Desperately needing legal advice

Impossible to make any comment w/o knowing the whole story. I know about various similar cases, and there is little or nothing you can do. Did your defending attorney not appeal and why?

In 1973 a man was charged with murder though the weapon was never found. The police presented an artifice as evidence, and when the Judge asked "Was this used for committing the crime?" the state attorney would anser "No, but it looks appropriate". In an another case known as "caso Wanninkof", a lady  spent 519 days behind bars having nothing to do with the crime.

Did you contact the British diplomatic authorities? 

I’m so sorry I can’t help you with any legal advice - I can only say I believe you and you are being wrongly treated - this kind of treatment by the police is not uncommon in Spain they have too many friends and family in the areas they work in. I am hoping they are just putting the frighteners on you - that is also quite common! I wish you luck and if the forum would like to start a petition I would willingly sign.

A petition  will not make any much sense. Again, impossible to imagine what is all behind the story.and, consquently what could be done. The sentence would be most interesting to find out appeal possibilities. Time is against him. So sorry, but these are the facts. Spanish prisons are overcrowded 160% and the Direccion General de Instituciones Penitenciarios advised a few years ago that they "cannot grant the phusical integrity of the inmates" -. someting totally impropriate for a civilized country.

Anyway, if he's behind bars, how can he write in this forum?

Well thank you for such helpful comments. On the basis my username is spoongirl one might assume i identify as female and as the courts are closed until september there is no warrent as of yet, but everytime i see a police car slowing down if they drive past me yes I am terrified, so does thar satisfy your curiousity....and negativity?

Thank you so much just for such a supportive reply

My advice is in two parts, firstly what not to do.

Don't become a fugitive from justice as this will only make things worse. Don't attemp to contact your accusor or complain about the police.

Do go to The British Consul in Alicante as soon as possible and look on line for expat charities offering legal assistance and other services. You may find that The British Legion can help, you don't have to be ex services to receive their assistance.

Thanks for advice. Don't worry...becoming a fugitive is not in my plans...I have 3 dogs...one 15 years old and the other two just a year old and no driving licence. Plus I wouldn't know where to go and my house was going on the market so I could repay the money my mum has had to lend my for this disaster purchase. So going on the run not an option but thank you for telling me about thr British legion etc. I have until 5 September to hand myself In but I wasin the process of getting my dual citizenship for canada as my dad is canadian and had been offered the chance to study as a mature student...ironically criminal law lol...but even if I dont end up in jail there is now a criminal record for me so that kind of ruins that future. Ive been diagnosed with ptsd because the treatment and violence used by the police over the two nights and days triggered it again and im jumpy all the time and constantly burst into tears no matter where I am. I am back on antidepressants after being so proud of coming off them after years taking a cocktail of stuff and I have no intention of going to jail or putting my babies up for adoption. I just hope the guy that lied in front of that judge can live with himself for doing this to somebody he doesnt even know once im gone
