URGENT:Possible Jury Tampering/Undisclosed Collusion in Leeds Far Right Trial

The Illuminator | 01.02.2006 13:58 | Anti-racism | Social Struggles

The latest happenings in the Griffin and Collett trial

The information provided by me, is provided on good faith, and I hope it is investigated further. It may turn out not to be true, but if there is the slightest element of fact, I trust the court and legal authorities will investigate further, to ascertain whether or not this did happen.

Any collusion/communication/undisclosed interest in a criminal case MUST be disclosed beforehand, if conflicting with the fair and legal functioning of the jury.

This morning, a member of the public gallery told me at first hand how they CLEARLY noticed a member of the jury wink at Nick Griffin.

I am obviously open-minded about this, as the following things could have happened.

1) The juror in question, might have had a piece of dust in their eye.

2) Or a rogue eyelash.

3) Maybe (no humour intended), the member of the jury had just awoken, and wasn't in full control of their eye movements.

The most worrying, and highly illegal conclusion, is that the wink was indeed an unauthorised method of communication between juror and defendent, contravening several sections of British law, and in-fact threatening the whole facet of British law that is enshrined in our constitution -

THE IMPARTIALITY OF THE JURY SYSTEM.

If there is any doubt whatsoever surrounding the actions/interactions of one member of the jury, it is imperitive that the claim is thoroughly investigated by WQednesday's courtroom CCTV evidence, to ascertain whether or not there was any truth to the rumour that one of the jurors did indeed wink to Nick Griffin.

As stated before, THIS IS NOT idle TITTLE-TATTLE or HEARSAY.

I trust the Leeds Crown Court Judicial Team will study the cctv evidence fully.

It won't take long to study the CCTV cameras from a single court session.

Yours Sincerely,

The Illuminator

Surely the authorities (and the police) will study the CCTV from Wednesday morning, to discover which juror it might (or might not) have been.

It might not be true, but you're right, it doesn't hurt to examine the tapes just to make sure nothing happened.

I take it it wasn't morse code winking. There may have been a wink and CCTV missed it or CCTV may show a wink and you still wouldn't be able to learn anything from its intent if any. It's not like it's 'Who Wants to Be A Millionaire' cough cough cough, how much information can a wink convey ? 'I fancy you' ? 'I agree with what you just said' ? Or 'I going to make sure you go down you nazi scum' ? If I was on his jury I'd be grinning at him constantly, thinking the latter. I wouldn't blow him a kiss until he was being led to the cells.

Or maybe they were winking back at Griffin, without realising the one eyed cock has a habit of doing it (winking) himself.

However, I'm sure Griffin's people would have told any insider on the jury not to do as such.

Putting it on Indymedia is hardly great is it?

However, a mate of mine once went to the urinals and had a piss nect to Collett and did confirm that he was circumcised.

I shall bring that to the attention of the BNP as it is obviously a Zionist plot.

Who cares

Who cares about the BNP scum, the reality is their brand of Nazi loving extremism died along with all the Stalinist, Trots and Maoists years ago for one simple reason. The UK electrorate don't elect anybody except middle of the road parties. It took the Labour party about 20 years to work this out and the Conservatives about 10.

The BNP has no power and won't get any, Griffin is unelectable and only the Left and its tried journeymen keep him in the news with their constant "attacks".

Move on

Collett is a yid, look at the colour of his skin and his Khazarian features. He's just one more kosher fascist that Griffin has raised to prominence in the BNP.
The Jewish BNP councillor Richardson and her supposedly gentile husband (who looks and acts more Jewish than her) was the last straw for the dedicated National Socialists in the BNP and most left, the rest were expelled or are due for expulsion. Just what Griffin wants. Give it to the next General Election and the BNP will be about as extreme as UKIP, just what ZOG wants, a watered down anti-immigrant pressure valve to keep the white working class satisfied.

Nazis Like "South Coast Assasin" Should Not Be Posting Race Hate on Indymedia

03.02.2006 07:58

The post about jury tampering had been written before the jury met to discuss the verdict, "south coast assassin", or whatever your real name is, you Hitler-worshipping piece of shite.

Whoever wrote it, seems to have observed something ontoward.

Log off and go scizophenic listening to your skrewdriver, loser!!!

Hitler masturbator and fancier Collett might have escaped four charges, but it dosn't mean the BNP can "have their heads held high" walking through British streets.

Not when there are anarchists and anti-nazis on your case, you piece of mother (and daddy) white supremacist fucking shite!!!

Idiot!!!! Nazis shouldn't be posting on Indymedia

03.02.2006 08:12

Get to "Stormponce", south coast Troll

That's where the nazis and paedos like you, belong.

Maybe you're that weirdo Collett himself. He's posted on here, many times before, in disguise, (often with the pseudonym Max)

If so, can you tell us why you're so strange, and women don't like to sleep with you???

Three years ago, the Halifax Evening Courier newspaper reported that mark collett threatened a woman with rape, outside the Halifax Council offices.

The defendant was too scared to press charges.

neo-Nazi losers like you, sure know how to prevert the course of justice (pervert being the apt word)

Anything is possible including Jury collusion...

Okay, a wink is worth more than a nod to blinkered fascist.
