The Scottish Police Services Authority, under the command of David Mulhern, now appears to be totally hell bent on "destroying" vital forensic services within Scotland. Not only do they have a Chief Executive who failed to support a Public Inquiry into the McKie debacle, has chosen to protect discredited Experts and allow them to operate within the Criminal Justice System, his latest plan is to close the Aberdeen Forensic Laboratory, including the Fingerprint Department.

The plan apparently is to then close the Edinburgh Laboratory. The organisation appears to be nothing short of scandalous.

Strange that the two fingerprint Bureaus who are ear marked for closure are the two who publicly spoke out over the SCRO misidentifications!

If the SPSA get their way the power will return to the Glasgow Bureau, which to this day fails to accept their errors.

The SPSA have published a professional glossy paper trying to "justify" their actions. What is happening in Scotland is nothing short of disgraceful. Cover over the cracks of the past, and try and move forward.

It can be seen at:

and clicking on the link at the bottom of the article.

There is also a petition set up on the Scottish Parliament website over these concerns. If anyone cares to add their name to the list, and offer their support to their colleagues in Scotland, it can be accessed at:

http://epetitions.scottish.parlia.../view_petition.asp?PetitionID=292

I am sure they would appreciate any support.

Thanks for your time

Why does this come as no surprise?

In a system which has become a monster out of control, and which simply constructs cases as it sees fit, "experts" are needed who will produce the necessary "evidence" to fit the official story.

It just won't do to have alternative explanations - that might destroy the chosen prosecution case. We need to convict, convict, convict (according to everything we see and hear) - evidence which might get in the way of a conviction is of no use to anyone!

It would be funny if it wasn't so serious - Scotland seems to be leading the way in how to make a complete mockery of the concept of justice.

I hope the forensics staff in these labs will join the Silent Walk on Thursday.

David Mulhern to face probe into £2 Million Spend.

Some Quotes:

Mr Mulhern has been asked to remain on leave until the issues are resolved.

Last month, it emerged that the SPSA had spent nearly £2 million on hiring consultants since it was set up less than two years ago.

George Kay, the interim SPSA convener, said: "The SPSA board has significant issues of concern over the conduct and performance of the chief executive in the course of his duties.

Do we know what is behind this, specifically.
