Synopsis
a) Me, Jason and Jon in the courthouse for 9:15
b) All meetings with my Solicitor concluded by 11:15
c) (i) At about 11:15 my Solicitor meets with me to tell me that the CPS are alleging that I have breached existing court bail conditions. The CPS citing the contents of a social media post that I had sent into the "www Cloud" that morning at 8:45 (before we left for court). Apparently somebody(s) - presumably and hypothetically - a big BNP Nick-racist-retard-twat-Griffin fan(s) and supporter(s) connected with the CPS's prosecution of me - had been desperately skulking, snivelling and scavenging, like a cornered mongrel dog through my social media sites from a secret location, and was upset (ahhh...) at reading a christian and surname contained therein and went crying, pleading and bleating to the CPS '...bowt it!(sic).
Why anybody connected with the CPS's criminal prosecution of me felt the need to seek out my social media public websites - on that morning I have no idea. But I do know that my Solicitor served on the CSP the names of the two witnesses for the defence - on that morning.
Coincidence? Hmmm...

c) (ii) I said to my Solicitor that that CPS allegation is complete bollocks. That I have NOT breached the court bail conditions relating to the offence for which I am being tried today and for which exact bail conditions were served on me on 25 January 2013. All of which I have complied with to the letter. [(for light relief, a made up jest) - ...Solicitor then said '...have you brought an overnight bag to court? - (end of jest) ]
c) (iii) Further discussion was had with my Solicitor, before he saying ...be ready to go in. I then spoke to Jason and Jon before being summoned into court No.3 at about 12:00 p.m.
d) On taking my seat next to my Solicitor I saw that there were members of the public in court, either neutral to or to supporting the CPS's case against me, observing the UK criminal justice system being administered in prosecuting me, the British black man who is the defendant at Trial.
I myself went to court with my two witnesses - Mr J. Ivey and Mr J. Jennings - only and with no family members or friends as members of the public in court.

17/5/13
e) The case commenced with the Justices' Clerk verifying in law whether the case against me could be heard, as the allegations against me date from Feb. 2006 and span the period to Jan. 2013. There being a cut off period of six months beyond which the separation of the alleged criminal conduct cannot be considered connected, or a continuous act, or a course of conduct etc.
Their Worships were informed by the Justices' Clerk that the case could be heard as the last allegation falls well within the six months cut off period - because - the CPS assert that their "six page" Witness statement (of the 3/12/12* - please note!) that was made to Thames Valley Police by ***** *****, which is the CPS's evidence at Trial, contains allegations of harassment which cites the defendant's social media contents dated as recently as Dec. 2012.
f) The CPS then commences to present their opening argument to their Worships. The CPS basically outlined the allegations, the context of the allegations and what the CPS assert are the historic and contemporaneous background to the allegations of criminal harassment carried out against the Crown's witness. Including, the CPS presenting, briefly, the responses of the defendant when interviewed under caution by the investigating police officers on 10/01/13. The CPS's opening remarks to the Magistrates' Bench lasted approx. 10 min.
g) The CPS then indicated to their Worships that the Crown would like to put the CPS's evidence to, and to ask questions of the Crown's witness. The Magistrates then turned their attention to the defendant and my Solicitor. The Magistrate told me that the CPS had requested and had been granted special measures in relation to the ccircumstances under which Crowm's witness is prepared to give vebal evidence in person under oath in a public court.
The Magistrate informed me and my Solicitor that the Crown's witness was only willing to give his evidence in a public court on behalf of himself and on behalf of the State's prosecuting authority if I - the defendant - were not able to look at him doing it. If I were prevented from looking at him giving his so-called "evidence".
N.B. Talk about surreal, disturbing, bizarre and strange behaviour in the Crown's only witness requesting evidence-giving "special measures" in a public court. "Special measures" that are put in place: For a child under 17. Or for a victim of a sexual offense. Or for a person with communication difficulties. Or for a vulnerable or intimidated person. Or for a person with significant impairment of intelligence and social functioning. Or for a person who suffers from a mental disorder - as defined by the Mental Health Act 1983.
And now, apparently, those same "special measures" are also put in place for a six foot two, 48 y/o "substantive C1 grade BT IT Gold User team leader supervisor" current white BT employee of 20+ years employment, who considered himself to be a law unto himself inside that white employer's workplace environment.
[Mmmm, yeeeeeeessss! Very strange, very bizarre and so so very pathetic behaviour - indeed. My my my, how far the once mighty seem to have fallen!]
h) However, I was ordered to leave the court and go into another room and to close the door behind me. I did this. Some moments later I was called back into court and took my seat next to my Solicitor, my view of the witness box and it's occupant was now blocked by a screen partition.
i) Their Worships, the Justices' Clerk, the court usher, the CPS prosecutor and my Solicitor all had sight of the CPS's witness who occupied the witness box.
j) The court then heard the Crown's witness take the oath on the Holy Bible, after which the CPS prosecutor asked questions of the Crown's witness for 25 minutes maximum. Following which the court adjourned for lunch until 13:45.
k) The actual content of the evidence given by the Crown's witness in public court in response to being questioned by the Crown prosecutor will be described later within this post.
l) The court reconvened at 14:00 and I was again ordered to remove myself from the court whilst the Crown's witness re-entered the witness box hidden behind a sight blocking partition. After whch I was called back into court and took my seat next to my legal representative, looking forward to my Solicitor's cross examination of the Crown's witness in relation to the seven consecutive years of criminal harassment he alleges has been conducted against him by that Solicitor's client, Colin Jarvis.
Okay so far? Goodie good.
