The Strange Case Of The Law will begin on Wednesday 20 June on BBC Four at 9.00pm – 10.00pm.
I wonder whether this chaplain turned barrister believes as much in the Rule of Law as all victims do.
Except that they have experienced mainly that the Rule of Law was replaced by the Rule of Money and the Abuse of Power… After his latest court appearance, Colin Peters said
“This is not justice. This is only a money making racket.”
He expected to be arrested for ‘contempt of court’. But the staff seemed to agree by leaving him alone…

Here’s the article in The Telegraph and here’s the original report by Transparency International, the global coalition against corruption. Its 2-year study Money, Politics, Power: Corruption Risks in Europe makes nine headline recommendations for the UK and can be read online here.
The most pertinent ones I can subscribe to from my observation of victims of white collar crimes:
- in the Judiciary corruption is ‘very strong’ and the worst of all institutions analysed
- given the links between overseas corruption and corruption with the uK, the role of the Government’s Anti-Corruption Champion (ACC) should be extended to cover corruption within the UK. The ACC should provide an annual report to Parliament
- a high-level response is needed to tackle corruption more effectively
- politicians, government, business and institutions throughout the UK urgently need to understand and accept that corruption is a problem in key sectors
- NHS, social housing and prison service are mentioned specifically, besides sports!

NEWS RELEASE 02 June 2012
Victims Unite[i] is a website dedicated to being a voice for victims of financial exploitation and legal oppression. It opened in August 2010 and has had over 109,000 visits since.
This week, Wood Green Court will unite one of the worst bankruptcies and the worst of all child snatching cases.
One of the earliest cases published was Mr Ebert’s bankruptcy[ii], in book form as The Forensics of Legal Fraud[iii]. It is believed to be one of the worst in terms of financial value and legal cover-up.
Mr Ebert’s trial will take place in Wood Green Crown Court: on Wednesday, 6th and Thurssay, 7th June, at 10.15am, Court 8 with Judge Ader and two Magistrates. It brings to light astonishingly negligent (if not criminal) behaviour of major institutions that we rely on to feel secure in our homes.
Every person in the UK can potentially be affected by the outcome of this trial. For it will either acknowledge or bury the solid evidence that this Litigant in Person is bringing into Court to test the “beyond reasonable doubt” Rule of Law that needs to be applied in criminal court cases.

It took one shock after the other:
- whilst being “on remand”, they are treated as if they were convicted criminals
- they are not being ‘produced’ in the right court at the right time
- the criminal proceedings are artificially being drawn out
- the civil proceedings were hoping to get the children adopted while the parents are in prison…
Statistics show what the Musas are experiencing is far from a one-off exception, even though their case is acknowledge to be the most evil and corrupt one:

So far, I called them ‘victims turned starfighters’ and they will all have acted as McKenzie Friend in that learning process.
Now Belinda McKenzie (!) came up with the idea of an Association of McKenzie Friends to give ‘public interest advocacy’ more clout and presence in the legal process.
Maurice Kirk experiences the loopholes in the law in prison as a litigant in person. The Musas have been criminalised by Haringey Council after they kidnapaped their six children and have very similar experiences in prison:
- not being ‘produced’ by the prison staff for court hearings
- not being able to meet court deadlines when McKenzie Friends are not allowed legal visits to take documents in and out of prison
- not being able to type and photocopy documents.

McKenzie Friends are ‘amateur lawyers’ who help and support Litigants in Person.
When Maurice Kirk asked for support in the courtroom, blogger Angela suggested we need “guardian angels”.
Hence McKenzie Angels were created as labels for those helpful humans who come for moral and / or legal support.
A comment from Paulette Cooper:
A large angel with scales of justice in one hand stood behind a victim which has his head in his hands in despair comes to mind for a drawing. Angel’s other hand on his shoulder and a pile of court docs on a desk in front of him/her.
Maybe a better idea still would be if those McKenzie Angels could come to a consensus on how to tackle the most common problems in law, maybe even have those in some written ‘fact sheets’ ready to send to victims to do with the most common issues and that each new victim could be connected with their own McKenzie Angel who would be there to help them find a way through the mire.
