Since the exposure of killer Simon Hall’s actual, factual guilt to his murder of Joan Albert and the exposure of his fraudulent public relations spin campaign, most of the people and organisations who were once involved with the case and campaign (With the exception of Simon Hall’s former wife) have never publicly held their hands up and said they were wrong.
These people and organisations have never acknowledged or addressed the very real innocence fraud phenomenon as opposed to the outdated “miscarriage of justice” phenomenon, which Simon Hall’s claims of innocence and fraudulent public relations spin campaign turned out to be.
Killer Simon Hall married at the end of 2008, coincidentally to another woman named Stephanie, who he had worked with in 2002.
Stephanie (Hall) was duped by a lot of the propaganda related to the miscarriage of justice phenomenon.
Stephanie (Hall) was also naive to psychopathic personality disordered people, which made her an easy target for someone like killer Simon Hall to groom, con and exploit.
She also wasn’t aware of just how many people were prepared to lie, deceive and grift on behalf of actually, factually guilty killers like Simon Hall.
It is not known who Sandra Lean was allegedly “compelled to help” in 2002 but the About page of Sandra Lean’s online bio for her 2008 website here (and reproduced at the foot of this blog) was written by someone called P Hughes.
P Hughes stated of Sandra Lean;
Since 2002 Sandra has felt compelled to help innocent victims who have suffered a major injustice.
Without payment, she has spent thousands of hours going through evidence and trial transcripts with a fine toothed comb, helping the legal teams out with her time and expertise.
She does this because she is passionate about helping these falsely accused and wrongfully convicted people in any way she can, and because she is appalled that the British Judicial system is as flawed as it is, letting so many people down.
Retired Roy Catchpole, formerly of St Paul’s Church in Sherborne, said he didn’t understand why the victim made the accusations which have led to him facing three counts of sexual assault and one of exposure on a series of occasions between August 2013 and June 2014.
Jurors were told about the collapse of his first marriage in 1994 which was reported at the time in the national press.
Catchpole told the hearing yesterday he and his then wife became estranged over how to treat their schizophrenic son before he left the family home and started seeing another woman – a then member of his congregation – and his second wife of 17 years.
Propagandist Sandra Lean & Her First Discredited Book
Actual, factual guilty killer Simon Hall was not falsely accused, he was always guilty as charged!
And killer Simon Hall’s family members (Lynne, Phil and Shaun), and many other people chose to lie and concoct stories in an attempt to pervert the course of justice.
Many of them also committed perjury.
It is not known exactly how Sandra Lean came to be involved in killer Simon Hall’s fraudulent public relations spin campaign.
It is also not known who spoke to Sandra Lean in order for her to put together a chapter in a book she wrote and had published.

Sandra Lean claimed in her first book No Smoke on page xiii in her introduction (Read more here):
Until two years ago, I had no idea that anything was broken.
I believed in the justice system, although I knew it had its faults.
A chance meeting with someone who believed that a family member was a victim of a miscarriage of justice was to change all that.

Which suggests P Hughes claim on Sandra Lean’s About section of her website where PHughes stated “Since 2002 Sandra has felt compelled to help innocent victims” is another bare faced lie.

Sandra Lean & Stephanie Bon & The Stolen Items From Zenith Windows
Stephanie Bon
It is thought Sandra Lean came into contact with Stephanie Bon during Stephanie’s fraudulent public relations spin campaigning for actual, factual guilty killer Simon Hall.
Stephanie Bon is referred to throughout this blog series, the index for which can be found by tapping on the button below;
It is not known if Stephanie Bon ever told Sandra Lean about the stolen items from the Zenith windows burglary, which killer Simon Hall took to Stephanie’s house in Colchester on Monday the 17th of December 2001.
It is also not known if Stephanie Bon ever spoke to Sandra Lean about her relationship with Simon Hall, and of any, or all, of the details regarding the Christmas family meal in Lincolnshire.

Sandra Lean & Fraudster & Convicted Criminal Stephen T Manning
In 2007 Private Eye Magazine (Edition 1202) published an article headed Diggory Pockery which referred to Sandra Lean and Stephen T Manning. who was referred to here as ‘the evil liar”.
Fraudster and convicted criminal Stephen T Manning was named in the article by one of his many pseudonym’s Jack Havana.
Below is a copy of the Private Eye article;
Stephen T Manning stated of Sandra Lean’s first discredited book;
Sandra Lean’s NO SMOKE offers a vitally-important contribution to British social awareness.
Stephen T Manning
Already the subject of much debate within the judicial system, this book reviews seven specific real-life cases and in doing so exposes some truly shocking practices within the UK justice system.
The cases are exhaustively researched and documented in an easy-to-read contemporary style, and the conclusions presented in an articulate and professional format.
Review copies have been highly praised, and the book has already been recommended by sitting judiciary as an insightful (if rather disturbing) guide to the inner workings of British justice.
Sandra Lean’s book was not “exhaustively researched” as Stephen T Manning claimed because Sandra never had access to all the case files.
Sandra Lean did not attend any of the murder trials of any of the 7 killers she wrote about in her book.
In the case of actually, factually guilty killer Simon Hall, Sandra Lean relied on media articles and the word of liars like Stephanie Bon and the Hall family members (Lynne, Phil, Simon and Shaun).
There is also no evidence anywhere that Sandra Lean’s book was “recommended by sitting judiciary”.
This was yet another bare faced lie.
Jodi Jones killer’s mother also attempted to suggest something similar in April 2010 on an Internet forum here.
Liar Corinne Mitchell stated in part;
It also comes recommended by the c.c.r.c.!.
Sandra received an e~mail from a female saying the c.c.r.c. had recommended her book and could she get a copy.
Corinne Mitchell – 9th of April 2009
Someone contacted the CCRC (criminal cases review commission) around the same time to ask if Sandra Lean’s book had been recommended by them and their reply (Which can be read here) is reproduced in part below:
I asked:
“Could you please tell me if CCRC recommends a book named No Smoke by Sandra Lean to its clients?”
The answer to your question is no, the Commission does not recommend this book to its applicants.
Justin Hawkins
Stephanie Bon commented underneath Stephen T Manning, stating in part;
Justice 4 Simon, Justice for all
Miscarriages of justice are happening all around us, everyday, it’s fact!!
Sandra Lean eloquently explores various areas of the legal system and details a few cases amongst so many others.
The current British legal system does not allow people to maintain their innocence without paying the price:- bullying and abuse, “psychological reports” claiming an “in denial” attitude and refusal to admit guilt therefore take responsibility for their actions ending ultimately with no chances of parole.
DON’T make the mistake of thinking that you can rely on the system to put things right, you will be waiting a very long time.
Thank you Sandra for your hard work (sic)
Stephanie Bon
As stated in Part 17here manipulative killers who falsely claim to be innocent and who choose to launch fraudulent public relations spin campaigns, utilise a plethora of psychological tactics like coercive persuasion, the illusory truth effect and gaslighting to help promote their propaganda – as do many of their enablers.
It was not only the ruthless lies and deception of Joan Albert’s killer Simon Hall that allowed his innocence fraud to begin and continue on for as long as it did.
It was also because he was enabled by many other deceptive people, including charlatan and fraudster Sandra Lean.
