had a long day today, detective went through our statements, they went through passenger statement which was all saying, he wasn't with me.
then he went through my statement, which was truth but they way i expressed my words, wasn't right. i didn't speak proper English and before i finish my one sentence, i jumped on the second sentence and it all looks mixed up. jury was also listening that too.
passenger gave evidence, he actually told the truth but prosecutor, made him a lair and she made up her own story like, passenger said, we went to somewhere before few hours the incident. then we went home and then we met few friends where i went with passenger to test my car.
she made up a story that, passenger and driver went to see some quit place and then there plan was to go at night and find a girl around town and take her to that place and rape her?
i was shocked that they not suppose to lie? i didn't even go that place where i went earlier on with all guys.
she going to use that story on me and what if jury believe her? .
my barrister said, passenger interview was a disaster. don't know why did he say that.
who are you saying made up the story. sorry its not very clear. I know you have had a hard day.
if I am reading what you have said properly her barrister is trying to make out that you planned the hole thing that day? if what you are saying is that the passenger has said that you had been to the place that it happened earlier that day? has the passenger changed his story from his statement that he made to the police?

thanks for your reply.
the prosecutor made up the story that me and the passenger planned the hole thing that day.
me and the passenger and 2 other friends, went to near that place like we were killing time that's what i said it my statement which is totally truth.
the passenger first lied to the police, he actually lied twice in his statements to police but today, he told the truth which i have told it on the my first statement to the police.
well if you have told the truth all the way along and now your passenger is changing his story to fit yours, did you or the passenger give there evidence in court first? have they got statements from the other people that were with that day when you went near the place were it was ment to have happened?

i will be giving my evidence tomorrow morning.
yeah they got statement from 1 person and he said it, what i had said.
i went near that place but when incident happen, i only drove past that place to get back to the place where she got inside the car, she wanted to stay out with us all night till afternoon. on the way, i needed a bad wee so i parked up.
i have said that in my first statement to police. when barrister asked her questions, the girl replied with she can't remember most of the bit.
well it would seem as if the passenger is the one in the **** as he is changing his story, did your barrister say to you why he thought the passengers evidence was a disaster? sorry to ask this but have you been charged with rape aswell as the passenger?

no i been charged of aidding and abetting rape.
but doctor who checked the girl, said in her statement, ( nothing found) so no dna, or evidence shows there was sex. so it just her words.
i duno why he said, his evidence was a disaster but his barrister thinks, it was good evidence. i don't know who to believe.
However do bear in mind that the prosecution will undoubtably suggest that your intention all along was to also have sexual intercourse with the girl and this is why you were aiding and abetting your friend, so be prepared for this line of questioning.
the prosecutor made up the story that me and the passenger planned the hole thing that day.
As BDC wrote, it is the prosecutor's job to try to show you in a bad light to the jury. All you can do is politely and firmly reject her suggestions, and tell the truth while replying to the jury , not to her.
I just got back home and I gave my evidence. First I was very scared but then as the questions was going, I get better and better and gained confidence.
I told them everything what had happened on that day.
prosecutor start asking me questions, she asked me so many questions and all i said, this is not correct because it happened this and that way as what i said in my initial statement.
she was trying to make up a story and asking me questions, i explained them actually what happened.
she talked about route and goes, you parked up there because it was dark, and you went this way before so you knew it is quite place and the road didn't go to the place where you picked her up.
I said no, that's not correct and told her everything whats went and even told her the road names that she can get back to the place where got it.
basically I answered everything with explanation.
barrister said, he did better then he expected.
passenger barrister said, i did well.
but passenger barrister said, if passenger get convicted of rape then i should get convicted of aiding and abetting rape. that's not fair on me. he lied again and again but i didn't. judge said yeah
but when i get out, i asked my barrister that if he get convicted, that's mean i get convicted as well. he said no. its a different case.
the girl statement came across, she can't remember plus she seems across a liar. passenger initially lied but then in court he said truth which does match my statement.
judge will sum up after barrister speeches on Monday and then it will be verdict. if i found not guilty, then i come back home and if i found guilty then they will take me prison.
can please somebody tells me, in these sort of cases, what does jury make there decision on?
does the DNA and forensic is important?
she lied and hide things in her statement which in the evidence box, she said she can't remember, does it sound like she lying or she really can't remember.
i gave the condom to her, passenger said, i give it to her and she said, i gave it to him. don't know if jury going to believe me.
