I must have been responding to a post when you posted this Kamille, wondering who was desperate enough to take MR's appeal process on. :floorlaugh: Now we know and thank you for that info.
I cut and pasted a paragraph from your link and take huge consideration into the wording used by Mr. Neuberger "If successful". He makes it sound like if legal aid will support MR. Of course they will, they've already paid out big bucks to support him, what's a few more at taxpayers expense. The "If successful" I'm sure means if the appeal is successful. Why do I feel it won't be?! :waitasec: I guess one look at the pretrial reports from the appeal judges and they will see all the evidence on MR's character was allowed at that time and not quashed by the defense. They will also take into account what was not allowed to be presented about his bad character during trial such as his computer searches on how to abduct, torture little girls and child *advertiser censored*. Yep
Mikey you WERE one hell of a bad character and I'm glad the jurors found you guilty based on the evidence. BTW I bet you're being a good boy in KP. I am grateful Judge Heeney didn't allow the computer and cellphone evidence in, as this would have certainly gave you a wide open door for a successful appeal.
It makes me lol when I consider what this is appealing. Maybe when Judge Heeney called him a philandering cad, that was the straw which broke the camels back. They say the truth hurts. Poor Mikey, may you rot in your cell, shed a lot of tears over the taunting and teasing from your fellow inmates.
The judge in Mr. Raffertys murder trial Thomas Heeney was criticized for excluding character evidence, a decision he later defended saying the evidence was legally inadmissible because it breached Mr. Raffertys Charter rights.
. I guess there goes most of the evidence then, as everything about this case shows MR as a bad character. HTH
