Thursday July 12, 2007 16:09 by Max
Yesterday the court at Belmullet was full to capacity with many standing as a number of cases related to the controversial Corrib gas project were heard. By now people will be aware of the miscarriage of justice that was the case for “Chief” Pat O’Donnell, his son Jonathan and Enda Carey (more on this below) but there were also a couple of other cases that related to Shell to Sea campaigners. A local spokesperson stands falsely accused of assault in a further demonstration of political policing in Erris but the hearing for this case has been moved forward to September. In the case of five protesters who blockaded Shramore peat depository last month the judge was unwilling to accept concerns about abnormal levels of aluminium found in the drinking water supply as reasonable cause for the blockade. She cited lack of expertise as the reason - this is in line with her previous rubbishing of another case last month where a man attempting to communicate his rights under the constitution was dismissed because he wasn’t a lawyer and he was further dismissed for posting items on Indymedia “so now you think you’re a journalist!” |

Jump To Comment: 5 4 3 2 1After almost a week there are only four comments appearing on this thread. All are supportive of the people who were convicted for assaulting the Gardai. This would give the appearance that there is a unanimity of support for these convicts among the Indymedia community. The problem is that a far larger number of comments and reactions - all of them critical of these people - have been removed by the Indymedia censors.
What are they trying to suppress?
The fact that there little community support in Mayo or anywhere else for this sort of violent and counterproductive action is what they are trying yo hide.
Obviously Indymedia is an unreliable source of information. Obviously Indymedia cannot trust its readers to be told the whole truth when it conflicts with what its commisars want us to believe.
This contribution will be flicked. However, before it goes, I expect a number of the innocents who previously had faith in Indymedia as a reliable source will be wised up.
Every litle bit - as they say..............
can ye tell us what jail so we can send cards in support?
Big lawyers and separate sentencing for yob behaviour
of course - Judges must only deal with evidence, but
you don't see them incarcerating the cops- do you???
quoting from report, by Max . (interalia)"the guard himself did not know whether they were hit by a car or a person and could'nt positively identify anyone" "Evidence given by individual gardai was contradictory" The saying 'the law is an ass' immediately comes to mind in the light of the sentences passed down. My tuppence worth of view in this serious matter is that a case be brought against Judge Mary Devins by way of Certioari and that is a summons/writ by which a higher court reviews a case tried in a lower court. The matter is such that the Judiciary might as well put 'the law is an ass' on all judicial paperwork relating to the courts instead of 'Courts of Justice' Good luck to the men whether they be in jail or awaiting fresh appeal applications. People need to stand up for their rights and stick together. Oiche maith.
Judge Mary Devins is married to Fianna Fail junior government minister, Dr Jimmy Devins TD.
Promotion for a judge from District Court to Circuit Court requires government approval.
No evidence to convict but she believed the word of the Gardaí. Just like Donegal.
Lack of evidence accounted for in this report: http://www.indymedia.ie/article/82730
