Hi,
Had a quick run through. The brief version seems to be
Keran lovely person.
Lots of CPS experts mentioned…ours not rated. For ‘new experts’ to become accepted you have to wait for the CPS ones to die? Dr Leesthma has been around for years, still not long enough to impress. In my view he was much more interesting than the others (aren’t the judges meant to put themselves in the place of the jurors, I bet they may have thought differently if they had seen more).
The Jurors got a mention the Appeal court lay the decision on Keran being a nasty piece of work to them. Not the fact the likes of certain experts can say it and sew the seeds.
I like the line (word to effect) Keran chose not to do certain things at trial - funny I remember her being advised, funny how these things never seem to work out, but its the appelants fault….I did like the making Keran sign for one decision ’she’ made…hmmm, some people really should have apologised, or helped rectify what did and didn’t happen.
And finally
Paperwork came in nice coloured folders.
The End
Iain’s summing up
Why can’t we look more closely at certain witness statements? Stuff expert ones that’s just an unproven theory…
Why can’t we look at the statements of the witnesses of the people present at the time of the alleged incidents - oh yes cos they were NEVER taken. She wasn’t alone with Maeve, but NOBODY took the statements….imagine if they said there was nothing wrong, no shaking heavy or light had ever taken place? Blimey…my wife wouldn’t have gone to prison.
Why can’t we ask the witness who came off the stand and said ‘oh my God I have blown it, I need to change my story’. The truth is the truth a story is….exactly that.
Why are certain experts okay? Stoodley wasn’t okay in the Ben Butler case, but he is in ours? Wonder how Mr Stoodley feels I do recall he slated other experts for not being current - what was it they said about you…
When are people going to realise that certain experts have been a bit wide of the mark, may not be trained, may say different things in different cases…not long
What about the fact Maeve had been ill for a long time, way before Keran looked after her, even Maeve’s Gran said that on the stand (re illness) before being whisked off.
What happened to innocent until proven guilty, once the experts said it was suspicious the Police looked no where else. Its a highly dodgy debate, why rely on that alone. Look at ‘other’ statements.
Why didn’t the experts SEEK clarification of what Keran had meant by ‘whizzing’. Assume = ass u me, thats exactly what they have done. By not checking they have assumed, so arrogant they didn’t ask. What happened to investigations?
Why didn’t they mention a serving Police Officer helped revive Maeve on the second collapse?
Why wasn’t questions asked about Maeves routine being different the night before she was brought to our home for the last time?
Something still stinks, but all those that have been responsible, from poor investigations or none, to poor avice or no advice, to stitching up, to those who know more - yet say nothing (allowing my children to be abused) I am sure you can sleep safe knowing that you have sent lots of people to prison and had their kids taken away, or just a woman who did the right thing in her community and her children.
What she did, she did for free, never took pieces of silver for her efforts (excluding the childminding). Some of you could learn a bit from her. She is so much stronger than you, she has grown, she has still stayed true to herself on the whole and helped some of the other women in prison where she could. Given the choice a CPS expert or a convicted prisoner, I would take the prisoner everytime, you can trust the girls more.
I do Archery by the way not Fencing, sorry that should read Fence sitting. I intend to launch a few arrows off very soon. I intend not to miss. I missed the point with the court of appeal, won’t make the mistake again, if you can’t/won’t correct the mistakes/omissions. Then theres not much point.
I can really understand and empathise with those who take the law into their own hands the system encourages it as the system is so unfair, slow, corrupt (protect our own), unfair…yeah I know it’s twice, but it has been two bites and it still doesn’t clear it up.
If you want a theory, and I am not an expert, but the more vocal the appeal, the more you have to wait, the quieter, the easier it is to allow it through as no one will notice, so there won’t be more appeals on the back of it.
Hmmm
Problem is the Emperor is still being allowed to prance about in his ‘new clothes’.
I will still be there though shouting theres nothing to his ‘clothing’ until the rest of you catch up…
