MATT QUINNS TAKE ON IT

The Hollie Greig Case... And the people behind it sinking...
Greg Lance-Watkins – Liar, and real-life Walter Mitty, has engineered a situation where the rape of a disabled child is left unreportable; the mainstream press can't touch it! - Thus protecting at least two Paedophiles But is he facing the music? Nope! He set up another man as stool pigeon for that! Robert Green, who he duped into actions that would see him stand trial in January 2012 for Breach of The Peace. We ask what hold Watkins has on those behind the persecution of Robert Green?

The Robert Green Trial – Day 6 Defence? What defence?
The first news, received early this afternoon from Stonehaven was that Sheriff Bowen had upheld the prosecution’s view that calling Eilish Angiolini to the witness stand is irrelevant... No doubt the mob will be crying ‘foul’; but it is no surprise and, to be honest a perfectly reasonable position...

Late this afternoon the news reached us that Robert Green has been found Guilty - In my view he is entirely the author of his own misfortune since, instead of trying to mount a cogent and logical defence, instead of trying to bring the Hollie Greig case back on track - he ignored all professional advice.

Instead he pursed a mad agenda - spurred on by non-educated conspiracy theorists. An agenda constructed more from fantasy and fiction than ANY understanding of the law or acceptance of reality...

Never mind! We have the cannonisation of 'St Robert of Green' coming to an internet site near you soon - The people behind this travesty are just too bound up in their imaginary world to feel shame at the devastation they have caused!

From the outset Green's so-called defence was doomed to failure...

Who instigated the action had absolutely nothing to do with the matters in hand. And really it is all this nonsense about Angiolini, Masons, Satanists and Uncle Tom Cobley and all that has exhausted the patience of the court, made Robert Green's position non credible and forces Hollie's cause to drift further and further out to sea!

Sources close to Stonehaven Sheriff Court have expressed pity for Andy Lamb, Q.C. – sent to the slaughter in terms of having (it’s said) been press-ganged into defending Green at the 11th hour. I say that because Lamb has had to present Green’s ludicrous and ill-advised line of defence... Credible reports from Stonehaven tell of a man obviously rather embarrassed to be doing what he has to do! Quiet... “Squirming almost” to quote one observer...

Day 5 of the trial had concluded with the prosecution having constructed what is to my mind a fairly weak argument to satisfy the fairly normal Breach Of the Peace mens rea and actus reus ; no precedents were harmed in the making of this mockery! - It seems members of the general populous of Ferryhill were rendered fearful for the safety of their families thanks to Green’s efforts. And certainly there was somewhat inflammatory material presented that we had been previously unaware of ... NOT I stress the massively conclusive evidence we had been forewarned to expect; but enough...

As previously reported much of the prosecution's case relied on the contentious material that was published naming Hollies alleged abusers and more troublingly her alleged co-abused. As regular readers are aware we, have clearly stated that this action is not defensible; particularly with regard to the alleged co-abused. However we have also made it clear that the correct remedy lies in the Defamation Act and the Sexual Offences Act...
Likewise it is fact that Green’s efforts were actually of very limited effect – his wee piles of leaflets, ‘round robin letter’ and public pronouncements seem to have reached a few flocks of sheep, a random tile fitter, a Collie dug and a wee man in a flat cap who mistakenly thought the mobile library was in town!

24/7 worldwide coverage of the material was provided though by Greg Lance-Watkins via his Stolen Kids Blog. Frankly piss-poor ‘evidence’ was presented to paint Robert as the author of the troublesome blog. Which, from extrapolation of current figures, had probably had 30,000- 40,0000 ‘hits’ at the time of Green’s arrest.- but of course there is no way Green actually was the author! It seems odd to us that Green is so readily hounded for reaching at most maybe two hundred people with his claims – Yet Greg Lance-Watkins’s efforts are into the tens of thousands, and he suffered no raids on his house, no seizing of his notes and computers...

And you would reasonably think that discrediting the prosecution’s claims would be the main tack taken in defence – sadly no...

“Robert would like it stressed that it is very important to keep in mind that this trial is not to determine whether those accused by Hollie of abusing her or assisting and/or facilitating in the abuse, were guilty. It is simply to determine if Robert’s actions have caused the accused some level of harm or distress. Nothing more, nothing less.”

Actually the prosecution didn’t need to prove harm and they did need to prove something rather more serious than mere distress; but otherwise yes; the trial was about one issue only. Breach of the Peace... “Conduct which [presents] as genuinely alarming and disturbing, in its context, to any reasonable person” (Smith v Donnelly 2001 SLT 1007 at [17])

Why Robert Green imagined for a moment he would be allowed to present a load of spurious matters not directly relevant to the charge into the court record by way of defence is simply beyond imagining! It was MADNESS from the outset!

- don't doubt for so much as a second that his legal team made this perfectly clear to him. He lost counsel after counsel for the plain and simple reason; no one wanted to be the one to have to present this tosh to a court...

To be fair the somewhat bizarre line of questioning in cross examination by the defence has established some fairly useful facts on record. The matter of the Police investigation in relation to Hollie’s allegations is now on balance proved as claimed by Green... Great though that is it doesn’t really help his case!

- But a sane defence was not ever on the cards here. By rights Green should have been refuting the prosecution’s evidence on the basis of his behaviour not being of a nature that was genuinely alarming or disturbing to reasonable people... He should have been pointing out to the court that it was another party who was primarily responsible for disseminating the contentious material...

Is that what’s happened? – Nope!

As I have tried to get through many times – it simply didn’t matter, in terms of a defence to the charge, whether Green was justified in his actions... Not one jot! It didn't matter who exactly was behind the prosecution... And there was never any prospect of him being allowed to 'hijack' procedings to use the court as a platform for his own ends...

Perhaps, since he’s on the North East Coast, home to much of Scotland’s fishing fleet, he imagined herrings of the finest scarlet are the order of the day? Doing himself up like a right Kipper is the notion that springs to mind – or should that be a Smokie?

- At the moment I reckon he’ll get 3 months suspended for the breach and will probably get another 3 inside for the Bail offences...

However; take a direct warning Robert - Given the tack you have just taken, given the nonsense you have spouted, there is a REAL possibility of the court formally challenging YOUR mental health.! - Sure, that will play just great with the crowd; but they won't be the ones facing the real-life consequences! - They'll be sitting in their nice cosy homes key-tapping away as usual!
