Brain-damaged Oliver Campbell ‘incapable of defending himself’ from 1990 murder claim | UK | News

Published by skeptic

The murder conviction of a brain-damaged youth for shooting dead a shopkeeper in 1990 should be quashed because his vulnerabilities meant he could not properly defend himself, a court has been told. Rose Slowe KC told the Court of Appeal that Oliver Campbell had faced a “monumental task in an alien process, without any of the protections available today” to rebut the accusations made against him at his trial. Campbell, now 53, was sentenced to life imprisonment in 1991 after being found guilty by a jury at the Old Bailey for the murder of Baldev Hoondle at Hackney’s G and H Supermarket.  He confessed to the crime under what his lawyers have described as “bullying” Metropolitan Police questioning, but retracted his admission later. But Ms Slowe, representing the Criminal Cases Review Commission (CCRC), told an appeal against his 33-year-old conviction: “If Oliver came before the court today, he would have a totally different experience to that of his trial in 1991.” Campbell, who was nearly 20 when he was arrested, has severe learning difficulties following …

Oliver Campbell: Brain-damaged man ‘bullied’ by police into falsely confessing to murder, court hears | UK News

There is a “high risk” that a man with learning difficulties was manipulated into falsely confessing to the murder of a shopkeeper, the Court of Appeal has heard. Oliver Campbell, who suffered brain damage as a baby, was “badgered and bullied” by police into admitting to the killing in 1990, his lawyers said. Murder victim Baldev Hoondle was shot in the back of the head as he struggled with one of two robbers at his off-licence in Hackney, east London. After being interviewed by police without a lawyer, Campbell was jailed for life in 1991 for murder and robbery, and was released on licence in 2002. The 53-year-old, who continues to live under restrictions that mean he needs permission to get a job and is prevented from travelling abroad, is now appealing against his conviction. It comes after Campbell told Sky News’ Martin Brunt that he was “under duress” when he admitted to the murder.

An “easily manipulated” brain-damaged youth jailed for shooting dead a shopkeeper in a robbery in 1990 was pressured by Metropolitan Police detectives into falsely confessing to the murder, a court has been told. In what some believe to be the longest-ever miscarriage of justice in British history, Oliver Campbell, now 53, was found guilty during a trial in 1991 of killing Baldev Hoondle during the raid by two people at a London off-licence. On Wednesday, 33 years after he was convicted alongside co-defendant Eric Samuels, the Court of Appeal was told there was a “combination of facts so compelling that they prove Oliver can’t have been the gunman”. Opening the case after spending more than 20 years fighting for it to be referred for appeal, Michael Birnbaum QC said there had been a “slowly building crescendo of concern that Oliver might have confessed falsely”. Suspicion fell upon Campbell, nearly 20 at the time, after his distinctive black British Knights cap – which was worn by the gunman – was found in an alleyway near Hackney’s …

A brain-damaged man jailed for life as a teenager will tell the appeal court today he was pressed by police into making a false murder confession. Troubled Oliver Campbell, now 53, was interviewed without a lawyer after his arrest for a fatal shooting during an off-licence robbery in 1990. He was convicted of murder and robbery, while a friend, Eric Samuels, was found guilty of just the robbery. Campbell’s lawyers claim his trial jury was not told the full extent of his mental health issues, nor did it hear evidence that another man had been named as the gunman. On the eve of his appeal Campbell, who is free on licence, said: “If I win the choke chain that’s been around my neck for 33 years will come off, but I’m not free yet. “I’m still a prisoner of the criminal justice system, still under the Home Office because they can recall me to prison any time.” Image: Baldev Hoondle was shot in the back of the head in his east London shop Pic: Metropolitan …
