Hi,
Not long got back from the Royal Courts of Justice for the Directions hearing.
It was a huge step in the right direction, firstly, as it wasn’t thrown out!
We were granted funding for a QC and we can get nearly half a dozen experts to assist.
The most importantl thing though is that an expert has come forward and volunteered his professional opinion that actually something else may have caused little Maeve’s untimely death.
This is not only good news for our fight to free Keran, but it may also help to find out what really happened to Maeve.
The only down side was we have to wait until November and then into January 2009. Which means Keran will be nearly out having served her sentence!
We will need to tighten our belts again and knuckle down to more work fighting these injustices.
It was nice to be back at the Royal Courts having done some work there and I actually saw some of the staff I had worked with. It is such a lovely building and if you like Victorian architecture it’s worth a visit. I got the feeling though that people working here had got used to it.
Back to the case though, it is upsetting to think of her an innocent woman and our two sons not being together for another Christmas and all the other family events etc., but we will keep fighting. The tunnel team report good progress on Plan B, but the estimated completion date is 2012!! (about ten past eight).
I know it sounds like I whinge that it takes so long, but in reality I am fully aware of how in legal terms how quick it has been for us. Some people are actually out of prison and still waiting to get a directions hearing to start clearing their names!
Every minute she is away is a minute more of shame on ‘experts’ like Risdon, Elsdon, Richards, Stoodley et al. Not that they worry too much I shouldn’t think.
Justice will be done. The judges had a link between us and another case today in the court. So many miscarriages so little court time!
Take care, message soon from Keran on the web site.
