9 August (Part 2) - 24 hours to save Sandra
By
my reckoning, Sandra Bauer, Bexley councillor, deputy leader of the Labour
opposition and governor of the Bexley Business Academy has 24 hours to salvage
any vestige of a reputation she might have after making a
statement alleging Olly Cromwell was encouraging people to put dog faeces
through councillor Melvin Seymour’s letter box. It is an established fact that
he did no such thing. Furthermore that action would require an address and at no
time did Olly supply one or even mention the councillor’s name.
At Olly’s trial Sandra Bauer wasn’t called as a witness
and at the appeal she failed to turn up. A skilled barrister in possession of
all the facts should easily demolish a dishonest witness. Now we are close to the time
that the prosecution case will likely
fall apart for lack of evidence
- the CPS lost the file and has just 24 hours to find it.
At 5 p.m. tomorrow Olly’s conviction may be on course to be overturned and Sandra
Bauer will for ever more be labelled a person who was prepared to let a false
statement stand and see a man convicted on words made up by her or councillor Seymour. Too cowardly, too
dishonest to correct an untruthful statement. Why don’t the two of them come clean and salvage just a
little bit of honour before it is too late?
Note dated 17th August 2012. At
an appeal hearing
where both Seymour and Bauer were called as witnesses and cross examined
it became clear that it was Seymour who had dishonestly exaggerated the content of the Tweet
in order to attempt a miscarriage of justice and Bauer had merely sent him a copy and took no part in its embellishment.
