what did FFs message say?

Not a great deal really, he expressed sympathy and was interested in the alleged mark on CB, could she describe it in detail, would she be willing to share details of the investigation , would she be willing to speak to him in Confidentiality. FF wants the right man convicted he says its not his client .The e mail was not a photo copy but JCs version of it with no date stamp.

Looked like it was written by a 9 year old , very unprofessional and quite possibly illegal .

I think that until it's proven CB was the person who raped HaB then she is treated as a witness. As such, the defence can approach her but she does have the right to decline to assist them (the defence). It's not illegal but not the norm. I think FF has trodden on a fine line between witness intimidation and a need for help for his client.

Is it known whether it was sent prior to or after the charges were laid.

Is it known whether it was sent prior to or after the charges were laid.

It was sent in August 2020 according to OP article, citing HaB's lawyer Gabriella Rieke, so well before charges were laid.

I'm not sure I agree with that. She wasn't a witness when he corresponded with her. It would have been out of order had he approached her after the rape charge had been made against CB but prior to that, I don't think it's a big deal. It wasn't as if he was threatening her or making demands on her, merely asking for clarity re the account of her attack that she herself had put in the public domain.

He asked for the investigation files. Quite different from her account that was in the public domain.

I know, I read what he's alleged to have written to HaB. I'm still not seeing the problem. He's CB's lawyer, his client, courtesy of HCW claims, is seen widely as responsible for the abduction and murder of MM. With nothing to show for it on HCW's part after 4 years.

Is that fair play? Morally acceptable? No. So let's not cherry pick here as to whose behaviour is morally acceptable and whose is not. HCW set the 'moral' tone here. Let's not forget that.

Were they even her's to give ?

 

[RichardKimble]

I think the author is bigging it up, journalistic licence, what was it he wrote, perma tanned FF turned a shade of violet? seriously ?

The article doesn't mention that the VW camper was at the Dragon Festival-Orgiva,Spain, which ran from 16-19 March 2007

I take it no one proof reads the article before it's printed, and he wants to be taken seriously ?


Finally, it’s known he was on the move inland on the night of April 3 when Maddie vanished.
