Prepared by: :Waseem: Malik
🎯 Purpose
To demonstrate that, contemporaneous with possession of exculpatory MG6C material (Whitmore letter) and the solicitor’s own acknowledgement that a psychiatric report was “fundamental”, the defence also held formal prosecution witness statements — and failed to exercise the right to challenge them in person. This corroborates knowledge, opportunity, and omission.
đź§© Key Points
- Direct Receipt: Addressed to ABV Solicitors (Rishi Verma) from CPS Thames & Chiltern on 14/10/2020.
- Content:
- S.9 CJA 1967 Notice to admit witness evidence in writing.
- Lists PC Jessica Turner’s statements re: arrest and interview (Nov 2019).
- Defence Rights:
- 7‑day statutory window to object and require live testimony.
- Strategic opportunity to cross‑examine arresting/interviewing officer on procedure, necessity, and credibility.
- Failure: No objection lodged, no cross‑examination pursued, no use of available exculpatory material to undermine these statements.
đź”— Corroboration
- #752: Proves possession of MG6C/Whitmore letter — mental‑health capacity evidence.
- #755: Verma’s own email confirms understanding of psychiatric report’s fundamental importance.
- This Note: Shows that, at the same time, the defence also held the CPS’s key witness statements yet failed to mount any evidential challenge.
âš– Evidential Weight
- Regulatory: Supports SRA complaint — gross negligence in case preparation and trial strategy.
- Judicial: Bolsters unsafe‑conviction argument; failure to contest central prosecution witness where capacity and credibility were live issues.
