Lewis and Asher Johnson – brothers in their 20s, Ilford, jailed Nov 2012 – ‘Miscarriage of justice’: Brothers jailed for murder despite CCTV proving they weren’t even there – RT.com, Published: 25 Oct, 2017. Edited: 26 Oct, 2017
Two brothers, both in their 20s, jailed for murder are victims of a grave miscarriage of justice.
Asher and Lewis Johnson were each sentenced to a minimum of 16 1/2 years for the murder of Thomas Cudjoe, 29 stabbed to death by Jerome Green, in Ilford, in November 2012. The brothers were jailed under joint enterprise law. They never touched the murder weapon and left the scene before the fatal stabbing took place. “You don’t how unfair the justice system is until you’re involved in it,” their mother told RT.

Andrew Okorodudu – 47 year old, Camden, arrested Feb 2016 – Police violently arrested an innocent black man while the white suspect they were supposed to catch escaped, a watchdog has found – Owen Bowcott Legal affairs correspondent, The Guardian.
Andrew was talking with friends in Camden when he was “grabbed” by non-uniformed police officers, thrown to the ground and handcuffed in February 2016.
An internal investigation by the Metropolitan Police concluded that the arrest had been reasonable and no misconduct proceedings were necessary. This finding was recently overruled by the Independent Office for Police Conduct. The IOPC said the four officers should face disciplinary action, their actions could be tantamount to gross misconduct. The incident could have amounted to common assault. But the statutory time limit for bringing a criminal prosecution against officers had passed.
