also learnt of the extra- marital affair between two officers. He wasn’t worried about his colleagues’ morals, but he had serious concerns about the relationship’s effect on the trial. One of the pair was part of Taylor’s protection team and in that role was not supposed to know anything about the developing case.
