thanks for sharing. That is horrific isn't it, all to pad out a barrister's career!coneye wrote: ↑29 Sep 2023, 22:49 You know in a lot of these cases its 100% the police at fault , Without going into too much detail long story , i put someone on too a lawyer , the case got draged and dragged , to a high court , because instead of giving in and pleading guilty he never,, he fought it , a guilty plea would of meant a conviction recorded and cost him his job.
Anyway on court day , the head /chief prosecutor whatever he's called , took over the case , offered virtually nothing , he got a bollocking of the judge for wasting courts time , , the lawyer , jumped up and asked for costs , and a reimbursment of costs , all awarded , with a telling off to the prosecutor ,
Anyway i was on first term names with the lawyer , and after i said to him its crazy , why did they take it so far , , he said to me , simple hrs in court , explain i asked and he said , it was a juniour prosecutor looking at building up her court hrs , and thats why she would'nt drop it even though she knew it was a bullshit no win case , once it went to a higher court her boss stepped in , and conceded it was bullshit ,
The lawyer who was'nt a mate just someone i had done a lot of work for said , thats the way it goes and it goes alll the time . he said on looking into it there had been 20 plus convictions for the same thing , but this was the first time ANYONE had actually fought it , others had all just copped a conviction and paid the fine with no fight .
OK i've gone this far if youv'e bothered to read i'll tell you . Market stall , near xmas , guy on market stall who happenned to be a ex cop anyway , was selling plastic toy guns , but because they fired little foam beans over 3 foot , you had to supply name adress , when you bought one they were bright orange , plastic things .
Anyway after he bought 3 one each for his kids some months after they were made illigal because they fired a projectile , foam bean or not ,, fast forward months , ploice visit stall holder , get the adress off everyone who boght one and commence going to there houses , they asked if he owned them he said sure there in the toy box 2 actually broke , they confiscate him and charge him with possesion of illigal firearms .
Joke right , yeh except a conviction for firearms of any sort would cost him his job , so he pleaded not guilty coud'nt afford a lawyer and felt he was in deep deep shit , he was worried for months , i camer to the rescue , i done a job for the lawyer and come to an agreement represent him no charge jobs free , he done me a favor all was good ,
But the whole lot was caused by an exurbrent juniour prosecutor looking to up her court hrs , fooking disgrace
