If Simon had not made such foolish comments when he was arrested and instead followed sound legal
            advice at the police station then we could have made representations to review the case but based on
            his admissions at his address, coupled with his interview this was impossible.

            At the start of this case Simon was very much mistaken with regards to the law. Tactics and timing are
            important in cases.  Simon does not want to allow Solicitors to make tactical decisions so the best of
            luck to him.

            Once I get an email back from Jemi re the conference and section 8 application I will be listing this
            case to have the legal representation order revoked.

            During the telephone conversation today Simon again was abusive, he questioned my professional
            integrity, my ability to defend my clients and he threatened to slander my name. I heard him loud and
            clear Lorraine.

            All I can say is he has a very short memory. I know exactly how many times I have represented
            Simon and how many of those cases have resulted in a charge or a conviction.

            I am duty solicitor at court tomorrow and I will email Jemi in the morning. I will request an urgent
            response from him and I will then let you know when the case will be listed.

            Kind regards

              Hi Josey


              Simon has asked me to write this email so I am just writing what has been asked and the facts he is saying.
              As you are aware Simon is not great with Emails or letters and replying to them due to his writing and spelling.

              Simon has said he is not treating you in anyway, yes he did say he was going to put his papers on Facebook
              to ask people what they feel about his case. He would then be able to obtain feedback from the general
              public.

              He feels there have been many errors in his case, some of these errors he wants me to list below.

              His case was listed for the warn list for the 16/12/2013, this could not happen due to issues with the crown
              not giving the information over. You at this time wanted it to go to trial and the morning the trail started wanted
              to list information that was needed for Simon case.

              When Simon went to see his Barrister on the 13/12/2013 the barrister new nothing about the case and asked
              Simon to explain what his case was about. While Simon was explaining his barrister told Simon not to rush,
              Simon showed the barrister the invoices for the case and the barrister said these invoices were hear say, can
              he prove the items were even in the building at the time Simon was there.

              The Barrister asked where the disclosure, as what we showed him was rubbish. We had most of the case
              files with us that you had emailed to us.

              The Barrister asked has a section 8 and Third Party Disclosure been put in, we told him no he said as soon as
              we get back get your solicitors to put a section 8 and Third Party Disclosure in it should of been done already
              don’t delay get it done today. Solicitors aren't doing the job properly get onto them.

              The Barrister asked when is this in court we said next week, to which he said I don’t even know why you've
              been sent to me for this meeting as I’m on another case until Tuesday, Wednesday so won’t be able to
              represent you.

              The barrister also told me to get a copy of my interview tapes and go over them and mark any part that is
              wrong on the crowns paper work.

              Simon had about a 20 min with his barrister before the barrister had to go back into court.
