The news finally reached us that the convictions are being overturned and these men are coming home. It has been a long and draining road to reach this point. We still need to keep a close eye on the court proceedings to ensure everything is finalized properly.

Justice for the wrongly imprisoned fathers. Ben Keen, Tomas Willoughby and Cory Hynd were all sentenced to 6 and a half years each and Ben 7 and half for a BRAWL including 15 people fighting outside the Torridge vale club in Great Torrington, why were only three picked out of the 15? i know you people must think, there must have been some hard evidence for a judge to convict them and sentence them to such a harsh sentence? The answer is simply no! There were no fibers or DNA on any of the clothes, there were only 2 witness, 1 of which the statement was thrown out because it made no sense and the other key witness was the alleged "victims" niece. The off duty policemen on the night was also his nephew, coincidence? The leading officer on the case was also a very good friend of the "victim's" and also plays cricket with him. The CCTV footage was in the boys favor and even shows Tomas Willoughby crawling along the floor where he was hit. What hard evidence was there to send these boys down? Its not what you know, its who you know. It was all corrupt right from the start. Ben was also having his head smashed against the wall during the massive riot; why hasn't anyone been done for that?

Reaching this point in our campaign has been an exhausting but necessary reminder that so many of you see the truth hidden behind this injustice. I am drained by the fight, yet seeing this level of public attention gives me the resolve to keep pursuing the facts that were ignored in court.

So wrong on so many levels. How the hell has justice been done ?? No substantial evidence. ..cctv you could hardly see and no dna found on clothing. Someone somewhere has lied and taken away these lads freedom. Criminal injustice
Ben keen is my cousin & he would never hurt anyone hes a lovely kind young man ive never known him to be violent it seems hes being used as a scapegoat as there was no sufficent evidence that ben assulted that gentleman...free ben keen
These 3 working family lads have been used as an example & passed an overly harsh sentence. Similar incidents, & worse, have recieved far lesser penalty. ALL involved should be penalised & the 3 sentences reviewed
I have known Ben for about 15 years, he is the softest bloke you could meet with the biggest heart. He has worked with me for the last 10 years. Whoever I need help he is always the one who says yes. He's a star. My kids love him to bits. Whenever your having a bad day you can garentee Ben will make you SMILE
Police officer stands in court and says if they had kicked or stamped there would be DNA or fibres on clothing & shoes but no all clear so where's the justice we need these lads home now x
All 3 of them are deacent lads Its a joke that they got slammed it was a pub fight and they are been picked put for no reason its a joke
hope my signature helps :)
