JUSTICE CAMPAIGN
We are consistently advised to explore all available legal avenues before embarking on a public campaign. However, in light of the ongoing abuse of our silence, which includes the fabrication of new evidence against an innocent individual and retribution for exercising his right to appeal, we firmly believe that an immediate public campaign is warranted in the case of Joseph Maxwell Spencer. We are resolute that, regardless of the challenges we face, we will not let this case fade away until all the false narratives surrounding it have been dispelled.
Joseph Maxwell Spencer was convicted of sexual offence against his partner at the Bradford Crown Court (UK). However, his conviction was based solely on the opinion narratives of the Police and the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS), as no victim allegation was made. It is important to note that Joseph had no previous criminal record.
Disappointed by the performance of his trial legal representatives, Joseph took the decision to represent himself during his appeal case. Unfortunately, his attempts to appeal while in prison were met with sabotage, as his court papers were intercepted and destroyed by the prison services. It was only through the intervention of the Prison Ombudsman that he was able to regain access to some of the evidence for his appeal.
Despite his successful application to the Appeal Court, the undue influence of his prosecutors persisted. The Appeal Court’s office’s summary submission was biased in favour of the prosecution, suggesting that Joseph misunderstood the alleged police falsification of evidence during his trial. When Joseph raised his concerns with the appeal court office, he was advised to take his case to the CCRC (Criminal Cases Review Commission).
In 2020, Joseph was released from prison, but he was left physically disabled and reliant on a wheelchair. His sensory disability, worsened by his time in prison, developed into a life-threatening condition. Shockingly, the prison services responded to his Equality Act request by stating that the prison buildings lacked the necessary accommodations for prisoners with sensory disabilities to mitigate the impact of daily noise.
Consequently, Joseph was forced to endure an extremely noisy prison environment, resulting in frequent comas and episodes of compulsive shouting. Joseph Spencer is now part of the global Innocence Project, which advocates for the rights of those wrongfully convicted. We appeal for your support and readiness to assist us in launching a campaign.
We have been advised not to initiate a petition at this stage, as the matters being complained can still go back to court through the CCRC. Moreover, we are witnessing corrupt practices being carried out against Joseph during the process of appealing the sexual harm prevention order imposed on him. Our campaign for Joseph Spencer aims to have his conviction overturned and to enable him and his partner to move forward with their lives in peace.
No individual should be convicted, tortured, deprived, disabled, and labelled a criminal based solely on the opinions of others.
