In a dramatic development last Friday at the Crown Court in Cardiff, Maurice had the chance to inspect the evidence presented against him by the South Wales police.
One of the exhibits was a poster that he had allegedly sent to The Doctor in July of last year. Once he had it in his hands he noticed that there was an envelope attatched to the poster that bore a postal franking mark, the kind that you get on a letter that has been posted from a largeish office, or from an official source, like, for example, the offices of the South Wales police or some such organisation. Maurice NEVER USES A FRANKING MACHINE, as anyone who has received a letter from him will be able to confirm, so he called this to the attention of the Judge, who of course pretended not to hear, (but it will be on the transcript, or it had better be). Maurice then turned and showed the envelope to those watching from the public gallery. It was clearly visible to those who sat there watching: franking mark and all.
Now this is where it gets really interesting: Maurice had intended to send the envelope to the Judge in his civil case against the SWP, but yesterday the Police contacted the prison to insist that the exhibit in Maurice's hands is "NOT TO LEAVE THE PRISON". Why on earth would they do that with an exhibit that was presented in open court?
Of course the principal reason that Maurice does not use a franking machine is that he hasn't got one. They have to be rented, and moreover they have a unique serial number which is included in the stamp mark. One can tell precisely where a particular envelope was posted from!
It appears as if they may have shot themselves in the foot, AGAIN!!!
It seems that the web they weave is a bit more tangled than they can cope with, as Maurice keeps saying: "the truth will out".
