Thank you for your letter Dated 25 september 07 ref no (2724/2007) of which am so very gratfull that you have taken time to read it and reply with the possibilty of maybe able to help in this matter.I realise that you are guilded by what you can actually do in this situation and i respect everything you have outline in the letter.you stated you needed more imfo on how this judge spoke to my self and family in detail of which i am now able to give you an account of his vile behavor towards us.(1)the judge throughout the trail appeared to show a bias against my family and this gave a clear indication of favouritism towards thomas baldwin which in my opinion was clearly shown in the sentence.(2) my self and family were warned by the judge on two occasions during the trail as we couldnt help but show emotions at the distressing evidence given by witnesses. and the judge directly to myself and other members of the family said he was not going to tolerate any emotions in his court?(3) when the jury returned with a not guilty verdict for murder, the judge remarked to the jury that he agreed with their decision, i feel the judge should have remained impartial and made no such comment on their verdict.(4)on the day of sentence the judge instructed the clerk of the court to put my family out in the publice gallery and the defendants family into the well of the court, this was clearly upsetting for all of us as we had been in the well of the court throughtout the hole trail,it was only resolved when the police and witness liaison made representations to the judge.(5)when the jury were deliberating on the murder charge the judge took it upon himself to call the jury back into the court in under two and a halfhours and he then instructed them that he was willing to take a mayority decision.I strongly feel in such a serious case as murder the jury should have had more time to consider the murder charge and felt they were being pressured by the judge to come to a hasty decision in which they did by comming back with manslaugther.(6)the judge stated before passing sentence that he could find no mitigating cirumstances that would increase thomas baldwins sentence, He stated that he saw it as A (single blow), Manslaugther.in saying this judge has totally accepted what the defendant said when he gave evidence for him self in the witness box???,and that of the incidence and appeares to have disreguarded completely what evidence some of the witnesses had given. (7) EXAMPLES (A) baldwin at the startof the incident admitted attacking my brother without provocation and said he remembered only punching my brother, yet many witnesses prove diffirent and,said it was a more prolonged attack with him being kicked and punched.(B) my Brother after the initial attack went across a busy dual carriageway in effort escape the assault, the shop keeper of the offlicene phone 999 and my brother sommon help.The shop keeper gave evidence that my brother in state of fear when he requested his help and that was made.(C) Many witnesses said they had seen baldwin sprint across the road and persue my brother on seeing him leave the shop,and attact him yet again,without any provocation,baldwin admitted kicking my brother once to the floor which caused his fatal death.(D) baldwin stated he cross the road to get something to eat after he had been restranged byanother personfor the 1st attact on my brother the man ask him many many times in court if he had carmed down before he let him go baldwin said clearly he had?.Baldin said when my brother came out of the shop my brother told him to (fuck off) this is why he attacted him yet again clearly no evidence from any of the witnesses to support baldwins side, yet this judge beleived baldwins story.(E) in the judge accepting this crap of baldwins account i must note that when baldwin gave evidence he clearly stated that he lied to the police previously not once but twice when interviewed because he had never been in trouble with the police before, he also admitted my brother on that day 12th october 2006 didnt infact say or do anything to him or any one eles,he also ask when questioned what were your intentions he replyed to hurt him.I need to note he admitted lying when completing his defence statment,which was made whist on conditional bail and with his solictor.Baldwin untill he heard all the evidence from all the witnesses had tried to say he had been provoked by my brother but again there was no evidence put to the court duing the hole of the trail.(E) yet another the judge let slip.Lastly the judge also acceptedthat baldwin had shown real remorse while giving evidence to what extent of that remorse of that as what appeared to be pre-rehearsed presentation from baldwin which was this.............BARRISTER :Are you sorry for what you doneBALDWIN: yesBARRISTER: Did you mean to kill Mr DarkBALDWIN : NoPlease tell me how this judge van-der-werff has given justice to my brother and family when clearly with the facts i set before you are all one sided and corrupted.(F)Duing the case u hear many witnesses state that they heard baldwin shout im gonna fucking kill you and how he shouted im gonna kick your fucking head in please tell me how this to wasnt -reason to beleive them from a judges point as after all this is exactally what he did, he was seen to stamp on my brothers head once he was defenceless on the ground.one of the officers in the case has said openly to the news reporters how the judge treated us in the vile way he did.
As i stated in my last Email i am so dicussed with the way this judge has been so vile towards us and the inpact statement i only read part of because even as baldwin had been found guilty the judge refused me to read the part of me saying I hope he is given the highest sentcene for this terrible crime and still the judge took that away from us.madma to lose someone so dear and so loved is hard for any normal family to come to terms with but how can we as a unit move forward knowing full well this judge has gotten away with so much and not by far treated this case as fair he should step down because how many more will he do the same to or more so how many more ppls out there has he delt this to and for many they have no fight left but i will never let this go no matter what it takes i will go on untill someone hears me as if i wasnt sure i wouldnt be pointing the facts that are true about this horrible none conpassion hard hearted judge who added insult to injury and has not given closesure to my family of acted under the law given true accounts of the trail in any way.Please Madam where was correction when baldwin was allowed to play with his mobile phone throughtout the trail txting who he wanted to? and when his mobile went off twice in the court room did the judge not remove his phone its madness yet everyone eles had to leave there phones outside the courtroom.this is fact and the C.P.S made his Barrister and the judge aware of this yet he still remained with his phone in his hand in the witness box when it went off again again nothing was done.I have a point because if it had been one of us we would of been banned from the court after all we cryed and was warned anymore tears and out we go, this isnt justice.If there is anything more i can help you with please contact Again Madam i thank you greatly for your reply and for any help that you can give in this matter ,I hope you will get back to me A.S.A.P with the hopefull news you can help me.Again thank you for your time to read my complaint i really feel strongly there has been ill play on the judges behalf and even if its to late for us it can make a diffirence to another family,Sentcene like this just gives the thugs of today a licence to comitte another tragic crime and another poor family feeling total despair as we do, this judge has wronged my family and thats something we cant deal with untill we have justice Madam how can we move on in life? its all wrong when we beleive in the justice system and get treated like this, i really hope you see my point.AGAIN thank you i look forward to hearing from you many thanks MAXINE DARK
RONNIE
THE=STORY=BEHIND=THE=TRUTH
The facts and truth became our worst nightmare on the day of 12th october 2006, and is there for the rest of our lifes.
My Brother Ronnie Aged (45) at the time and very much at the best peak of his life had his life taken away for what some say being in the wrong place at the wrong time, when infact this isnt the case,he felt safe to go as a normal day to visit his friends like many days months and years as he always did before.
I recall on the morning of the 12th october 2006 feeling somewhat diffirent in myself light headed and my thoughts were all over the place, At the time i put it down to worry of diffirent things going on in my life as well as loseing my father in march the same year to cancer and my grandson the year before.
The morning seem to get the better of me so i took my self back to bed in hope this feeling would clear before my children can home from school.
I rememberd wakeing up around 2.45 that afternoon and i phoned Ronnies number as he was due to pop round as he promise me the night before,
The phone rang and rang so I left a message telling him off (HaHa).
It was 3.55 when my daugther Daisy returned home and she said oh mum i just see UNCEL RONNIE sitting on the Bench,
:IS he ok then I said:
:yes mum: :he was sitting there talking to a woman:
:with who: I asked:
:oh dont no who she was:
I,pick my phone up this was about 4pm and I called his number again it rang and rang and rang,
I didnt understand why he didnt pick up.
That very second I got this strange feeling of panic.
My Friend was hear by this time 4.05 I called Ronnie again but this time the phone rang twice then it cut off,
I called it for the final time it was turned off.
I heard this big bang on the front door whos that I shouted,
(Then my nightmare began)It was the man next door (MAX) something terrible has happend to your Ronnie luv, I think you should make your way to the hosiptal
What do you mean? my mind was runnig so many things I couldnt get my words out,
my friend walked out behind him,
me running hear there and no where,
I heard her say well you got tell her,
Tell me what::::::: Then in slow motion as I recall::::
:I think Ronnies dead:
I dont really remember much its very faint I no I arrived at the hosiptal around 4.45/4.50/ as the hole of the main road A good 2 miles of it was blocked off.
I remember being stop by the police as I was fighting my way into the Recuss room police everywhere trying to hold me back and by this time I had no control over my thoughts, I remember banging open the door fighting to get in the room with police dragging my arm,
Then, to my horror broke down on the floor in a heap, For the bed in front Layed my ronnie so helpless, yet he looked so peacefull.
I new in my heart Ronnie was gone,so many things run throught my mind,
This Doctor came towards me helping me to my feet with my friend,I new the news was comming,
He ask me to come into A room as he wanted to tell me what had happend,
I was some what rude demanding him to tell me there,
I was in total shock,
He managed with the help of my friend to walk me to this room and shut the door behind us.
:Sit down: he said: I remember slumping into this chair shaking from head to toe,
I have some bad news......My head was everywere I couldnt Quite gasp what he was saying I could hear him but he seem a million miles away,
all I could think was how do I tell my mum what has happend to our Ronnie.
We have done a Brain scan as your brother was violently attacked and has had a very bad bang to the head,
which has caused a very large amount of bleeding to the brain, we have sent the results to Another hosiptal for speicalists to over look the results.
I couldnt understand how or why and all I could hear in my mind was the last words Ronnie said to me the night before on the phone,
(see ya tomorrow sis I love you).
Well it was a good hour or so,
(yet it seem like it was days waiting for the results)Before the Doctor came Back into the room,
By this time a good few of my family had heard what happend and were outside waiting to hear how Ronnie was,
Little did they relise the heartache had just begun.
The Doctor returned but this time with Another Doctor and Nurse before they could shut the Door I knew by the look on their faces As they stumbled with the words how to break the bad tragic news to me.
I remember jumping out of the chair before they could get another word in and say :My mum: What am I going to tell my mum,
I ran from the room outside :shouting back:
I have to Ring my mum,
As i walked outside there were so many faces yet in all my confusion I couldnt focus who was who,
I remember trying to put my mums number in the phone yet I couldnt remember her number,
My hole mind was a blank It finally rang and seem so long in Asnwering,
:Hello: :it was my Brother: I felt this big pain in my heart as I said :Graham: its me,
:Whats up luv you want mum:
:No: listen something terribles happend to Ronnie
:What: he knew by the tone of my voice it wasnt good.
:whats happened to Ronnie:
I could hear my mum in the back ground as her voice became clear and loud.
:HIS DEAD:I said
:OH MY GOD NO:
By this time my mum knew something was so terribley wrong before i said another word I heard her voice,
:Max: its mum
:OH MUM:
Before I said another word she said,
:I heard all the police cars:
:Please tell me :MY BOYS OK:
I told my mum please get to the Hosiptal Quickly.
I rang my Aunty her sister and she meet us at the Hosiptal,
We All returned to the Room were the Doctors came and gave us the tragic sad news,
He said the results are not Good the speicalist have told us theres no point moveing Ronnie.
:I am most sorry:
Later, they moved Ronnie to I.C.U were he remained on a Live support Machine
They done two more test called (BRAIN STEM)
That clearly stated he was Brain Dead and in a matter of hours his body would start to such down
They prononced Ronnie Brain Dead At 10.00.PM
And Ronnies last Heart beat was at 1.05am.
