A detailed account of the 2nd December 2009 Cardiff Crown Court affair, between HM Authorities and the medical profession, in the absence of their target
A. Dr Tegwyn Williams had been in court,
possibly since 10.30am and had revealed the prisoner's confidential
medical history with the CPS (South Wales Police) and others, supplying
the Prosecution barrister, Mr Richard Twomlow, with both his new medical
evidence but also, even, the medical report from Dr Edward Silva of
Ashworth high security prison, obtained only by court order. So who
invited Dr Williams to attend?
B. His Honour Judge Bidder QC refused Dr
Williams' and the Crown Prosecution's recommendations that the prisoner
should be sent to Ashworth, IPP (Imprisonment for Public Protection) due
to his 'significant brain damage' and possibly a tumour.The judge,
instead, had to refuse due to the 1983 Mental Health Act, for Section
41etc, committals, requiring, not one but two level 12 forensic
psychiatrists to agree.
C. During the June 09 armed police raid, when the
prisoner was first jailed, a second team of police officers had been
assigned to obtain a prepared witness statement, from his wife, under
the very real Social Services threat on their ten year old daughter, to
the affect that her husband had a ‘history of mental disorder', thus
requiring only one doctor's signature for committal. This would avoid
the embarrassment of a dubious, if not concocted trial for the
alternative long prison sentence.
D. The prisoner had taken the precaution to obtain
help from his past MP, Walter Sweeney, to get his wife, a consultant
radiologist, to find specialist Dr Paul Kemp on the subject of the
apparent spurious report, now before the court, on the SPECT scans of
his brain conducted by the NHS. Police expert, Professor Roger Wood, had
to quickly retract, back date and rewrite his original 18th
September 09 version, still not disclosed to the parient's GP, by Dr
Ruth Bagshaw, also of Caswell Clinic, the original recipient. Mr
Sissling, the area NHS manager continues to fail in replying to letters
from both the Welsh Assembly Member and the patient's MP.
E. The 1st December 09 report by Dr Kemp
was served on the court that same day. The Cardiff court fails to
disclose if that report was ever received, as it contains evidence
contradicting Dr Tegwyn Williams in no uncertain terms. [July 09
psychiatric reports,favourable to the prisoner, even before Dr Williiams
wrote his 3rd August Interim Report, not even examining his patient, were discounted by each bail judge that saw them.]
F. Page 3 para B of the 2nd December transcript
reveals the HM prosecutor, having stated the prisoner had refused to
read the new Dr Williams report, he having been given no opportunity in
the cells, persuaded the Judge that, as he had ruled against a committal
of the prisoner, there was, surely, no need for the prisoner to know
its content.
G. The judge, on page 5 para B fails to refer to the
prisoner that a new evidence by Dr Williams had been before the court,
all older reports having been served on him, long before Her Honour
Judge Eleri Rees and HHJ Llewellyn Jones, refusing him bail, both in
October and the November hearings.
H. The Criminal Court of Appeal is currently refusing
to order the HM Cardiff Court to disclose that it referred to in either
of the two court logs relevant to Maurice's one month imprisonment for
‘contempt of court', in June 2010, following The Recorder of Cardiff,
Nicholas Cooke QC, also refusing to examine the enclosed documentation,
that suggested, on the 2nd December 2009, a serious miscarriage of justice had been occasioned.
I. Today, the National Health Service, Caswell
Clinic, HM Prosecution Service, South Wales Police, HM Court Service and
the General Medical Council (South Wales), all continue to refuse to
communicate with the acquitted prisoner on the matter, even refusing to
release either court record of the events or the medical evidence that
was before HM judge and HM prosecution, whilst excluding an
unrepresented remanded defendant, facing the likelihood of a prison
term, without trial, for an indeterminate period. .
Details of Evidence:
1. Four pages of ‘leaked' 8th June MAPPA memo identifying as to why, possibly, police deliberately set Maurice up as a target to be, lawfully, shot.
2. The ‘full' transcript of the 2nd Dec 09 Cardiff Crown Court hearing,
commencing 11.39am indicates almost an hour not recorded, it would
appear, because William, the court clerk, had been told not to switch on
the tape.
3. The 17th December 09 Newport Crown Court transcript,
the last chance for the judge to get the prisoner to disclose his
defence, before the jury trial began, may indicate the reality of a
successful ‘machine gun' trial from being achieved.
4. The 3rd November 09 Dr E.Silva medico-legal report - in favour of Maurice.
5. The 1st December 09 Dr P. Kemp medical report - in favour of Maurice.
6. The first page of ‘re-written' 18th September 09 Professor Roger
Wood medical report was eventually released in June 2010 but only
following repeated FOI and Data Protection Act applications by the
patient. The original document, read, at the time by the patient, whilst
inside Caswell Clinic, is being refused disclosure by both Dr Ruth
Bagshaw and the NHS, to whom it was first addressed.
