Criminal

Conflict of interest? or corrupt police?

I've asked a few questions on my common assault charge involving my ex girlfriend recently but I haven't yet mentioned the involvement of a certain Police constable. I didn't know the investigating officer at the time of interwiew but found out afterwards he was the former partner of friend of mine (ex from years ago). They had recently split up due to constant rows and he had been cautioned for sending her offensive texts and sexual picture messages and recordings of him having sex with his new girlfriend and also violent behaviour. This had caused her to have a breakdown. The P.C was very jealous of me; I've found out that my name was brought up in a lot of arguments so I was mentioned in the prosecution against him. He kept his job by the skin of his teeth and my friend was assured he would never be allowed to work on cases of domestic violence. In my case the victim has lied about and exaggerated many facts. Recently she came to my house ( i reported bail breach)and told me she and the P.C had talked about my involvement with his ex and he asked her how badly she wanted to ruin me and basically tainted her statement. He asked for emails I'd sent her from work to try to get me sacked.He told my solicitor I would be bailed in 10 minutes and the cps would make a decision the next day,but locked me up for a further 4 hours when solicitor left the station and charged me. He failed to interview the only independant witness which would have seen me get a slapped wrist or a caution rather than being £2k down on solicitors.I am 40 and have no previous dealings with the police.
Would police professional standards allow him to work on my case?
Should he have told his superiors of the situation? Should my solicitor be using this as part of my defence as he seems reluctant to do so?

I read the last posting.

You losted it with the EX, grabbed her round the throat yes?

Look mate, we all lose it, but sometimes you just gotta put your hands up.

Be a man and take whatever happens to you like a man.

I losted it with a bloke in a pub and smashed a glass in his face, I got 4.5 yrs.

Pick yourself up, brush yourself off, and move on, lifes too short buddy

Fair point., I'll take what I get. I'm just after opinions.
I agree in principle what you're saying although didn't actually grab her round the throat or lose it. I did grab her , yes but why does that cost me £2K when I would have got a caution if it had been a an officer without a grudge

RULE ONE : You will never beat the Police - They are the biggest private members club in the UK.

They stick together like mud on a blanket, and can stich you up at the blink of a eye.

I have had mates do time for drugs they didn't have, or throwing punches they didn't throw, if your cards marked then your cards marked.

Look my friend, we all make mistakes.

Why hang onto the past ?.

I would have paid £10,000 to keep out of Prison.

Take my advice, be a man, forget the past, and look towards the future.

BRAVO1 is right. You need to stop hitting women and then looking for idiotic excuses to weasel your way out of it.

No offence, but you sound like a cowardly maggot that deserves to get a good hiding.

Thanks for your input.
I was found not guilty today. The constable in question was suitably embarrassed as my ex came clean about they're plot to ruin me. Not sure what will happen to them now but I should recoup some of my money.
Thanks to every for advice and I will indeed move on from here.
