http://extradition.org.uk Ceveland Police Left out Vital Evidence in this murder case, but this is not unusual for Cleveland Police who have been getting away with Corruption for many years. Even the local news is afraid to point the blame at them.

Suzanne Holdsworth claimed Kyle had suffered a fit
A babysitter found guilty of murdering her neighbour's two-year-old son has been released from prison after her conviction was ruled unsafe.

Lawyers for Suzanne Holdsworth, 37, had argued that new evidence showed she was the victim of a miscarriage of justice over the death of Kyle Fisher in 2005.

The Court of Appeal was told Kyle's brain had abnormalities which predisposed him to epilepsy.

Ms Holdsworth, of Hartlepool, Teesside was granted bail ahead of a retrial.

The former supermarket worker was accused of having repeatedly banged the boy's head against a banister in her home after having "snapped" while looking after the child whose 19-year-old mother was on a night out.


She consistently denied injuring Kyle and claimed he had suffered a fit as they sat watching television.

In a statement her family said they were "ecstatic at today's news" and described it as "wonderful".

Kyle Fisher's brain predisposed him to epilepsy, the court heard

They said they were "looking forward to the retrial" which they hoped would "prove this case to be a miscarriage of justice".

Outside court Ms Holdsworth's solicitor, Campbell Malone, said bail had been granted with conditions.

Lord Justice Toulson quashing the conviction, said that having evaluated the oral evidence "we do not consider that we can safely dismiss the medical scenario advanced on the applicant's behalf".

A jury at Teeside Crown Court found Ms Holdsworth guilty of murder in 2005. She was jailed for life and told she would have to serve at least 10 years before applying for parole.

'Unusual brain'

At Thursday's hearing, Lord Toulson said it was the court's view that if the fresh medical evidence had been given at her trial it might reasonably have affected the jury's decision to convict.

He said the conviction "must be judged unsafe".

Suzanne Holdsworth's partner said she was innocent.

Henry Blaxland QC, for Ms Holdsworth, said doctors at her trial had "failed to diagnose" that Kyle had a "highly unusual brain" which indicated three abnormalities, two of which predisposed him to epilepsy.

Commenting on the court's decision, her solicitor said: "I think she was crying, but she said she was very happy. She was just overwhelmed with emotion."

Ms Holdsworth's boyfriend, Lee Spencer, said he had never doubted her innocence and was delighted at the verdict.

"It's something we've said all along, that it's been a grave miscarriage of justice, pre-trial, the original trial, she was innocent, and she's still the same innocent woman today, as proven in court.

"But let's not forget what this is about - we can be happy and chuffed to bits that the court has listened to new evidence - but a child is still dead," he said.

Ms Holdsworth was freed from Low Newton prison in County Durham , where she has served three years of a life sentence.

In a statement released by Cleveland Police, Kyle's family said: "All we have ever wanted was to know the truth about what happened to Kyle.

"Since his death our lives have focused around the case - not one of us has been able to move on.

"Today's decision has brought all the heartache back, however we will fully cooperate in the preparation for the retrial."

  • boro pigs bent as fuck

    die the cranks

  • TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN

    Cleveland Police in the UK arrested my son on a trumped up drugs charge. They pick easy targets.

    They do this to achieve:

    1. meet shift "targets" set by management

    2. to get out of the "front line" while they process so called offenders.

    Never thought I would witness this in the UK.

  • Cleveland Police bent F*ckers. Turn yourselves in before your arrested.

  • I am so pleased for this lady and her family. I live in Hartlepool and I don't think anyone believed she did this. I dont know this lady but Iam over the moon for her and I think she shouls be compensated be the idiots who messed up the initial investigation. I WISH YOU ALL THE HAPPINESS SUZANNE

  • Jesus, this woman was jailed for doing nothing and the police won;t appologise?? This country is an utter joke and it's public sector workers forget who they work for.

    The turmoil and misery this women went through must have been unimaginable. Too easy to point the blame and accuse someone. Wonder how many others are in jail because they are poor and have no good representation.

    Cleveland Police sound a right bunch of inefficient as$holes.

  • The case of Suzanne Holdsworth is a shocking miscarriage of justice. An innocent woman incarcerated for 3 years - how could the jury convict ? - beyond belief. As for the Cleveland police and all those directly involved in the pathological obsession to secure a conviction against the poor woman, they should be ashamed of themselves. They are a disgrace. It is time the police had a good look at themselves in the mirror if they want a little respect. Makes you wonder who the thugs are?

  • The case of Suzanne Holdsworth is such a shocking miscarriage of justice that all those involved from Cleveland police in their pathological obsession to get a conviction for the accused should be sacked. They are an absolute disgrace and the police in this country need to take a good hard look themselves before they will be able to command

    a slither of respect from the community.

    Makes you wonder who the thugs are.
