disclosure,

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

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

First Minister & Justice Department "What A Joke"

In response to my letters of complaint, Clearly this response shows that our Justice Department clearly Are Not Interested.

Dear Mr Donald
Thank 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 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. If this is not your area police force, you can find further information at http://www.scottish.police.uk/mainframe.htm
Alternatively, you may wish to contact the Area Procurator Fiscal if you suspect that a police officer has behaved in a corrupt manner. Details of the Procurator Fiscal Service in your area can be gathered by visiting the following hyperlink: http://www.crownoffice.gov.uk/About/Departmental-Overview/Area-Procurator-Fiscal/APFIndex
I hope this reply is helpful.
Yours sincerely
