Giving court evidence under your cover identity?

http://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2014 ... im-boyling

I get why that's preferable to the police, but how the hell could you ever get a fair trial? No wonder they don't want to reveal why the conviction was quashed, they'd probably have to look at every other case where this happened.

And have the police no better cases to use undercover officers for?

Re: Giving court evidence under your cover identity?


	Quote: The conviction of an environmental campaigner, John Jordan, for assaulting a police officer is to be overturned after it was revealed that one of his co-defendants was an undercover policeman who allegedly gave false evidence on oath during his prosecution.

Shouldn't he be charged with perjury and perverting the course of justice?
