Bad News - Susan May has lost her appeal

     In the High Court, this morning at 10.00 am three judges, Justices Buckley, Grigson and Lord Justice Kennedy entered and sat down.

     Lord Justice Kennedy, a arrogant sadistic bastard, said "This appeal is dismissed". And the three judges got up and walked out. ( not one of the three as much as glanced at Susan in the dock.) The whole process from when they walked in to when they walked out took less than a minute, the verdict took less than two seconds to deliver.

    The public gallery erupted with cries of 'Shame' 'Bastards'. Some of Susan's supporters could not immediately comprehend what had happened.

    Many of us in the public gallery who have attended hundreds of appeals have never heard a decision delivered in this manner. Paddy Hill (Birmingham six), was totally outraged.

    Campbell Malone and Mike Mansfield, (Susan's solicitor and barrister), who between them have over 70 years of listening to appeals, were adamant that they or no one they knew, had heard a decision delivered in this manner.

After the verdict a spokesperson for the Susan May Campaign said:

     Despite the many proven cases of police malpractice in recent months and years the court has yet again demonstrated that it is more concerned with protecting a constantly discredited judicial system than injustice itself.

      It refuses to acknowledge charges of police corruption or flaws in the system and would rather an innocent woman continue to rot in prison than accept the unpalatable truth.

      Those of us who are aware of the nightmare that Susan may has endured for nine long years can only continue to fight on for her release.

      We will be consulting with Susan's lawyers, with a view to taking the case to Europe.
