Ryans last par...<i>AnonymousJan 21, 2012 09:18 AM<br /><br /> Ryans last paragraph above in essence summarises why in a few cases non jury courts are required.</i><br /><br />I must take you to task regarding your hype about why a jury must be removed in order to convict certain individuals. A Suspect is usually brought to trial because the police and prosecutors—respected representatives of the<br />authority of the state—believe that that person is guilty or probably guilty; that alone is difficult to surmount and my own history is testimony to that fact. Diplock Courts then provision for an unchallengable adverse inference being drawn against any accused (before they even get to trial) that they pose a threat to a jury and thus it must be removed. Recovery from that moment onward becomes almost impossible.<br /><br />It matters nothing that neither Lord Diplock, and later Lord Gardiner, ever found any evidence of a single jury having been threatened --a fact that is usually kept out of your narrative of due process requirements.<br /><br />It could be said that Colin Duffy is NI Claus Von Bulow, an innocent man but dis-likeable.<br /><br />Some 22 years later I am still trying to clear my own name. David Ford has hindered my access to a legal representation and only since 5 January 2012 was I granted legal aid to assist in my current legal battles. With a Court hearing set for this 24th January he did his best to obstruct my access to justice.<br /><br />The only argument that David Ford has submitted in opposition to the above arguments, I quote, <b><i>"If Walsh's application succeeds it may gain a higher profile and raise questions over other convictions."</i></b> David Ford has since foolishly declined the Court's invitation for him to submit another affidavit and the time line has now expired.<br /><br />The Court has confirmed with my lawyers that it will hear in FULL, on 24th January, against Ford on the following arguable issues,<br /> <br />1) Administrative Practice of direct State sanction or tolerance to PPS criminal conduct.<br />2) Usurpation of the role of the judiciary<br />3) violation of my Article 6 ECHR rights<br />4) other subsidiary issues<br /><br /><br />Christy Walsh<br />www.christywalsh.comChristy Walshhttp://www.christywalsh.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5965333981619997978.post-39475758044114279512012-01-22T00:33:32.077+00:002012-01-22T00:33:32.077+00:00I discussed this with my wife, would you like to b...I discussed this with my wife, would you like to be called up for jury duty, and learn this was the trial you were called up for.

Is this as close as you come Jude to suggesting that he is as guilty as hell?<br /><br /><br />I'm guessing that a jury has been dispensed with on these because its not about them 'fighting for innocence' its getting to the jurors before they make a decision and impressing on them that their man is innocent, and if he isnt innocent... well there would be consequences..Ryanm29https://www.blogger.com/profile/07066378398450284909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5965333981619997978.post-23048076655231038672012-01-21T13:09:36.865+00:002012-01-21T13:09:36.865+00:00That is the most balanced piece I have read on thi...That is the most balanced piece I have read on this case!Christy Walshhttp://www.christywalsh.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5965333981619997978.post-32859048768682098862012-01-21T13:03:53.912+00:002012-01-21T13:03:53.912+00:00You badly need a spell checker.
