Protesting Against The First Trial Without A Jury In England & Wales For 350 Years

Hi,

I am currently protesting against the first trial without a jury for 350 years in England & Wales

I believe rial by Jury is a fundamental civil right in the democratic world and an integral part of the legal system of England and Wales.Without a Jury; there is no safeguard on the civil rights of the public in a Court of Law.

Allowing the Judiciary to make unaccountable rulings is a dangerous road and must be reversed.

We are protesting outside the royal courts of justice on Monday the 1st of March at 9am everyone is welcome and any support much appreciated.

I will give you some background to the case. John Twomey was arrested for armed robbery at the end of the 1970s. John's case collapsed when it was discovered that evidence ( guns & cash )were not only planted by the police but he produced tape recordings of him being threatened by the police. He gave further evidence against the police in operation countryman investigations about police corruption. John was paid £25,000 in compensation for being framed and police harrassment.

Despite the previous case the grudge by the police continues and he finds himself on trial again. There is no evidence to put him at the scene of the crime , no DNA or anything. There were no weapons or stolen money found on him or in his house or car. In fact even though somebody else who John has never even met was caught by DNA evidence , John has somehow been dragged in to this the police have also presented evidence to the judge without showing it to the defence.

One detective on the case has also refused to answer whether he is a) A freemason b) knows any detectives from the first corrupt trial in 1982 c) reveal why certain notes are missing

The main detective has admitted to lying to a previous defendent to get information.

this is where you introduce yourself....the mod on this forum is a real bbad ass.....he will likely close this or move it to the correct place....


we have trials every day here without juries....because WE have a choice here for serious charges

lawyers here prefer judges...hundred times smarter than a bunch of knobs that cant even get out of jury duty

 

The question is did he choose not to have a jury? Some people prefer to waive their right to a jury you know as they trust a judge more then 12 random people.

 

Sorry for bad etiquette. In the UK it's a big deal not to have a jury. didn't realise America was worse.

 

It's not worse, we have a right to a jury, we have a right to waive that right. You know how your friends talk about jury duty, how they just want to find the guy guilty and go home? This is why some people prefer to have just a judge.
