Lindsay R. Kennard
I haven't posted much on TM but yes it has gone nasty just a bit of the rails, I simply struggle with how some can believe what they post it so off the scale, its starting at the other side again. It was just a bit of light relief for me as I have worked extensively on R v Watson but a nut case arrived on that with wild and wacky scenarios, but have stepped back at Chris Watsons request.

I as far as possible avoid the Scott Watson Thread as there is an ongoing police investigation into breaches of suppression involved in some of the posts made. The real strange thing is Trademe will not remove them even though they face prosecution for contempt as well and complaints have been made to Trademe by the people named, Keith and Chris. Also Chris asked me to not reply to things there as things are moving but moving slowly, I would have though a conviction for contempt of court would be serious for a media company. So I can only surmise that the threat of a defamation where there is at best a 50/50 chance is more terrifying than the 100% chance of conviction if the Solicitor General authorises charges of contempt or if the police decide to lay informations on breaches of suppression of names and evidence. There are some 16 breaches none have been removed. Explain to me why?

I don't read it but I do respect the right to privacy of Chris and Bev Watson who have tried everything to stop RdB posting information from stolen files. This has been doing on at various sites for close on 10 years. He has been contacting the Hope family with screwball ideas they, the Smarts and the Watson have been at times traumatised by the hairbrained things he has done and said. An illegal copy was made of a Department of Courts CD was made which had been legitimately with a third person with the stipulation no copies were to be made as the CD contains full files of suppressed names and documents from Scott's trial. The one thing RdB does not have it the information about which names or files are suppressed. He has been asked time and time again to stop using the material as it breaches suppressions and Copyright. He says he answers to a higher Authority God, quite frankly that is a load of heifer dust as the Authority he claims is not in the habit of requiring the law to be broken in fact exactly the opposite There is a command to obey those in authority over you in the world. I have taken the time to explain so you can understand why some get very upset at the continual refusal to abide by Chris Watson's request to all stop posting about the matter at this time as inquiries are under way after the GG petition, there are at least two IPCA inquiries under way, Chris just does not have the time to keep looking on line for breaches of suppression as he is the one ultimately responsible to ensure the CD was protected and he could face criminal charges as well. Not all publicity is good publicity.

By my count that's at least 3 times Kennard was asked to shut his yap - because it was doing no good, but he had to keep going showing what a great 'supporter' he was and impress others with insider knowledge and 'lawyering.'
The third example you show also indicates that Linz was aware of the restrictions and copyright protection of Court documents, and yet, he supported the use of illegal copies of the Bain transcripts by the J4RB members. Another of his double standards.
ReplyDeleteYes one of the evident complexities of the troubled man. He claims to have had three failed marriages to violent women, spent time in psychiatric hospitals, been abused as a youth or child by an older woman - it goes on and on, but none of it excuses his behaviour and I doubt it would ever be held that his contribution to the Bain debate has been anything more than self-rightous and down right sick.
ReplyDeleteYour point is clear, he readily uses the tools he often (wrongly) denounces in others.
