Maurice has been in touch by phone to say he's being refused access to his legal papers, stamps
and money in order to begin building a defence for himself in time for the court hearing on
September 1st. He also asked Caswell Clinic to allow him his conjugal rights. They refused that, too. Some of what he needs (for the defence) is being held at Cardiff Prison, but they
won't allow him to have it transferred to the clinic. His laptop has been brought in by his wife, but he is being refused access to both.
By the time his 28 day evaluation is up
(in which he fully expects to be given a clean bill of health) it will be too
late for him to mount an effective legal defence against parties with all the time, power
and resources they have at their disposal.
A new charge against Maurice in addition
to those due to be heard at the September 1st court hearing has been added to the original charges - count 1 possession of a firearm without a license and
count 2, selling or transferring a firearm without a license.
To these count 3 will be added - possessing criminal property, contrary to sec 329(1)(C) of the proceeds of
crime act 2002. Maurice John Kirk between the 1st of January 2008 and 23rd June
2009 possessed criminal property namely £2,000 knowing or suspecting it to
constitute a person's benefit for criminal conduct.
Caswell Clinic is only allowing him one phone call
per day, but any people with information or advice that could be of help (for the defence) can reach him on 01656 753081.
