      Petition to free Michael Shields
      Apr 21, 2007 11:43:34 am
      Michael Shields trial was an absolute sham, everyone knows it.

      Someone else has admitted to the crime, and eyewitness reports disagreed to whether it was actually him. In Bulgaria this might be enough to get you convicted & banged up, but he's back in England now and so far the authorities still haven't done the right thing and released him.

      I ask everyone to click the link below & sign the petition asking for his immediate release.

      Thank you.

      I have amended the link in your message Eddie.  You had posted to a misspelt version which seemed to have a lot less signatures.

      Please sign this ePetition
      http://petitions.pm.gov.uk/MichaelCShields/


      A petition calling on the Prime Minister to recognise the
      deep concerns people have about the safety of the conviction of
      Michael Shields for a crime committed in Bulgaria. We call on
      the Prime Minister and his Government to do all they can to
      assist in persuading the Bulgarian Government to re-open the
      case and for them to look at new and existing evidence.

      Further the Prime Minister is called upon to ask the Bulgarian
      Authorities through Interpol to ask for further investigations
      to be carried out by Merseyside Police by interviewing those
      who have provided new and additional information supporting
      Michael Shields claim to be innocent of the assault on
      Bulgarian Waiter Martin Georgiev.

      Michael Shields was convicted of a crime he claims he did not
      commit. Evidence was not allowed to be heard in the Bulgarian
      Court which included evidence from people who confirmed that
      Michael was indeed in his bed. Other evidence was not allowed
      during an appeal because it was deemed to be too late,because
      it was not heard in the original trial. This evidence and that
      of new witnesses needs to be taken into account.

      Michael Shields is now in a UK Prison and has served
      nearly two years in May 2007 for a crime someone else has owned
      up to. This Government should do all it possibly can to
      persuade the Bulgarians to re-open this case and examine
      thoroughly all the evidence that exists.

      The petition has been set up by Cllr Joe Anderson of Liverpool Labour Party.

      Unlikely. Probably out boning one of his horses as we speak.

      Anyway, Mickey Shields - if this petition thing doesn't work out I'm getting these fellas on the case.

      I don't get how he's still in jail :( Ok, they arrested the wrong guy, they should've just admitted it and freed him, not kept him, even though someone else has admitted to the crime.. :'( Is their legal or justice system, whatever it is, that diabolical?!

      The petition is up to nearly 13,000 people already.

      If you haven't signed the petition then do so now - add your name, add your email and then click a link in your email when it arrives.  Easy. You've backed an innocent man.
