My mate drove to manchester to commit an armed robbery. He'd never been caught or convicted of any previous crime although he was a professional armed robber. The operation was a sting from start to finish. He, I and others in the knowledge are convinced the police planned to murder them rather than capture them. (Ever seen a dead armed robber on the deck shot by the police? It happens, far easier to solve that way too). A lone unplanned witness fouled things for the police who then had no absolute case as the place they went to rob never existed.
3 loaded handguns, balaclavas etc in the car sealed his fate and the fate of others and he received 19 years for conspiracy to murder and rob. He spent 13 years 5 months banged up as a "Category A dispersal" prisoner. He was returned to the streets a heroin addict after his *spit* rehabillitation.
Good question, who are the real criminals?
