Rejected petition Reopen the Carl Bridgewater murder case

Due to a recent revealing TV documentary and the lack of a concrete alibi of any suspect in this case, it is in the public interest that this case is reopened for further investigation

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

We cannot accept your petition because reopening the Carl Bridgewater case would be an operational decision for the local police force. This is not something for which the UK Government or Parliament is responsible.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
