The courts so called expert ,who in evidence admitted he was unemployed, and who some locals said was in fact just a part time self taught guy, admitted he used his own secret formula to calculate accident speeds but could not or would not tell the court what it was based on. The destruction of his evidence was embarrassing and complete and I could not believe that he did not stand up and withdraw from the trial.The man had absolute zero expert credibility .<BR/>THEN to make the disgrace even worse the Court refused to allow the 2 experts for the defense to give their evidence, or for it to be ever considered by the Court, and gave no reason for such refusal. One of these experts was the world renowned scientist who investigated Princess Diana’s death crash and he had painstakingly reconstructed the accident judging the unfortunate dead driver to be totally responsible for failing to Stop at a Halt and directly entering Morley’s path only 30 metres in front of him.This was confirmed in Court by the man’s own daughter who stated to the court that it was not Morley's fault.<BR/>Then the Judge also refused to review the pathology reports which showed how and why the 2 people died, whether it was it as a result of high speed collision, whether they were wearing seat belts, was the VW car roadworthy etc, etc.<BR/>I shudder to think how this Court can expect to dispense Justice when every tenet of accepted legal practice is being so blatantly ignored.<BR/>I pray for Morley! He was instantly judged guilty by the worlds press before anyone even asked him what really happened that sad day! <BR/>Now a local judge is expected to conduct a fair unbiased trial without allowing the defence to present any evidence to him. What is this Judge trying to hide from the world? Justice?<BR/>Macedonia thinks it should be accepted into the EU when it still has a court system that allows judges to behave like this ?<BR/>SHAMEAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
