typical of police support officers.

Its something to do with mythology as far as I can remember - or is the whole idea of teashoci having an education just a myth? Thing is, if it didn't bother him that we don't believe him he wouldn't make such a fuss about it!

The BBC article states and I quote:

"A bogus forensic psychologist who supplied evidence in hundreds of court cases over almost 30 years has been convicted on 20 charges."

This man was a fake psychologist. This is a somewhat different job from a police officer! I do not see that it shows any form of police corruption. The man would have been cross-examined by various defence barristers (or advocates if he was used in Scotland). You must ask why the police, crown prosecution service, defence lawyers, judiciary, press reporters and jury did not pick up the fact he was a fraud.

The man is stated to be 48 years old. If the article is correct then this man must have been 18 when he first gave evidence as an expert! Why no-one questionned his experience in the early years is beyond me.
