Guilt Yields

I was going to save this for Exoneration Day on 8 May, the anniversary of my having been declared "exonerated" by His Honour Judge Nathan Adams from the bench of Durham Crown Court. Exonerated of something very specific, but it makes all the difference. Although there will be a lot to discuss on 8 May, be here for that, too.

Meanwhile, since it has once again come up in the comments, I once again invite each and every Member of Parliament for the area covered by Durham County Council, each and every member of Durham County Council, each and every member of Lanchester Parish Council, each and every member of the Board of the Catholic Safeguarding Standards Agency, each and every member of the Hexham and Newcastle Diocesan Safeguarding Committee, each and every member of the Hexham and Newcastle Diocesan Safeguarding Team, and each and every bishop, priest or deacon of the Diocese of Hexham and Newcastle, to contact davidaslindsay@hotmail.com if they thought that I was factually or morally guilty of any criminal charge that had ever been brought against me. Not legally guilty. Factually and morally guilty, in that I had in fact committed any such offence. No name would be published except at the request of its bearer, but if anyone ever did get in touch, then the readers of this site would be the first to know. The current total is zero, as it has been since 28 July 2021.

If asked, Police Officers, Prison Officers and Probation Officers have always said that it was not their question to answer, and they have never, ever volunteered a belief in my guilt. To say the least, I have known them to volunteer that about other convicts. In fact, I have repeatedly been told by people in each of those three categories that I was obviously innocent. And not only by them. Whereas no one, absolutely no one at all, has ever said to my face that they thought that I was guilty. Write what you like in some public school gigglerag. Next to no one up here reads it, and it is quite rarely to be seen on sale in the North East. Moreover, even after this, it is never going to publish this.
