From: judy Unfortunately dad's bail application was unsuccessful today and he has been remanded in custody until the 28th of November, 2000, at which time he is to appear in the Sale Magistrates court again. I am not sure whether this will be for a remand or if this is the trial date. Dad's Barrister, Mr. Pat Cassey put forward a convincing argument but the Judge said that he would be an unacceptable risk should he be let out on bail. She was of the opinion that the charges against him and the evidence which the prosecution presented were sufficient enough to sway her decision against dad. I would like to point out that in relation to the charge sheet the prosecution has withdrawn the charge of possession of an E category weapon, being one machine gun. This charge has been changed to possession of a category D longarm firearm. As l had told you previously dad was not in possession of a machine gun and the Police only stated this to make dad look a lot worse in the eyes of the public. So I am not sure what the next step will be. We are all a bit disheartened at the moment. |
