Follow up from Doc 111

In particular DO Smith’s statement

‘Sub Officer Boyce indicated that you were not on duty and was also able to inform me that you were indeed aware that the hearing has been postponed at Mr Hyde’s request.’

Blog readers should know that at no time did Firefighter Hyde or his representatives ask for the hearing scheduled for Monday 7th June 1999, to be postponed.

Firefighter was at no time ever consulted or involved in the decision to postpone the hearing. Full and total responsibility for that decision rested with ACFO Kenneth Seager.

Inferences suggesting the motives for the postponement can be viewed in the preceding blog entries. Further reinforcement of prosecution motives can be viewed in later posts.
