Maurice has
had to endure soooooooooo much trouble and to think up sooooooooooo many ways
of defending himself while trying to live a private and professional life, that
it’s hard for him to see the wood for the trees. However, as there are more
opportunities for putting court documents together, he also goes over
transcripts of past hearings and lo and behold, he makes new discoveries.
Here he puts
together the essence of six documents:
1. Four pages of a leaked MAPPA memo that identifies why police deliberately set Maurice
up as a target to be shot.
a. This is crucial evidence of the
covert surveillance that Maurice suspected but Police had always denied.
Maurice thinks he knows why it started on June 8th, but he still has
no idea why it ended on December 18th.
b. The law says that offenders are
entitled to minutes of meetings in which they are being discussed. Maurice has
never seen any, and Police have never disclosed any either.
2. The full transcript (22 pages) of the hearing on 2nd Dec 09 in Cardiff Crown
Court, when Maurice was still in prison, fearing he might be sent to Broadmoor
for life. The transcript commences at 11.39am. Almost a whole hour was not
recorded. Maurice now realises that the reason was that William, the court
clerk, had been told not to switch on the tape, while Dr Tegwyn Williams’ latest medical report was discussed, which, of
course, he had never seen.
3. Another transcript - of the hearing on 17th December 09 Newport Crown Court - (25
pages) poses a few interesting questions:
a. Is it the decommissioned machine gun
(that Maurice once owned as part of an antique plane) that is dangerous or is
it Maurice Kirk who is dangerous?
i. Will he commit ‘further offences’? To
own and have sold a firearm where the ones alleged).
ii. Will he interfere with witnesses? (His
offer on his website to reward information leading to witnesses made the Police
worried.)
iii. Will he fail to surrender, if he is
granted bail? (He wasn’t volunteering to report to a police station in Wales as
he has suffered their harassment for decades.)
b. What are the considerations, threats
and delays regarding his action for civil damages against South Wales Police to be listed for January 25th 2010? This civil action actually only started
on September 7 and is currently being adjourned until November 30.
c. It appears that Maurice could have
been granted bail, if he had ‘behaved a bit better’. But it also seems as if he
knew that what really mattered to the Judge, the Prosecution and, above all,
South Wales Police, was to delay the hearing of his case for civil damages.
That’s why, it seems, Judge Bidder apologised to Mr Twomlow, the Prosecutor: “I am very sorry, Mr Twomlow that I couldn’t
help”.
d. One day after this hearing, his MAPPA
surveillance was stopped.
4. 3rd November 09 - a
26-page medico-legal assessment by Dr
Silva was in favour of Maurice: “not
suffering from a mental disorder of a nature or degree that would make
detention in hospital appropriate.”
5. 1st December 09 – a
5-page medical report by Dr Kemp – in favour of Maurice: ”does not show any convincing evidence of abnormality”...
6. Purported first page extract of 18th
September 09 Professor Roger Wood medical report only released by NHS in June
2010. The original report, read, at the time by Maurice, inside Caswell Clinic,
is being refused disclosure by Dr Ruth Bagshaw, to whom it was addressed.
