The previous conviction discrepancies will be highlighted counsel to counsel between the prosecution
and the defence. Tactically we have to withhold certain information in particular the email from the
council. I have referred to the noise abatement officer attending and alluded to police also being in
attendance.
The CPS is the organisation that makes the decision on continuing the prosecution and it the police
are failing to investigate and we provide written representations with evidence in support then the
prosecution may review on the grounds that there is no realistic prospect of conviction. This is the
most sensible approach.
As advised earlier once my headache clears I will be drafting detailed representations with a view to
the CPS reviewing the prosecution in this case.
Regards
Josephine

Hi Josey
Sorry to hear you are ill I hope you feel better soon.
I notice that nothing is in there for the bail application for the PNC and the failing to surrender that should not
be on his record. Which he does have bail condition set for failing to surrender. And can the issues about his
PNC be given in court tomorrow without it being in the bail application as I do feel the judge should be told
about these errors on Simon record as there is also more then one error and these did have a deciding factor
towards his bail condition in this case.
And are we showing the court the email from the council which does show the police was aware of the party
before 04/05/2013 and that it was being squatted before Simon had even attended the building?
I was thinking that all this information would have been needed to show the judge how bad this case really is.
Will it be Jemi that will attend court tomorrow?
