so you have this interview, under caution, on tape.. two tapes - fucking awesome, fair play etc etc.......

on the way back to your cell, a coppers says - "thanks for admiting it" said copper then makes a written statement.......

bollocks.
 
You know that bit where they say you don't have to say anything? Stick with that.

The crap about failing to mention something you may later rely on is exactly that - Crap! They have to disprove it.

really...

all you need is a deaf bench..... magistrate with a hearing impediment.....

and moving on. :eek:

the 'the accused kept his gob shut during interview M'Lud / Chair of the bench' defence is marginally worse than 'he went no comment M'lud, there by implying that he is guilty M'lud, as guilty as the darkest sin committed on a moonless night, personally M'Lud, cool hair do by the way, I'd hang the bastard' yeah right. Do you do legal aid work by any chance?
 
They could try it. A good brief would get the case thrown out on that alone.

disprove which bit? the bit where they allege that off tape you coughed to it?

Define a good brief, excluding the pound signs in its eyes.

It's inadmissible. Grounds for dismissal on appeal if nothing else.

point taken......

now back to the real world......

I have a suggestion, lets just move on, having accepted that the law, lawyers and the entire concept is bent and based around money.

justice is blind, and to ensure that the concept holds true - leave no witnesses.
 
Most chambers do at least some pro bono. Not bad when you can get a grand an hour silk on your side for fuck all.

I couldn't give a fuck if they like the music of U2 and support band aid or not!

Silk? aka QC? aka Queer Cunt. a grand an hour? you ever been to court in the north west?
 
I'm waiting for my criminal defence solicitor to get out of jail. He should be free (but tagged) next weekend.

His offence? Defending himself against assault by drunken off-duty Police Community Support Officers. He only hit one of them once but since he's built like a brick shithouse, his one punch broke his opponent's jaw.

The PCSOs lied in court and despite the video evidence my solicitor went to jail.

PS. He's black, six foot five tall, weighs 260 lbs, and trains daily. He's been training hard in jail. Next time he might punch the judge instead.

No! your solicitor went to jail for committing perjury by suggesting that an officer of the law may well be a lying fucker. That in itself is a prisonable offence. He should have just pleaded guilty and gone for maximum tarrif reduction.

By the time you get to court you have had time to get a brief and sort out what happened. Supposedly it takes about 72 hours for you to sort out in your own mind what happened.
