summing up today

better day .prosecution really bullied me,but i fought back and gave her as good as she gave me.the actual rapes were the usual " I put it to you " that you raped the girl etc she kept asking me to read my statement i said I don t need to I know what I said.Most of the questions were aimed at dates and where I was etc ,The truth can alway be remembered and always be consistent.I had some horrible experiences but remember them in detail.She was very good but i did not rape the complainant and knew all my facts were correct and I never lied not once .Some of the examination was about my feelings and stuff saying i was aggressive which I am really but there are many million aggressive folk in uk but that does not make you a rapist she also said i was domineering which to a degree I suppose i am .but Margaret Thatcher was too .dont get me wrong I am not nasty person but I am not a door mat .I have a big heart and feel things being small i guess made me aggressive but surely that is part of my personality and not something to use against me as a battering ram.Barrister said I did ok and was perfect with my statement was a bit scare though prosecutor was aggressive too summing up to day going to look into appeals because if convicted on these unsubstantiated lies I think I might be strong in an appeal documents missing and complainant alleging 3 different time periods etc .I know i did not do it and must fight on to the end

you're doing really well Sadman - good point about the statement, as she will have been given hers to read before she gave evidence.

Hope all goes well today.
