Blade Runner 1,012 Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 Does anyone know where we are with this? Any more Court appearances recently? It hasn't just "gone away" has it? as Burt asked? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Burt 144 Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 Man in the pub tells me that it has definately not gone away, but can't find anything out to back that up though. Perhaps its as simple as asking the courts, perhaps Mr Wright could find out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Three Legless 0 Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 All six defendants have been committed to General Gaol Delivery. Lewin was committed at a separate hearing in front of Mr Moyle who warned him that the case would probably be heard either just before or just after Christmas. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Shake me up Judy 5,268 Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 I think that the longer the case drags on the longer the lid can be kept on the real story. I would hazard that most of the accused have little to answer for (I don't think they've even been charged have they ?) but as long as proceedings are ongoing they and the media are effectively gagged from commenting or reporting on the case. I could be entirely wrong and perhaps someone could enlighten us. Anybody know anything ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

John Wright 8,294 Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 Delayed until yesterday, apparently, because one defendant had not got legal represenattion, needed legal aid as own resources had run out. Took time to get an advocate willing to take case on. Judy you don't get to court until you have been charged. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
%age 1 Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 (edited) Cheers for that John, how priviliged we are to have a forum member 'on the inside' Any luck with letting us know other countries who keep their court listings a secret? will get back about list of western countries who don't post/publish lists. Please feel free to let me know anytime. As stated previously I will gladly accept the likes of banana republics, African dictatorships, juntas and dodgy central Russian pariah states. Certainly not England and Wales Court Listings Ditto Scotland: Rolls of Court Sheriff Online, I can find out the court listings in Derby, Doncaster or Durham and Dingwall, Dornoch or Dunoon. But Douglas I've no fucken chance. Even if you are a party it is like pulling teeth getting information out of the Isle of Man Courts. And anywhere else in the civilised western world has court listings posted and displayed at the courts. It is a fucken disgrace. Back on topic, I am surprised that the judge didn't just tell the defendant tough: pal, you've had a chance to get legal representation, defend yourself.

guilty 64 Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 you've had a chance to get legal representation, defend yourself. I think that is precisely what the deemster DIDN'T want! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Blade Runner 1,012 Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 So when are they all back in court then John? any idea? Now they all have representation? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
John Wright 8,294 Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 All been committed to General Gaol. Not sure when the plea date will be, not been set yet, but I suspect either December or January, then if pleading not guilty a date will be set. You can ring the court office and they will adcvise what dates are set aside for General Gaol plea dates. I have the info somewhere but as I am travelling today cannot look it up.

Tweek 871 Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 Do we know who has been charged and with what ? Search the web - it was on Manx Radio and IOMonline who was charged with what etc. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
