On the dawn of this New Year I would
like to share with you how I am looking forward to the future with anticipation
and excitement. Firstly I do believe that I have a future that is not cell
shaped with a steel door and bars on the window, although “Stone walls a prison do not
make, nor iron bars a cage”, it’s that I actually feel that now we have finally
uncovered the corruption within Essex Police, my 10:2 conviction will be
overturned.
Now I can look forward to exposing
all this. Not from jail – my conviction will be overturned before the whole
truth is told and I look forward to being able to share my experience with the
world. I hope that what I have to say is something that other people might want
to listen to, not so much my story but how we managed to navigate our way to
the truth and freedom.
The outside world has changed a lot in
thirty years but not so much that I won’t be able to do all those normal things
everyone else does every day. The only difference will be my enjoyment at doing
all those routine things, from buying a coffee at Starbucks to sending an e-mail
to a mate or organising having lunch somewhere. I’m simply looking forward to
being given back my ability to choose to do it or not to do it, on all the
everyday things that I’m sure everyone simply takes for granted – but within
prison are denied to us.
This is the first time that I do
actually feel positive about my freedom being a reality and that knowledge
makes this New Year one I can enjoy.
Happy New Year
Jeremy
