NOT EVERYONE CHARGED WITH AN OFFENCE IS GUILTY; IF THEY WERE WE WOULDN'T NEED COURTS. A cornerstone of our court system is the presumption of innocence. The person charged may be guilty of nothing, guilty of nothing but poor judgement, be guilty of only a minor part of the allegations.

We are seeing a rise in the serial complainer, the person looking for civil damages, the after the fact rape decision where family or friends decide it was rape. The entitled who decide that an offence was committed, then manufacture circumstances to suite. Some treat criminal complaints as a game. The courts permit this. A private investigator, a private detective, a private investigation is about trying to bring back some balance. Part of the value of an experienced investigator is actually in their advice, their logic, their experience of the courts, especially the ex-police investigators.

People can be sometimes are just unlucky, in the wrong place at the wrong time, a victim of bad judgement or petty jealousy.  Some people go to pieces when they are confronted by authority figures, some say rash things during interviews, some are set up by a partner, a 'friend', an associate or a can be real life 'fall' guys for others with a criminal bent.

A criminal offence, especially where intent or permission is an element, can exist in the complainants mind. An intent is inferred from surrounding circumstances. The way a complainant tells a 'story', selectively omitting elements, can sway the person listening to it. For matters such as rape there is such hype surrounding it the police will proceed, even if there is no supporting evidence, if the complainant will not withdraw. Whilst it is true, for a flimsy case, the investigator can submit the evidence for an opinion whether to proceed, it is 'politically' unacceptable to not believe the complainant.

The courts are part of a system designed to provide a framework, or structure, within which people live. It is part of the system that provides the 'rules' for our lives. Courts are not about JUSTICE, as a primary role, although it is in there, somewhere. The courts are bound by Legislation, guides, precedent, and case law.

The judge may know what's right, or fair, that doesn't mean he/she can rule in that way. It is a legal system, not a 'justice' system. Under our legal system everyone is entitled to a trial, and everyone is entitled to be defended. You can't believe that simply because you're innocent, you will be found not guilty.

Unfortunately it doesn't work that way. You are dealing with a legal system, not a justice system. We are there to find the evidence you need, to conduct the investigations, and compile a defence brief for your legal team to use. Criminal Law is something we 'do'.

In the criminal sense being found not guilty means that the prosecution did not reach the standard of beyond reasonable doubt. Some will not accept a person found not guilty is 'not guilty'. They will say they got away with it. Some will have a second go, as a civil action, with only requires to prove on the balance of probability, a lower standard.

We get out and find the evidence. Solicitors and lawyers concentrate on the 'theatre' of court, we concentrate on the proof. We verify the facts, we locate and preserve the evidence, we investigate for you.
