Sacked my solicitor today,they changed their minds,and decided to object to my legal aid transfer.
I just flipped,reported them to the law society,then sent them a fax saying I did not require their representation.Serves them right,instead of Howell & Co I now refer to them as Avarice & Co:laugh:
Sent a fax to warwick crown,saying if they didn't transfer the legal aid bond I'd represent myself.Now considering I know very little about law,have a blood sugar level 10 x the average,and spend a large percentage of my time having suicidal tendancies don't whatever you do bet any money on my chances.
The legal field is not easy to get accustomed to,especially when you're sick,and have no idea how it works.Most accused have never been in this position,and it really is hard to make those decisions that are vital if you're to stand a chance of beating a rotten system.

If there is no evidence against you other than uncorroborated allegation, then the first thing you should do is put to the judge that there is no case to answer, reminding him that a person should be innocent until proven guilty and that if the case proceeds without genuine evidence that a crime has been committed let alone that you are guilty, the court will be ruling that that principal of law no longer exists. They will be shifting the entire burden of proof onto the defence. The judge will be in an awkward position, and so will the entire legal system, because there will be a media presence and much interest in his answer.
If he weedles out of it, for example by saying that it's up to the jury to decide what is evidence, you can remind him that the jury is there to decide on the evidence not create a new definition of the word.
You stand, at present, as an innocent citizen of the United Kingdom who has the right to the presumption of innocence. The prosecution is required by law to provide genuine evidence which proves your guilt. In practice this rarely happens, but on paper it is still a requirement. If the judge orders that the case proceeds without evidence, then you are being denied a fair trial. This should also be pointed out, because many others will find themselves in your position.
The legal system has become sloppy and uncaring. It needs a severe kick up the backside.
