Ok this will be long so sorry about the spelling and grammar mistakes.
Called three Times sat on 7 juries 4 not worth talking about boring
The main three ones where abuse by the father against their daughter
First one was at the Old B.
Interesting fact was the defence asked a witness about his criminal convictions the Judge intervened and said are you sure you want to bring this up defence lawyer said yes.
Reason the defence lawyer did this was that his 50 year old client had never committed a crime before and so could be stated
Found Guilty.
Second on at an annex at Snaresbrook.
This lasted a whole week.
Father accused of smashing his daughters with a hammer when she was asleep.
Judge directed to give a Not guilty as the house in Layton had two lodgers as well as his other two daughters.
Found not guilty on the direction of the Judge.
Third one.
A 60 year old man a caretaker at Warren ST school in Dagenham
Was charged with the raping of a sixteen year old girl along with the girls mother who helped and had sex with her as well
We found both guilty of this Childs RAPE.
The defence lawyer asked for sentence to be postponed because next week her brother was to stand trial also accused of raping her.
That poor girl gave evidence for two days because she was told If you don't know the answer say you can't remember I have never seen any one so cowered head down voice hard to hear.
He got 10 years and her mother got 7 years and I got great satisfaction in finding these bits of filth guilty.
After the trial I went home and my daughter said to me you look sick was it that bad ….. I said yes, and thought How could any one do that a your on daughter.
Am proud that I found scum like that guilty
