Simon Sheppard Race Trial Update

Simon and his co-defendant appeared at Beverley Magistrate's court on Friday September 29th. The need for this appearance was for pre-trial committal to a higher court for, as the Prosecution said (a strange sounding gentleman who for some reason kept putting his hand down the back of his trousers - perhaps nerves over this travesty of a trial?) - because only a higher court could impose the new maximum penalty of SEVEN YEARS for Race Trial cases!

Simon made the telling point that the Crown Persecution Service had had over sixteenth months to prepare their case, whilst Simon who is defending himself and his co-defendant, Luke O'Farrell had a mere two months in what is a watershed and highly complex case. Needless to say the nodding dog lackey magistrates refused Simon's application for an adjournment and also ignored Simon's statement that most of the goods seized by the Race Police on two previous raids were of no bearing to the case and also hampered not only his small business but also his defence. These pleas were as usual ignored. The case was sent up to Crown Court and an initial date set for Monday 23rd October.

Simon Sheppard faces ten counts under the obnoxious Race Act of 1984 and Luke two counts. Nine of Comrade Shepard's counts are FOR THE FIRST TIME IN BRITISH LEGAL HISTORY relating to publication on the Internet only on a server based in American and protected by the First Amendment to the US Constitution. Only one charge relates to written material - the publication and distribution of the excellent "Holohoax News". We will keep site visitors informed of all updates and the progress of this highly important trial. Donations are urgently needed - check out http://www.heretical.com/donate.html
