On December 2006, my son, Ricky Percival, who was then 25 years old, was sentenced to four life sentences with a minimum of tariff of 28 years for a string of crimes he did not commit. It was completely based on evidence that didn't exist. The false charges include; the murder of Dean Boshell; attempted murder of three members of the Tretton Family; possession of a firearm, robbery, and perverting the course of justice. The conviction is based a statement from Damon Alvin, the original prime suspect in this murder enquiry.
My son is eleven years into his 28 year sentence, and in June 2010 had an appeal turned down by the High Court of Appeal. It is now in the hands of the Criminal Cases Review Commission which is our only hope. This can take years to finalise.
The prospect of not seeing my son outside of prison again frightens me. We are all living a life sentence, the whole trial was a farce, and all I have asked for since the trial is for a fair trial as no fair juror could see my son as guilty. None of the evidence against Ricky is credible, there are lots of accounts and not a single bit of solid evidence. My son is in a prison cell for the most awful crimes imaginable which everyone knows he did not do, and my family has to somehow carry on living day to day with this void and terrible injustice over our heads twenty four hours a day.
I will not give up until Ricky receives a fair trial as my son is not a murderer.
Yours sincerely
Sandy Percival
The evidence used to convict Ricky came from someone who has previously admitted to lying in court.
We, the undersigned, call on the Government and the Justice System to allow Ricky to have a fair trial.
