Criminal Prosecution Service CPS trial witness list

On 15 September 1993, the week before my trial started, the CPS (Criminal Prosecution Service) issued a document presenting the list of witnesses who were likely to appear at my trial. Not all these witnesses actually appeared, but what it did show was that the CPS was using some considerable deception to disguise the case they finally presented to the jury. This was a cynical attempt to distort the truth, and to play mind games with the jury. The inevitable result of this approach was that a miscarriage of justice was in the process of being deployed; although at that time how could I have known what an appalling misrepresentation would be employed in the courtroom?

The contents of this witness list is set out below, which was a five page document faxed to Richard Glenister, the man at the CPS who was pulling the strings behind the scenes. The document was faxed to Glenister at telephone number 071 329 8171 on 16 September. The numbers to the right of the names are the page numbers of the statements issued by each witness.
