(1) have taken this case
Message 28784338
several steps forward w/i the past 72 hours, by
(i) spoke to the police face-to-face, making available 2 out of 6 witnesses and pointing the way to the other 2 witnesses (the 5th is my daughter, who has been interested enough to follow the case and actually read the various case presentations, and police reports
(ii) reminded the police and via the police the doj that ... i to am a witness, and one with no criminal record, and for that matter, no civil legal record
(iii) submitted a follow-up letter from dada to the police, and via the police eventually to the department of justice that in no uncertain but indirect terms that specified their viable way forward and the only acceptable interim outcomes in alignment with the high court pronouncement that "the conviction is unsatisfactory and quashed" ruling
the letter explains in real and noble terms why the case is important for hong kong, and why a public-spirited resident chose to expend usd 49,677 to defend the earlier and quashed case related to alleged marks on an old car that no police forensic photo picks up but all chose to 'believe' is there
the govt losing my appeal of original conviction has already cost tax payers usd 14,199, and will likely cost an additional usd 35,483, plus lots of time all around
as events turned out and are clear enough at this stage, that the entire daisy chain of prosecution witness (husband), police statement filers (husband and wife team), the doj prosecutor office, and the magistrate judge have collectively enabled a crime costing several hundred thousand hkd (usd 49,677) in hard cost backed by receipts from lawyer plus 100+ hours of time due to (and leave the multiple choice question to them for answer, but one step at a time)
(a) job well-done (b) negligence (c) incompetence (d) bias (e) criminal conspiracy
(2) my intent is to
(i) punish people who nastily make false police statements after they selfishly block mile-long traffic on a hot public holiday and subsequently commit perjury in court
(ii) teach investigative techniques to the police, and instruct them in exercise of due care
(iii) tutor the doj and its prosecutors to never again present a case where there is no physical evidence and only supposedly 'one said two said' but actually could be '5 said two said + logic, math, and social policy prerogatives)
(iv) guide the magistrate judge that 'feel' does not cut it in law, and it is not okay to publicly pronounce that he did not know traffic rules given that he is not a drive, then to pass the absurd utterance that parking lots block traffic, drivers do not block traffic, and that deliberately blocking public traffic is not an offense
(v) teach erita how to win, at least in case where a minor traffic incident (some driver got shoo-ed away by public-spirited dada) got expanded by the true perps into a criminal damage case (alleged damage usd 155 + fine upon conviction usd 194) and where the police, prosecutor and the judge all clearly failed to do their jobs
where now what we are talking about is a quashed conviction plus a high court pronouncement of dissatisfaction w/ the case, and golly, due to lower court judge's specific reliance on an earlier and particularly specified lie that heretofore warranting no attention even if such was clearly a mistake by the system, now we have filed 2 complaints of filing false police report and 1 complaint of perjury, with possible 7-years jail term for perjury plus a possible usd 645,000 fine
we have proven our case re the complaints
we are now making sure that no one, absolutely no one, takes the cases lightly, by making our stance very extremely clear
that we would not give up the case that we would expend all efforts and resources to hold those accountable accountable as we deem right that we want to see vindication, justice, and a right justice system for freedom hong kong
should all go according to road map, said to erita that it is unlikely that the perps would ever again block traffic, and file false police statements, and commit perjury, and
it is unlikely that the individuals of the system would be careless in any future apparent 'one said one said' incident.
the young coconut, not yet 9 but tested to read at 15 years level, really dug into dada's color and bound power point presentations (for each case, 40+ pages of slides + police statements, court transcripts and paper trail of letters) and asked questions.
bottom line: (i) the perps can admit guilt and cover me for damages to date (ii) the perps can fight in court against the doj and spend perhaps usd 193k if using private lawyers or usd -0- if using public defender (iii) should the perps fail to be convicted, will have expended time and effort and possibly cash (iv) should the perps be convicted and stay convicted, will have expended time and effort and serious cash (v) regardless of any of above, the system remain w/i my sight because it would still be proven that the perps story is not as in reality
we, the righteous and of the faith, must make the absolute best use of each apparent calamity, and to the righteous max.
the wronged must be vindicated, and the wrong-doers must be taught
two eyes, two ears, a nose, and several teeth
of the old faith, that justice is cold and must remain cold
vindication be my witness |
