presumption of innocence?

Angus, you seem to be missing the very basic point which others have explained eloquently - that fantasy is not relevant. It can hardly constitute "lying" to not mention it in a court process.
I understand your point about pragmatic decisions about prosecution, but this has not been described as a general matter of truthfulness, rather of a (false) equivalence between fantasy and actuality - which you're perpetuating here. Only tired stereotypes make that anything to do with credibility, and it seems they're alive and well on the English bench.
Unless you have some new evidence to present, I'd say you've said more than enough, wouldn't you?

I'd agree. Patrick Strange didn't have an easy time of it last night, for instance. The format seems to encourage interjection and jousting from the interviewer, though at least John Banks' errors were picked up. Fancy not knowing how long someone had been in the job when you're complaining loudly about historic performance and changes that take ages to see through.
