Sarah Bowles said although they were excited to have her out of prison, “it wasn’t the outcome we’d hoped for. This has renewed our energy, having mum out to clear her name, overturn the miscarriage of justice, and seek justice for Bob’s memory as well,” she said.
“I think one of my main goals will be to see what can be done to improve her health now that we’re outside of the prison system.”
Rosie Crumpton Crooke, president of the Neill-Fraser Support Group, said it took a lot of persuading for her to relent and apply for parole.
“Sue always said she would not accept parole, that she wanted to come out of prison exonerated and as a free woman,” she said. “She took a lot of persuading to take parole. We have given her our solemn, sincere undertaking that we won’t give up.
“If she was concerned that if she left prison people would forget about her, she needn’t be concerned about that. We would never forget about her, we would never stop fighting and that was certainly the message I was giving to her when she was considering whether or not to take parole.”
At wrongfulconvictionsreport, we too, will continue to shine the spotlight on this egregious miscarriage of justice, brought about by a criminal justice system that has defied the rule of law in pursuing her."

FINAL WORD: (Applicable to all of our wrongful conviction cases): "Whenever there is a wrongful conviction, it exposes errors in our criminal legal system, and we hope that this case — and lessons from it — can prevent future injustices."
Lawyer Radha Natarajan:
Executive Director: New England Innocence Project;

FINAL, FINAL WORD: "Since its inception, the Innocence Project has pushed the criminal legal system to confront and correct the laws and policies that cause and contribute to wrongful convictions. They never shied away from the hard cases — the ones involving eyewitness identifications, confessions, and bite marks. Instead, in the course of presenting scientific evidence of innocence, they've exposed the unreliability of evidence that was, for centuries, deemed untouchable." So true!
Christina Swarns: Executive Director: The Innocence Project;
