Dear MOJUK,
...We were shocked to discover that the cases of Gary Mills & Tony Poole were not referred back to the appeal court by your Criminal Cases Review Commission. An absolutely disgraceful decision rendering further travesty of justice upon a nation under the administration of the law.
It appears that your CCRC is working upon the premise of a cases "probable or possible success" in the appeal court in accordance with the present standards of the law, case precedent and procedures.. In that Case then, they are simply acting as yet another branch of an oppressive administration... "In fact, as yet another appeal court outwith a competent court of law." "nor any representation by the appelant". For that too is relevant and factual.
Your system does not require yet another, lower level, appeal court merely administering the Same flaws as it's bigger brother up stairs.. It requires (And thought it had acquired) an genuinely independent and impartial body to review cases of alleged miscarriage of justice upon their merits and, upon d genuine objective and impartial opinion. You’s are not getting this whilst your CCR Commission is entirely influenced by the possible or probable opinion of the court. For then you’s are merely getting more of the same substandard opinions based upon the same substandard flaws in the law, only now by an alleged objective and impartial body. Thus, only adding yet another level of oppression upon the victims of injustice.
It is those present Standards which are the primary Malfunction in your system and, which result in so many miscarriages of justice, to which your CCR Commission should be addressing themselves. They should not be reaffirming them by acting out the part of little appeal courts merely enforcing what 'they' believe would be the appeal courts decision by those standards. For they then become but another branch of the same maladministration and, as such, May only malfunction per same.
Their function as an alleged objective and impartial body is, or should be, to refer Cases to the court upon the probability Of Miscarriage of justice and not upon the probability of success under the present standards. Such Cases should be referred and referred again & again to the court until the present standards are upgraded and evolve to redress the balances of justice by the correction of the errors and flaws which causes them in the first instance, that they may not then recur again in time. For otherwise, your CCRC has no real nor practical function other than to reaffirm the substandard flaws as correct.
They cannot say that they refer upon the balance of probable success under present standards is due to the huge backlog of cases pending re view. For said backlog will always exist and is partly extended courtesy of their own unwillingness to address the causes and, by cowtowing to the opinions and standards of the established administration of the law. They should stand up for justice. Not the administration of the the present administration of the law. Let justice be done, not merely seem to be done in it's superficial appearances.
it’s an absolute scandal that the CCRC behaves in this way.
Give our best regards to Gary and Tony and to all those Hostages innocent imprisoned in pain.
We are due a decision from the SCCRC, this month.
Take Care
Shine on
