In response to my letters of complaint, Clearly this response shows that our Justice Department clearly Are Not Interested.Dear Mr DonaldThank you for your e-mail of 30 May 2007 addressed to the First Minister about your brother-in law, Mr Brendan Dixon. I have been asked to reply as the Scottish Executive is responsible for the way in which the justice system addresses potential miscarriages of justice.If someone has been convicted of a crime in a Scottish court and they believe that a miscarriage of justice may have occurred in respect of that conviction or in relation to the sentence imposed, then they should contact the Scottish Criminal Cases Review Commission. The Commission’s role is to review and investigate cases where it is alleged that a miscarriage of justice may have occurred in relation to conviction, sentence or both.If you feel that the Commission may be able to assist in your nephew’s case you should submit an application to the Commission. You can download an application form from their website http://www.bebo.com/Link.jsp?Url=http://www.sccrc.org.uk or you can request a form by contacting them at Scottish Criminal Cases Review Commission, Portland House, 5th Floor, 17 Renfield Street, Glasgow, G2 5AH, telephone number 0141 270 7030.Integrity is the absolute cornerstone of modern day policing and I know that the Scottish police service is fully committed to tackling all aspects and allegations of corruption and misconduct. The Police (Scotland) Act 1967, which clearly defines the roles of Scottish Ministers and Chief Constables, also makes it clear that Chief Constables are entirely responsible for operational matters affecting their force including complaints. Neither Scottish Ministers nor the Scottish Executive has any place to intervene or comment on individual cases. Any issues you wish to raise with the Chief Constable, Strathclyde Police, 173 Pitt Street, GLASGOW, G2 4JS, will be taken very seriously by the police.

The following press coverage shows conclusively that the DNA and Footprint found in this case does not match any of the Accused.Strange how Crown want to rely on such evidence to convict but when the shoe is on the other foot the evidence of DNA and Footprints not matching is cast aside?Kilmarnock Standard.........---------------------------------------------------------------Nephew of tragic Margaret angry at bid to free jail duoMar 9 2007THE nephew of a murdered pensioner has slammed a campaign to free the men convicted of her killing.Charles Keers was living next door to his 91-year-old aunt, Margaret Irvine, in Barward Road, Galston, when she was killed in September 2003 in what is thought to have been a botched robbery attempt.And he was himself a witness in the High Court trial which led to two Ayrshire men being jailed for life.Patrick Docherty, 43, of Dalmellington, and Brendan Dixon, 38, of Kilmarnock, were each ordered to serve a minimum of 25 years after a jury found them guilty of murder.A murder charge against a third man — Colin Miller, 34, from Galston — was found not proven.Now a campaign — backed by the Miscarriage of Justice Organisation — has been launched to have the two released.But Mr Keers, 50, said that he was convinced that they were guilty.“I have absolutely no doubt whatsoever,” he said. “I am 100 per cent certain.”Mr Keers, who still lives in Galston, said that a leaflet produced by the campaigners, titled ‘Free the Kilmarnock 2’, had left him “annoyed and upset”.“They even sent one to my local pub,” he said. “People were afraid to tell me because they knew I would be upset.”Mr Keers was himself extensively questioned after the murder.“I have no problem with that,” he said, “they had to cover every angle.”The leaflet issued by campaigners for Dixon and Docherty claims the case against them was “based on hearsay and circumstantial evidence”.Much of the key prosecution evidence during the five-week trial at the High Court in Kilmarnock consisted of admissions Dixon and Docherty were alleged to have made to third parties.No forensic evidence was found which could be linked to any of the accused.The co-founder of the Miscarriage of Justice Organisation, John McManus, said: “I have serious doubts about this case. I normally wouldn’t be so quick to jump in, but I do think these guys are innocent.”And Kevin Donald claimed that there was fresh evidence in the case, which is expected to go to appeal in May or June.The above appeal has been postponed because of the lack of and refusal of Crown to disclose Key evidence not heard at original trial.There is a time set for a hearing for disclosure which again delays the Appeal date somewhat and in the meantime two Innocent men languish in Prison ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Threats made to murder accused-------Kilmarnock Standard............A MAN cleared of the murder of a Galston pensioner was threatened as he helped a friend move a washing machine.Colin Miller, who was found not guilty of the 2003 killing of 91-year-old Margaret Irvine, was branded a ‘murderer’ and a ‘paedophile’ during the row in a close in Galston’s Clinchyard Place in February last year.At Kilmarnock Sheriff Court last week 36-year-old Kevin Gilmour was jailed for a total of 10 months after he was found guilty of threatening violence as well as committing a breach of the peace by shouting and swearing.But the jury found an allegation that he had a knife on the same occasion not proven.The majority verdicts came after a three-day trial during which evidence was led that Gilmour had chased Miller with a knife.Brian Little, 25, of Clinchyard Place, told the court that Miller was helping him move a washing machine when Gilmour appeared and launched a tirade of abuse at the former murder suspect, saying that he did not want him near his house.Mr Little said that Miller had left the scene and he had gone back into his own house, upstairs from Gilmour.He told the court: “As I was sitting in the house, Mr Gilmour came out and started shouting in the entry that he was going to f***ing kill me if I phoned the police.“My door was getting kicked in that night and he was going to do me.”The jury was told that Mr Little went to his parents house nearby to call the police, but then returned to the close with his parents and Miller.It was then he claimed that Gilmour pulled a knife and chased Miller “straight up the street”.The court also heard from his mother Mrs Jeanette Little who described a fight between her and Gilmour’s girlfriend Myra Simpson.She claimed that Simpson was also armed with a knife.Simpson was originally in the dock along with Gilmour, accused of having a knife and assaulting Mrs Little, but Andrew Lazarrin, prosecuting, abandoned the case against her during the trial.All the prosecution witnesses denied suggestions by Neil McPherson, defending, that they had concocted a story about knives in a bid to help Mrs Little, who was later prosecuted on a charge of assaulting Simpson.No defence evidence was led.Mr McPherson told the jury that two of the witnesses had been proven to have lied while giving evidence.Miller, he said, had denied taking drugs, although he had five convictions for possessing them.And Mrs Little had claimed in court that she had never been in trouble in her life and had a clean record. She had, in fact, been convicted on a breach of the peace charge 11 years ago.Brian Little, he said, had been unable to stop swearing, even when giving evidence.“He swore at me,” said the solicitor.Gilmour, now of West Main Street, Darvel, was sentenced to six months imprisonment for the breach of the peace, but received a consecutive four-month term for making racist remarks about a police surgeon. He had previously pleaded guilty to the offence, which was committed at Kilmarnock police station after his arrest.Mr Lazarrin said the incident took place when Gilmour asked to see a doctor.When he was reminded he had already seen the police surgeon, he made abusive remarks and added: “I’m a racist.”Simpson, 31, of the same address, was fined £225 after pleaded guilty to failing to appear at court on a previous occasion.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------From BBC news...OAP murder hunt launchedMrs Irvine had recently become housebound Police are hunting the killer of a 91-year-old woman who was found dead in Ayrshire. The body of Margaret Irvine, who lived alone, was discovered in her home at Barward Road, Galston, at 1650 BST on Sunday. Strathclyde Police said a post mortem examination revealed that Mrs Irvine was the victim of a "brutal and callous attack". An incident room has been set up at Kilmarnock police station and officers were carrying out door to door enquiries in the area. As well as carrying out an extensive investigation, extra police attention will be given to the community DCI Willie Prendergast Detective Chief Inspector Willie Prendergast, the officer in charge of the investigation, said: "At this time we have still to establish a motive for this senseless crime committed against a well respected senior member of the community." Mrs Irvine was a grandmother and had recently become housebound. DCI Prendergast said that a friend had spoken to her at 0725 BST on Sunday morning. "Although crimes of this nature are thankfully very rare, it is vital that we trace the person or persons responsible," he added. "I would like to reassure members of the Galston community, particularly elderly citizens who may be living alone, that as well as carrying out an extensive investigation, extra police attention will be given to the community." Officers have issued an appeal for information from anyone who was in the area of Barward Road on the day and may have seen anything suspicious. The Kilmarnock incident room telephone number is 01563 505058. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------From BBC news..New leads in OAP murder.Margaret Irvine was a widow who lived alone Police hunting for the killer of a 91-year-old Ayrshire woman are pursuing new lines of inquiry. Great-grandmother Margaret Irvine was found tied up and beaten to death by an intruder to her Barwood Road home in Galston on Sunday 28 September. Det Supt Stephen Heath, the officer in charge of the inquiry, said that new leads were emerging. DS Heath refused to give details but revealed that extra police officers from other divisions were being drafted in to Galston for door-to-door inquiries. He said it was vital to interview people as quickly as possible before they forget what they may have seen on the day of the murder. Detectives have interviewed a number of local people about the killing but have not yet made an arrest. It has emerged that the frail widow was the victim of a previous break-in last July during which some personal effects were stolen. Anyone with information is asked to call the incident room at Kilmarnock police station on 01563 505 000 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------From BBC news....Door-to-door inquiries over killing.Margaret Irvine died a week ago Detectives investigating the brutal murder of a 91-year-old great-grandmother are stepping up their inquiry, a week after the killing. Officers have been conducting door-to-door inquiries and questioning people in the hope of uncovering information crucial to catching the killer of Margaret Irvine. Police believe someone in Galston - the Ayrshire town where Mrs Irvine lived - holds the key to solving the murder. The frail pensioner had been tied up and beaten to death by an intruder to her Barwood Road home. Police said there was no sign of a forced entry but the housebound pensioner, who was visited by home-help assistants twice daily, had been in the habit of leaving her door unlocked. Det Supt Stephen Heath, who is overseeing the investigation, said a team of uniformed officers were making inquiries in Galston on Sunday morning. Previous break-in Mr Heath said it was known that the crime had been committed last Sunday during the day, and having such a focused time frame could help the inquiry. "Any small piece of information is very useful," he said. Detectives have interviewed a number of local people about the killing but have not yet made an arrest. It has since emerged that the frail widower was the victim of a previous break-in last July during which some personal effects were stolen. Earlier this week Mrs Irvine's daughter, Lily Green, flew in from Michigan to make an emotional appeal for anyone with information to come forward. Anyone with information is asked to call the incident room at Kilmarnock police station on 01563 505 000 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Murdered OAP had been tied up.From BBC NEWS........Margaret Irvine: "Frail and lonely" Police have revealed that the 91-year-old woman who was murdered in her Ayrshire home had been tied up in the attack. Margaret Irvine was the victim of a brutal beating and was found dead on Sunday by a family friend. Detectives said she would have been completely unable to defend herself. At a news conference on Tuesday, the officer in charge of the investigation, Detective Chief Inspector Willie Prendergast, described the killer as "brutal and callous". He said the person would have been bloodstained but would almost certainly have shown signs of a serious mood swing in the hours after the crime. "Whoever committed this crime had no regard for the consequences," said DCI Prendergast. "Whatever the motivation, there was absolutely no need for this level of violence to be perpetrated against a very fine lady." 'Too afraid' He added that the motive for the attack was probably theft. Mrs Irvine's home was broken into three months ago, it has emerged. Karen Bracher, who lives opposite Mrs Irvine's house in Barward Road, Galston, said: "I don't let my kids play out at the front and I'm too afraid to go out after dark without my man. "She was a quiet, frail, harmless old lady. "It's terrible to think someone could do this to her." Police have sealed off the crime scene Another neighbour, who provided home help for Mrs Irvine, said: "The people who did this are animals. "I used to visit Margaret on Saturday and Sunday mornings to cook her breakfast and draw her blinds. "She used to just sit down and want to speak to me about my family and about hers. She was so frail and lonely." An elderly woman, who also asked not to be named, said: "It's very frightening. I never even used to lock my front door but now I lock all the doors." The officer in charge of the investigation said on Monday that no motive had been established for the murder. Mrs Irvine was a grandmother and had recently become housebound. Detectives said she was in the habit of leaving her door unlocked.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Evening times articles........WELL-KEPT gardens sit next to shops draped with metal curtains. On one street, the words, ''Colin is a dead man'', are scrawled across an empty building. Galston may be an East Ayrshire village with typical problems of drugs and deprivation. But, until Sunday, it was not known for violent crime against its elderly residents.The vicious attack on Margaret Irvine, a 91-year-old grandmother, on Sunday set it apart from the break-ins which have recently worried people on Barward Road.Detective Chief Inspector Willie Prendergast said the widow, whose home had been raided within the past few months, had been subjected to a particularly violent ordeal.He said: ''This was your typical old lady who was too trusting. At this time, we have still to establish a motive for this senseless crime committed against a well-respected senior member of the community.''Mrs Irvine suffered from sciatica, a condition which impaired her mobility. Her body was discovered by Violet Connell, one of five home helps who visited her .A widow who lost husband John several years ago, Mrs Irvine was understood to have two daughters, Lillian and Margaret, who both live in Ayrshire and a son, who died many years ago. She lived next door to nephew Charles Keers, who was too upset to comment.Detectives yesterday reassured residents that the police presence will be stepped up and unmarked cars will be on patrol. The murder has shaken Mrs Irvine's neighbours, many of whom are elderly and living on their own. One woman, who has lived on the street for more than 60 years, said: ''It knocks you for six to be told something like that. I just would not have thought this could happen. My doors are locked all day but still, it makes you wonder. It is quite a shock.''Another neighbour and friend, Nancy Boyes, said: ''She was a lovely chatty lady but I knew she hadn't been keeping well. ''It's very worrying. I'm concerned about my mother - she's on her own and an awful one for opening the door to strangers.''Mrs Boyce added: ''The community has changed for the worse, with a lot of the young ones drinking heavily and taking drugs. Somebody was stabbed on Catherine Drive just a couple of months ago. I have seen ones that I know are dabbling in it hanging around down Mrs Irvine's end of the street.''This concern was shared by Chris Wilson, whose parents have lived near Mrs Irvine for more than 20 years: ''There have always been problems here but the council have now moved a lot of drug addicts into Catherine Drive. It's getting really rough.''Some residents claim that council housing policy has increased a significant number of people who they believe are responsible for many of Galston's problems.However, Isobel Macrae, a resident and local councillor, warned villagers not to discriminate. ''I do realise people are concerned, but you cannot create sections within the community which would become ghettoes.''But she added: ''This has certainly put a lot of fear into residents, especially the elderly who are most at risk. They do get frightened alone in their own home town. They should make sure they will be secure and not be afraid to approach myself, the council or the police.'' --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- EVENING TIMES STORY- SCOTLAND was outraged at the murder of frail great-grandmother Margaret Irvine a month ago.She was tied up and beaten to death in her home in Galston, Ayrshire - and her killer is still on the loose.................................. ....................................... ...................................SHEILA HAMILTON visited Galston to find villagers gripped by fear, and impatient for the killer to be caught.THE horrific murder of 91-year-old Margaret Irvine sent shockwaves far beyond her village of Galston in the Irvine Valley.And it has struck deep into the heart of the close-knit former mining and weaving village.There's anger, fear and disbelief that such a thing could happen to a frail, defenceless old woman living in their midst.The villagers of Galston all say the same thing - ''It could have been your granny or mine.''They are alarmed that nearly a month after Mrs Irvine was beaten to death in her sitting room, her brutal killer has not been caught.The residents of this handsome little village want the murder solved - but they fear the hunt for the killer has come to a standstill.They are becoming increasingly cynical as the investigation drags on and the police seem to have no leads.Detectives have sought the help of a TV Cracker-style psychologist, and they have not ruled out DNA testing the whole village.One village shopkeeper, who didn't want to be named, said rumours were flying thick and fast, with everyone saying the police didn't have a clue.And pointing to a copy of the newly-released police poster appealing for help, a passer-by suggested it smacked of desperation.As she stuck a poster up in the window of her hairdressing shop in the town's Cross Street, owner Lindsay Christie, 42, was inclined to agree.She said: ''We have only just got these posters - more than three weeks after the murder. It seems as if they are locking the stable door after the horse has bolted. ''If they had done more about it the first time Mrs Irvine had her house broken into, they might have prevented this.''Mrs Christie admitted a lot of her elderly clients didn't feel quite as safe as they had.''My own mum is 75 and lives in Galston and, like everyone else, she doesn't have the same confidence to answer her door,'' she said.Ironically, they have probably never been safer, as there's a heavy police presence in the village.You can't miss the murder scene in Barward Road. Floral tributes on the pavement are regularly renewed and a police incident van is parked outside.Round every corner, it seems you come on a police van or a foot patrol.''We have suddenly acquired a police presence,'' Mrs Christie said. ''Before, you were lucky to see a policeman if a window was smashed in.''And before this, there were only two police officers for the whole of the valley.''Mrs Irvine's nephew, Charles Keers, who lives next door to her home, said he had been advised by the police not to comment.And other close neighbours were equally guarded, perhaps intimidated by a police van nearby.All said they were more wary, more careful, and now locked their doors when they popped out.Most of the houses are well kept and the residents are good people, but locals speak of an influx of drug users into the area.As she made her way back from the shops to the murder scene, a building scarred with graffiti, 26-year-old mum Joanne Zaisluk said: ''In the past year, it has been crummier around here.''When I come home late in the evening from work, I don't feel happy just walking up the path from the car.''It's hard to think someone could do such a thing to an old woman, and to know it happened just round the corner is so shocking.''It makes you more aware. You think you know people - now you look at everyone differently.''Before, when I was going to the shop, I would just shut the door behind me. Now I make sure it's locked.''This year, she won't be taking her seven-year-old daughter Nichole round the houses guising at Hallowe'en.''I would be quite scared to do that and we're just going to have a party at home,'' she said.MRS Margaret Connell, 50, a near neighbour of Mrs Irvine, said: ''The person who has done this is just an animal.''Even hardened criminals wouldn't do this.''She suggested that one of the biggest problems was that the murder happened on a Sunday when most people were indoors.''Every other day of the week, people would have been out and about,'' she said.Mrs Fiona Marshall, 39, who also lives nearby, said she was inclined to think from the number of police in the area they considered the killer was definitely a local person.She said: ''Everyone is totally disgusted. We feel it must have been someone who knew her house wasn't secured during the day and that's the most worrying thing.''Councillor Isabel Macrae, a near neighbour, said: ''She was one of my constituents and a friend.''The community has gone through initial shock and fear to a feeling of empathy for the family.''Later, she issued a statement praising the local police for their understanding and thorough approach.She also promised that East Ayrshire Council had taken on board the community's fears and concerns and was confident the murderer would be caught.Families all over the village are much more fearful and concerned for their elderly relatives.Mrs Jean Crombie, 78, has lived in Galston all her life and is grateful she stays in sheltered accommodation with an alarm and buzzer.Her family have impressed on her that she must not open her door at night and must always use the buzzer.''It is terrible it has had to come to this,'' said Mrs Crombie. ''You couldn't imagine this happening in such a quiet area. It makes you feel insecure, even in your own house.''Mrs Irene Paterson, 63, said: ''I just wish they would hurry up and catch someone. Why were the posters so long in going up? Someone is hiding the murderer.''Another neighbour said: ''Everyone's so angry and just hoping someone is caught soon. But as time goes by, you begin to wonder if they ever will be.''

disclosure,

2007-08-02T12:07:00.000-07:00

on the 23, 24, of august brendan dixon will go to the high court in edinburgh. where his legal team will ask again for the release of vital statements.

what have the crown got to hide!,
it does not only happen in the case of the killie 2, but more and more cases in scotland eg william gage, and william beck to name a few.

will the disclosure be released, i hope so, for our justice system to work we need an open system going from police to pf, to crown. and no hold up's, my brother-inlaw has already spent 2, and a half years in prison for a crime he did not do, while the real killer walks free.

The case to be referred to is Holland and Sinclair and made by Privy Council. See following:

THE head of Scotland's biggest association of court lawyers has claimed that a "significant number" of cases are collapsing because of a failure by prosecutors to show the defence key evidence on time.
Gerry Considine, the president of the Glasgow Bar Association, says delays by the Crown Office in disclosing potentially crucial evidence, including DNA reports and witness statements, have caused "terminal delays" to cases.

Two years ago, the judicial committee of the Privy Council, the highest criminal appeal court, quashed the convictions of two Scots, James Holland and Alvin Sinclair, on the grounds the Crown had failed to disclose vital documents and therefore denied their right to a fair trial.
Until then, the disclosure of Crown evidence or information had rested with the Lord Advocate and Crown Office.
But the landmark rulings decreed that, unless there are national security implications, all statements have to be made available to the defence "as a matter of course".
The Crown is also now required to give the defence details of previous convictions and outstanding charges in relation to prosecution witnesses.

Men convicted of pensioner murder

Margaret Irvine was a widow who lived alone Two men have been ordered to serve at least 25 years in jail for the murder of a 91-year-old woman in her home.
Patrick Docherty, 41, and Brendan Dixon, 36, were found guilty of killing Margaret Irvine in Galston, Ayrshire, during a botched robbery in 2003.
Lord Hardie said the "wickedly reckless and truly evil" crime was "beyond the comprehension of all decent people".
He jailed the pair for life after they were convicted by a jury at the High Court in Kilmarnock.
He ordered that they must serve 25 years before they will be eligible to apply for parole.
The case against a third man, 32-year-old James Miller, was found not proven.

Brendan Dixon had 30 previous convictions
The frail pensioner, who lived alone, was bound and beaten before a duster was shoved in her mouth and a pillowcase pulled over her head.
She was found lying on her bed by her home-help hours after she was murdered on 28 September, 2003.
The four-week trial heard that Docherty and Dixon broke into Mrs Irvine's home on Barward Road, switched off the electricity and struggled with the pensioner.
They then tied her hands behind her back with a belt and punched her on the head and body.
Mrs Irvine died of asphyxiation after a duster was forced into her mouth.
It is time that people realised that it is not for them to call into question or to comment to jurors after a verdict
Lord Hardie
Docherty, of Hillcrest, Bellsbank, Dalmellington, and Dixon, whose address was given as Kilmarnock prison, denied the charges.
Both men lodged special defences of alibi and claimed they were elsewhere at the time of the murder.
Passing sentence, Lord Hardie said: "Your actions defy description and were beyond the comprehension of all decent people."
He said the pair had attacked Mrs Irvine in "the sanctity of her own home" with a view to robbing her of her life savings.
"Such an assault is properly described as wickedly reckless," he said.

Press Coverage

2007-07-13T16:01:00.001-07:00

The following press coverage shows conclusively that the DNA and Footprint found in this case does not match any of the Accused.
Strange how Crown want to rely on such evidence to convict but when the shoe is on the other foot the evidence of DNA and Foootprints not matching is cast aside?

Nephew of tragic Margaret angry at bid to free jail duo
Mar 9 2007
THE nephew of a murdered pensioner has slammed a campaign to free the men convicted of her killing.
Charles Keers was living next door to his 91-year-old aunt, Margaret Irvine, in Barward Road, Galston, when she was killed in September 2003 in what is thought to have been a botched robbery attempt.
And he was himself a witness in the High Court trial which led to two Ayrshire men being jailed for life.
Patrick Docherty, 43, of Dalmellington, and Brendan Dixon, 38, of Kilmarnock, were each ordered to serve a minimum of 25 years after a jury found them guilty of murder.
A murder charge against a third man — Colin Miller, 34, from Galston — was found not proven.
Now a campaign — backed by the Miscarriage of Justice Organisation — has been launched to have the two released.
But Mr Keers, 50, said that he was convinced that they were guilty.
“I have absolutely no doubt whatsoever,” he said. “I am 100 per cent certain.”
Mr Keers, who still lives in Galston, said that a leaflet produced by the campaigners, titled ‘Free the Kilmarnock 2’, had left him “annoyed and upset”.
“They even sent one to my local pub,” he said. “People were afraid to tell me because they knew I would be upset.”
Mr Keers was himself extensively questioned after the murder.
“I have no problem with that,” he said, “they had to cover every angle.”
The leaflet issued by campaigners for Dixon and Docherty claims the case against them was “based on hearsay and circumstantial evidence”.
Much of the key prosecution evidence during the five-week trial at the High Court in Kilmarnock consisted of admissions Dixon and Docherty were alleged to have made to third parties.
No forensic evidence was found which could be linked to any of the accused.
The co-founder of the Miscarriage of Justice Organisation, John McManus, said: “I have serious doubts about this case. I normally wouldn’t be so quick to jump in, but I do think these guys are innocent.”
And Kevin Donald claimed that there was fresh evidence in the case, which is expected to go to appeal in May or June.

The above appeal has been postponed because of the lack of and refusal of Crown to disclose Key evidence not heard at original trial.
There is a time set for a hearing for disclosure which again delays the Appeal date somewhat and in the meantime two Innocent men languish in Prison

Lord Hardie's Critical Report

[this is some words out of lord hardies report] examination of the scene by police officers, forensic scientists and the pathologist disclosed that the electricity had been switched off at the main switch located in a kitchen cupboard . the kitchen was the first room to which access was obtained after entering the unlocked side door of the house. the telephone downstairs had also been disconnected and the zimmer, which was always located at the foot of the stairs to enable mrs irvine to use it there when she came of the stair lift, had been moved away from the area so it could not be used in those circumstances. each of the rooms showed signs of an intruder or intruders having opened drawers and jewellery boxes and having moved items. althought the intruders had been in each room of the house there was a locked wardrobe in the spare room. police officers found a key for this wardrobe and upon opening it discovered a bag containing a pink make up bag, an envelope and a cardboard holder each of which contained sums of money. in total there was £8,150. mrs irvine it was stated was robbed 6 weeks before and anything of importance was stolen. as i have stated on this forum police found purses under a slab in a garden in galston, one of which belonged to mrs irvine from the first robbery in july. also stated is brendans willingness to take a lie detector test, there are many witnesses never called to give evidence that could have undermined the crowns case.

Legal ruling set to delay city courts

HUNDREDS of cases at Scotland's busiest district court could be delayed following a legal ruling over the failure of prosecutors to disclose statements to defence lawyers.
At Glasgow District Court Stipendiary Magistrate Alan Findlay ordered the procurator fiscal to hand over statements and police notebooks in an assault and breach of the peace trial.
Stirling defence lawyer Virgil Crawford had argued the failure to do so, despite repeated requests, had breached the human rights of the two accused men.

This week, after hearing extensive legal arguments, Stipendiary Magistrate Findlay ruled the defence lawyer was entitled to see the missing statements, police notebooks and details of previous convictions of witnesses.
He ordered the prosecution to produce them "without delay", but granted them leave to appeal.
The trial of the two accused, which should have been heard this month, has been put off until October 10.
Afterwards, Mr Crawford said: "Disclosure is happening in every district court except Glasgow.
"Here, the procurator fiscal's attitude is that if the prosecution has to work with the same statements from the police as the defence, what does it matter?
"That is not good enough. Under European Human Rights legislation the Crown is obliged to hand over all statements to the defence, particularly if they are requested.
"The implication of the ruling is that if every lawyer takes this particular human rights point he or she will win it, so trials could be further delayed for months while disclosure is carried out."
Earlier this year, when told the Crown had not handed over statements in a murder case, High Court judge, Lord Hardie, described the failure as an "act of defiance" and threatened to hold Lord Advocate Elish Angiolini in contempt of court.

Murder suspects freed on bail after Crown's witness statement error
ARNOT MCWHINNIE
FOUR brothers accused of murder were freed on bail yesterday after the Crown failed to provide more than 100 witness statements to the defence.
The High Court in Glasgow heard that some of the 121 statements, which remained undisclosed by prosecutors until the trial began, could have been of major importance.

The judge, Lord Bracadale, called a temporary halt to the proceedings and set the four brothers free on bail pending a new trial early next year.
Friends and relatives of 29-year-old Michael Lynch, of Kennedar Drive, Linthouse, who was allegedly stabbed to death by the four brothers and another man who was already on bail, were furious as the accused walked from court.
A family friend, who asked not to be named, said: "It is beyond belief that a mistake by the Crown should allow the four accused, who have been in custody on a murder charge since the end of June, to be freed.
"They will doubtless enjoy a better Christmas dinner than they would have in custody."
Yesterday's case was the third murder trial in a few weeks to hit the buffers for the same non- disclosure reasons.
The problem was first identified last month in a trial before Lord Hardie, who made a legal order requiring the Crown to hand all statements in the case to the defence team within 24 hours. When the Crown failed to do so, the furious judge threatened to hold Scotland's new Lord Advocate, Elish Angiolini, QC, in contempt of court for what he described as an "apparent act of defiance".
He was told that the Crown had no failsafe system of checking statements to be disclosed.
Yesterday, Lord Bracadale - who had earlier described the Crown's failings as "lamentable" - told the jury who had sat since last week without hearing any evidence that they were being discharged. He said: "Statements are usually disclosed at an early stage well before the trial.
"In this case, there has been a serious breakdown in arrangements and a vast amount of material has been produced by the Crown after the start of the trial."
He told jurors: "The experience is likely to leave you with a poor view of our criminal justice system in operation, but it is rare for cases to go as badly off the rails as this case did."
The prosecutor, Peter Hammond, revealed that a working party involving police and Crown officials was currently trying to develop a new system to ensure disclosure in all future cases.
The five men accused of murdering Mr Lynch near his home on June 23 this year are Christopher Donohoe, 16, and brothers Craig Hulley, 21, Graham, 19, Mark, 18, and Andrew, 16. In granting them bail, Lord Bracadale ordered that the brothers were tagged and under curfew between the hours of 7pm and 7am.

Crucial Key Witnesses Not Called At Trial

2007-06-23T13:01:00.000-07:00

free the killie 2 witnesses not called: acquaintances of brendan's neither preconised nor sited.essentially brendan's previous legal representatives decided that the testimony these witnesses might have to offer was not important. brendan on the other hand believed and still believe, that their evidence as to his whereabouts and demeanour on sunday 28th september, 2003 would flatly contradict the evidence as to my behaviour on that morning offered by lee sheville. at the time both these witnesses contacted the police but the police never took a statement from them, evidence to be challenged: toni wallace: omitted an important fact.two visitors called at her house on sunday 28th september, 2003 toni stated that brendan remained in her house until 5pm on that sunday.yet brendan was watching, with lee, from the green bridge, whilst the visitors were indoors with toni. neither lee nor toni mentioned the visitors presence when interviewed or during the course of their evidence. the visitors were in the house when i was supposedly in the house.i returned to the house after the visitors had departed.shortly thereafter brendan and another person left, leaving lee and toni. their evidence against brendan was not strictly accurate. this is a poem sent to paddy hill, from a girl called:sarah hardy
for so long you have been crying out.
unlike liberty, dignity cannot be denied.
at times it must feel that no one is on your side.
is it because they cannot hear, or will they just not listen?
for so long, injustice has been triumphant,
while staring them in the face have been six innocent men.
when will this nightmare end? they use the word justice.
this cannot be. if justice had been declared you would be free.
There are many unsolved murders in scotland ,there are many innocent men and women in scottish prisons.
Free them all now SNP

Some Very Important Details

2007-06-17T13:10:00.000-07:00

Some other points of the free the killie 2 case evidence given in court
1:witness Martin Robertson stated in Court. A: he needed his glasses to read his statement. Martin does not wear glasses. b:he said the only reason he gave a statement was to get out on bail.
2: witness Hayden McGonigle was proven in court to have lied. he claimed to have met Patrick Docherty and had a conversation with him, he said Patrick had his hair dyed, he asked what is with the hair pat? pat replied DNA you know. Patrick was in police custody when this conversation was alleged to have taken place.
3: Witness Edward O' brien stated he spoke to Patrick in a back street and that Patrick was looking pale and dodgy.
4: Witness Joseph Leaper stated in court: that Brendan admitted that he was in Mrs Irvine's home, however he did not have time to rob Mrs Irvine because he had to runaway to go and argue with his ex-girlfriend, however there were other witnesses present to say that this conversation did not take place, However,they were not called to court and their evidence was not Heard.
5: Witness Andrew Hay stated in court that he heard that Patrick Docherty, Colin Miller and another man had committed the robbery. He said Patrick was up stairs trying to bite the rings off Mrs Irvine's fingers. Patrick was making too much noise, Colin miller shouted wait and i will show you what to do. It was proven in court that Mrs Irvine's fingers had not been bitten. It was also proven that Patrick Docherty has got false teeth.
Surely if true then this would have left Forensic Evidence like Saliva?
6: Witness Patricia Greening a patient from Crosshouse Hospital stated in court: That she met Brendan in the hospital while he took time out because his mother was dying from cancer, and he had spilt up with his girlfriend. Ms Greening said that Brendan told her he had stabbed someone “17 Times” The prosecution said take away the “17 times” and a murder has been Committed.
7: There were many witnesses not called to court who could have cleared Brendan and Patrick. Why Weren't they Called?
8: Many of the witnesses above had been brought from police custody to give evidence.
Free the killie2 and all the innocent Men and Women in Brittish Prisons. And give William Beck a fair appeal.

Crown Disclosure

Despite the above two articles saying documents should be released crown are still withholding evidence pertinent to the Appeal of Brendan and Pat.
SCCRC had to take action against Crown Office in the cases of Campbell And Steele for the release of crown documents. See the result at:

Where Is Justice

2007-05-28T14:03:00.000-07:00

Brendan Dixon Serving Life in prison for Murdering Margaret Irvine along With Patrick Docherty who were not friends and did not hang about with each other, Yet they both stood trial and were convicted of murder and sentenced to 25 years.
At one stage the police enquiry were ready to DNA everyone in Galston yet this ceased when they arrested the two above, even though their DNA does not match the DNA found at the murder scene nor the Footprint found.
Brendans family knew he was Innocent as he was with them at the time the murder was supposed to have happened and were willing to give evidence to this effect but were not called to do so Why?

THE TRIAL: ON TUESDAY MARCH 1ST 2005 AT KILMARNOCK HIGH COURT BRENDAN DIXON AND PATRICK DOCHERTY WERE BOTH FOUND GUILTY OF THE MURDER OF MARGARET IRVINE.BOTH MEN WERE GIVEN LIFE SENTENCES FOR A CRIME THAT THEY DID NOT COMMIT. COLIN MILLER THE THIRD ACCUSED WAS FOUND NOT PROVEN.THERE WAS NO EVIDENCE IN THE CASE. THE CASE WAS BASED ON HEARSAY AND CIRCUMSTATIAL EVIDENCE. THE POLICE RECOVERED DNA AND FOOTPRINTS FROM THE MURDER SCENE THAT DO NOT BELONG TO ANY OF THE ACCUSED. A NUMBER OF KEY WITNESSES,WHO ARE NO STRANGERS TO POLICE HAD THEMSELVES BEEN QUESTIONED ABOUT THE MURDER. SEVERAL OF THESE WITNESSES AGAINST BRENDAN AND PATRICK WERE PROVEN IN COURT TO HAVE LIED WHILE GIVING EVIDENCE. THE MURDER: ON SUNDAY SEPTEMBER 28TH 2003, 91 YEAR OLD GALSTON WOMAN MARGARET IRVINE WAS MURDERED. SHE WAS FOUND BY HER CARER AT 4.50 PM SHE HAD BEEN GAGGED AND HAD HANDS TIED BEHIND HER BACK WITH A BELT. THE CAUSE OF DEATH WAS ASPHYXIA DUE TO HER CHOCKING ON THE DUSTER THAT HAD BEEN PLACED IN HER MOUTH. MRS IRVINE WAS LAST SEEN ALIVE AT 7.OO AM BY THE CARER WHO CAME IN TO MAKE HER BREAKFAST. SHE INSTRUCTED THE CARER TO LEAVE THE DOOR UNLOCKED TO ENABLE OTHERS TO GAIN ENTRY. MRS IRVINE WAS DESCRIBED AS BEEN MENTALLY ALERT ALTHOUGH SHE WAS HOUSEBOUND. ON OCTOBER 31ST 2003 BRENDAN DIXON AND PATRICK DOCHERTY WERE BOTH CHARGED WITH THE MURDER OF MARGARET IRVINE. COLIN MILLER WAS CHARGED ALMOST A YEAR LATER. THE ORIGINAL SUSPECT HOWEVER WAS COLIN MILLER,WHO MET BRENDAN DIXON IN KILMARNOCK HMP, (COLIN MILLER WAS IN FOR A WEEK FOR NON-PAYMENT OF FINES AND BRENDAN DIXON WAS IN FOR SMASHING HIS EX-GIRLFRIENDS WINDOWS);COLIN MILLER WAS ATTACKED BY CONS WHIST IN PRISON FOR HIS PART IN THE MURDER.BRENDAN DIXON TRIES TO REASSURE HIM BY TELLING HIM THE POLICE WERE ALSO PUTTING HIM AND PATRICK DOCHERTY FORWARD AS SUSPECTS AND MANY OTHER KNOWN CRIMINALS. AS SOON AS HE GOT RELEASED FROM PRISON COLIN MILLER WENT TO THE POLICE AND MADE A THIRD STATEMENT, ONLY THIS TIME HE SAYS HE SAW BRENDAN DIXON AND PATRICK DOCHERTY, IN CATHERINE DRIVE, WHICH HE CHANGES IN A FOURTH STATEMENT TO SEEING THEM OUTSIDE MRS IRVINE'S HOUSE. COLIN MILLER THEN BECOMES CHIEF WITNESS, THAT IS UNTIL ALMOST A YEAR LATER WHEN THE PF REALISES THAT COLIN MILLER COULDN'T HAVE SEEN ANYONE FROM WHERE HE STATES,AND EVENTUALLY AFTER TEN MONTHS IS CHARGED WITH MRS IRVINE'S MURDER;BUT ONLY AFTER BEING THE ONLY WITNESS CLAIMING TO HAVE SEEN BRENDAN AND PATRICK AT THE SCENE OF CRIME. COLIN MILLER WAS THE ONLY WITNESS THAT CLAIMED TO HAVE SEEN BRENDAN AND PATRICK NEAR THE SCENE ON THE MORNING OF THE MURDER. IT WAS PROVEN IN COURT THAT COLIN MILLER COULD NOT HAVE SEEN BRENDAN OF PATRICK FROM THE LOCATION THAT HE CLAIMED TO HAVE BEEN AT. COLIN MILLER WAS THE ONLY PERSON SPOTTED NEAR THE SCENE THAT MORNING.MRS PATON A NEIGHBOUR OF MRS IRVINE,STATED IN COURT THAT SHE WAS UP EARLY THAT SUNDAY MORNING. SHE LOOKED OF HER WINDOW AND SEEN COLIN MILLER THREE TIMES, AT 6.00 AM , 6.40 AM, AND AGAIN AT 7.00 AM. HOWEVER WITNESSES FOR COLIN MILLER STATED IN COURT THAT HE SPENT THE SATURDAY NIGHT AT THEIR HOUSE. THEY STATED THAT HE DID NOT LEAVE THEIR HOUSE UNTIL 7.50 AM ON THE MORNING OF THE MURDER. LATER THAT MORNING COLIN MILLER WAS AR ANOTHER FRIENDS HOUSE. AFTER RECEIVING A TEXT MESSAGE, AROUND 10 AM COLIN MILLER WENT OUTSIDE TO MAKE A PHONE CALL. SHORTLY AFTER HE RETURNED TO THE HOUSE, HE WAS IN A RAGE AND HIT HIS FRIEND ON THE HEAD AND FACE WITH A HAMMER. ANOTHER NEIGHBOUR OF MRS IRVINE WAS MRS MC CARTNEY,IN COURT SHE STATED, AT AROUND 10AM SHE HEARD A MALE VOICE SHOUTING ARE YOU THERE? SHE LOOKED OUT HER WINDOW AND SEEN A MALE FROM THE BACK STANDING IN THE KITCHEN OF THE MURDER SCENE.SHE ALSO STATED THAT SHE NOTICED A MALE STANGER PASSING BY HER HOUSE EARLY ON THE MORNING OF THE MURDER. BOTH BRENDAN AND PATRICK HAD SEPERATE ALIBIS TO STATE THAT THEY WERE NO WHERE NEAR THE GALSTON VICINITY ON THE MORNING OF SUNDAY 28 TH SEPTEMBER 2003, WHEN MRS IRVINE WAS MURDERED. IF CAPITAL PUNISHMENT WAS STILL CARRIED OUT IN BRITAIN TODAY, A LOT OF INNOCENT MEN AND WOMEN WOULD NOT BE ALIVE TO TELL THEIR STORIES OF POLICE CORRUPTION, AND UNDERHAND DEALINGS IN THE JUDICIAL SYSTEM! NO JUSTICE HAS BEEN DONE FOR MARGARET IRVINE OR HER FAMILY. GALSTON IS A SMALL COMMUNITY; AND THE MURDERS OF MARGARET IRVINE MUST BE KNOWN TO SOMEONE IN THE AREA.
