It is now 15 years since my last
appeal, and even though court orders were issued for complete disclosure, these
have still not been complied with by Essex police. So how do we know that a vast amount of case
material remains undisclosed? I will explain.
We have a letter dated
before the 2002 appeal from my then solicitor at Glaisyers, Ewan Smith (now an
ex-CCRC Commissioner), informing Mr Mike
Webster the Senior Operations Officer of High Security Prisons that the case files he had seen
amounted to around 4 million pages of information[i].
We also know from Michael Turner QC
that he was given access to a small warehouse which was full of boxes of case
files to look through. He was buried under a snowstorm of case material derived
and printed from the Holmes II (police) computer
system relevant to my case. Michael Turner QC’s notes show which files he had
access to pre the 2002 appeal. This has been examined in detail and thousands
of documents had been stripped out of these files in the warehouse from the
Holmes boxes numbered 1-80 whilst boxes 81-89 in their entirety were not even
disclosed to the defence and remain undisclosed to this day.
At
the close of the 2002 appeal hearing the CPS stated in court that they had
still not reviewed all of the case material and that they would hand this to
Michael Turner QC to look through. The appeal judges stated that if Mr Turner
discovered any material to assist the defence case then he could return with
this evidence that they would then consider.
What
the judges and Michael Turner QC did not know was that he was handed just
340,000 pages of the 3½ - 4 million pages of documentation. As PII (Public
Interest Immunity) was still involved in the case at that time, it wasn’t until
the rules changed in 2006 that this could be disclosed and I was then given all
the material held by Michael Turner QC in 2011. My campaign team then scanned
every last page of these documents. These were subjected to a meticulous
initial review of the material using a laptop computer by the campaign and also
every night by me which took almost 3 years to complete. It has taken a further
3 years to properly cross-reference these papers to find the hidden case truths
with more still being uncovered frequently.
In
Las Vegas the casinos use huge amounts of playing cards playing Blackjack (21)
or Texas hold 'em (poker). To defeat cheating by card counting they use ten or
twenty packs of cards at a time, shuffled up and placed in a cardholder called
a shoe. At any one time Las Vegas casinos may be using around two million
playing cards, or half the numbers of papers in my case.
Importantly
the Metropolitan Police had authority over the Holmes account pertinent to my
case and what they did when allowing access to the case files to Michael Turner
QC was to strip out all the Aces, Kings, Queens and Jacks that would have
assisted the defence case, and presented instead the falsified and manipulated
evidence to the prosecutor Victor Temple QC who then handed this to the court
and the defence lawyers. Effectively it was the same as if all of the Aces,
Kings, Queens and Jacks were stripped from these decks of cards in a casino
with the dealers keeping their dodgy Aces up their sleeves to use when they
wanted to in order to win.
Essex
police, assisted by the Metropolitan Police, just as a casino would know if the
cards being dealt had been tampered with, knew that the 2002 appeal court were
conducting a sham appeal owing to the fact key documents which showed my
innocence had been removed from the disclosed material. In effect all cards
being dealt to the prosecution contained all of the Aces and most of the Kings,
Queens and Jacks – a sham. Yet who in that 2002 appeal courtroom knew that the
appeal hearing was a farce based upon a lie that only one silencer featured in
this case?
Essex
police swear that there was only one silencer, like a casino swearing there was
only one shoe of cards at a table, but 32 years later it turns out Essex police
were lying. Of course the silencer that was DNA tested in 2000/2001 did not
have Sheila’s DNA in it, because her blood groups matched beneficiary Robert
Boutflour’s group which is why he never gave a DNA sample, nor was he asked to
give one. So, you must ask yourself: "why not?" An unknown male DNA
was discovered in the silencer during the DNA testing for the appeal and yet
Robert Boutflour was never eliminated and no questions were asked. Very odd! The
lie being told to the appeal court by Essex Police/Metropolitan Police was
convenient for the Criminal Justice System as it allowed my 2002 appeal to be
dismissed.
It
was no wonder that no one found out in 2002 that my appeal hearing was a total sham.
The evidence for this was buried amongst the 340,000 pages of disclosed documents
and has only been exposed in the last couple of years.
Still
missing are 77 photographs many that feature two silencers. Also missing are
Sheila’s medical records, the complete forensic files and the deals made with
witnesses for immunity from prosecution in return for their testimony against me.
The
CPS/DPP/Essex Police should now disclose all the further information from my
case as ordered to do by the court, however doing that is probably going to
implicate them in knowingly prosecuting an innocent man. Whether they do
disclose further documents, photographs, audio recordings of events from this
case it does not actually matter to proving my innocence, we can do that
already although it would assist greatly and may reveal even more truths. From
the small percentage of the 4 million case documents we have had disclosed, Essex
police slipped up and included a few of the Jacks, Queens, Kings and Aces and
owing to this the truth of the case is now known, but to have the complete
truth is the goal. The fact is that my conviction still stands even though Essex
police built their case against me based on now provable lies and cover-ups.
In
Vegas when they discover someone cheating there would be consequences. It is
hoped that now we know that Essex police have cheated they will all face investigation.
It is possible though more of the judicial authorities have known about this
except me and that they have just turned a blind eye to how I was convicted,
because to concede that my case was and is a miscarriage of justice brings the
whole legal system into disrepute, and that it seems cannot be allowed to
happen.

[i] The
Appeal itself is very substantial and could take up to 6 weeks to be heard, and
a conservative
estimate puts the number of pieces of paper at some 4
million, and both Junior Counsel and ourselves have
been working fairly extensively examining all the
disclosed paperwork.
