The truth behind my brother's convictions
I was very disappointed to learn of the performance by Mary Monson Solicitor’s at my brother’s second trial in 2016. His first being in 2014. Unfortunately even though we didn’t know it at the time, it is illegal for the same judge to chair two trials with the same defendant with similar charges, especially charges that bring custodial sentence’s, but instead of acting professionally and raising objections to stopping the trial, Mary Monson Solicitors (whom were easily influenced by both the Jimmy Saville scandal and the ongoing war with the British government over legal aid payments), just stood back and let the judge continue intimidating and bully their client. My brother was given 6 years. They also advised him not to appeal, which later transpired, was so that he wouldn’t discover the illegality of the 2016 trial. Unfortunately it is too late to do anything about it because in 2018 my brother died in prison. When I wrote to Mary Monson Solicitors (several times) requesting that they not only explain their actions but to justify them, they’re only response has been through my review with Trustpilot in which they object that my brother ‘didn’t complain of bad service’. Rhetorical Question: How does a solicitor explain inaction when the judge has gone ‘vigilante’?
