Which I mentioned in the part you, no doubt, conveniently edited
out...
For the benefit of those on poor news servers, here it is again;

That would be, again forgive me if I'm wrong, why
the police charged RC with harassment against you
[PH] and your family then, a charge you allowed to
be dropped IIRC, even investigating comments made
on Usenet and URN, and why the courts ultimately
band RC from accessing Usenet...

: Stop digging Jerry.
Advice you would be well advised to take yourself, because your
very own account backs up my own comments and which you claim I
am wrong in suggesting...
So Duncan, are you now saying that you didn't write and post the
following account (below) of Candlish's trial (March of last
year) to URN and also email it to others direct, no doubt if
Google were to be consulted your original message to URN, and the
follow-up comments, could be found, if you really still can't
recall posting this;

On Monday 14th March 2011, I attended the trial of
Robert Anthony Candlish, by sitting in the public
gallery at Hertford Magistrates Court. The proceedings
were delayed starting as a plea bargain was struck
immediately before the trial was due to start.
[emphases]
Candlish was accused of 8 counts of Criminal Damage
to property belonging to named members of Cambridge
Outdoor Club; of Obstructing a police officer; and of
Criminal Harassment of named members of Cambridge
Outdoor Club.
Initially Candlish had pleaded Not Guilty to all charges,
but in the plea bargaining, he changed his plea to Guilty
on the 8 charges of Criminal Damage, and Obstructing a
police Officer (he had lied to the police during their
investigation), in exchange for the Harassment charges
being dropped. The victims of the alleged harassment
agreed with the Crown Prosecution Service to do this
(though they had a very strong case), principally to save
the family further trauma and publicity by having to give
evidence in open Court about events which have already
caused them great fear and distress for a considerable time.
[/emphases]
The magistrates deferred sentencing until another Court
appearance scheduled for 6th April 2011 at Hertford
Magistrates Court, in order for them to receive "All Officers
Reports". Previous convictions were mentioned, but no
details were given in Court.
Candlish was released on conditional bail. The principle
bail conditions were that Candlish must have no contact
with anyone in the victims' family, must not go to the road
in which they live, he must not mention them in any
publication or internet forum, he must not contact nor
mention any members of Cambridge Outdoor Club, nor
the Club itself; and he must not do any of this under his
own name or under any alias.
(He had similar bail conditions pending this trial, but he
had already breached them more than once).
There were several 'interested observers' in the public
gallery, none of whom were there to support Candlish.
Candlish attended alone, except for his legal aid lawyer.
It would not be appropriate for me to comment further at this
stage, and though, as a Decided Case, this is now a matter of
public record, I would suggest that it is best if others on
URN stay away from it until after sentencing on 6th April.
I am not sure whether I shall attend that hearing, but I
expect someone will notify this group and other interested
parties of the outcome.
