Operation Planet, Abuse of Justice & The Crown Office Of Scotland

On the 29th April 1991 a meeting was held between Lord Fraser (the Lord Advocate), Lord Roger (the Solicitor General), Duncan Lowe (the Crown Agent), Alfred Vannet (the Deputy Crown Agent) and persons unknown, to discuss  a report written by Elish McPhilomy (now Dame Elish Angiolini), that sought to establish a rationale for, and the extent to which, the protections offered by Common Law could be circumvented, and statute law ignored.

Jury Nullification - A Power of the People

In the US last month, a judge ruled that Jury Nullification, a jurys ability to over-rule the law, was still lawful and very much in effect.

This follows a case in which 80 year old Julian Heicklin, was arrested by FBI agents for passing out pamphlets which informed jurors of their right to nullify a case if they thought the law being applied was unfit or unjust.

The prosecution had accused Mr Heicklyn, who was handing out the pamphlets for an organisation known as the 'Fully Informed Jury Association', of trying to influence jurors through written communication.

Further Undermining Of Our Constitutional Protections Through Drink Driving Laws

I received an email this morning (how I ended up on their mailing list, I have no idea):

Rebecca is a thirteen-year-old Care2 member from England whose teenage brother Jamie was killed by a drunk driver in Otley, West Yorkshire on New Years' Eve in 2010. The driver, who was later convicted and is serving a four-year sentence, was allowed to go on driving for months before the trial commenced.

Rebecca thinks that this is terrible, and her local member of Parliament (Liberal Democrat Greg Mulholland) agrees.

Robert Green Convicted In Court With No Jury

On Tuesday, 24th January in Stonehaven Court, Scotland, Robert Green was found guilty of Breach of the Peace, and breaking some of his bail conditions. Three other charges were dropped. 

Barely reported in the mainstream press, this man has been found guilty of ‘crimes’ for daring to expose the facts concerning the rape and abuse of Hollie Greig at the hands of senior members of the Scottish establishment. Even before the latest 6 day hearing, the Scottish ‘justice’ system had spent over £500,000 trying to shut Robert up.

Angiolini: Covering For Paedophilia?

For those of us following the Hollie Greig case, it is particularly shocking that when challenged about the lack of action from Scotland's prosecutors and the police, instead of a statement from the Lord Advocate stating her position, a persistent stream of threatening letters from a Mr Callum Anderson of Scottish law firm, Levy & McRae have been issued on her behalf.

The question that sprung to my mind when I saw these communications was, what is Ms Angiolini, the Lord Advocate of Scotland, afraid of that she feels the need to hide behind solicitors letters?

And then, a kind member of the public pointed us to a previous incident reported on by the Telegraph, involving Ms Angiolini in her role as Procurator Fiscal for Grampian, Highlands and Islands.
