A bogus forensic psychologist who supplied evidence in hundreds of court cases over almost 30 years has been convicted on 20 charges.
Gene Morrison, 48, who left school with no qualifications, was described in court as a charlatan who had tricked judges, lawyers and police.
His firm's website - bearing the motto Exposing unrighteousness for the sake of righteousness - claimed he had more than 20 years experience.
Morrison admitted to police he began working as a forensic investigator in 1977 after buying certificates by post for a BSc in Forensic Science, a Masters with excellence in Forensic Investigation and a Doctorate in Criminology.
Despite this, during his trial he insisted on being called Dr Morrison.
About 700 cases he worked on will now have to be re-assessed, Manchester's Minshull Street Crown Court was told.
Morrison, of Martin Street, Hyde, was told a jail sentence was inevitable.
