No remorse: Sabine writes from prison

About two weeks ago, a user on the UK Column community discussion board posted the following letter from Sabine McNeill, who is currently serving a nine-year sentence for four counts of stalking and six violations of a restraining order. The letter, apparently written on 3 August, reads: Dear Friends & Supporters, 17 months I’ve survived…

Sabine McNeill’s appeal judgment published in full

Many thanks to commenter Exiled Scouser for pointing us in the direction of BAILII, where the full written judgment from Sabine McNeill’s appeal has now been posted. The judgment itself contains few surprises, and deviates little from our report on 30 July. It does make some minor factual errors—rather than identifying the two children in…

Sabine’s appeal prospects uncertain, says Belinda

Long-time readers might recall that following Rupert Quaintance’s 2017 conviction for harassment, he appealed both the sentence and the conviction (and lost, but that’s another story). We’ve had a number of queries about whether Sabine McNeill plans to do the same, and we’ve had to say that we don’t know. While the deadline has passed…

Charles Seven’s court case: Not quite as advertised

Like many of those determined to spread their particular brand of personal fiction across the internet, Wendy John-Charles, aka “Charles Seven” repeats the same untruths loudly and frequently. She lives, it seems, by the maxim that a lie, repeated often enough, will become the truth. It was no surprise to discover, in her latest video…

Edward W. Ellis loses appeal

Was it really more than six months ago that we reported on the commencement of Application to Commit proceedings against Edward W. Ellis, Neelu’s former live-in struck-off solicitor? By gum, it has been that long! Thanks to the kind reader who forwarded us an update on the case. According to the case report, which we…

Neelu’s day in court, translated (sort of)

As we noted yesterday, Neelu Berry’s pre-trial and preparation hearing took place yesterday. While she did put up a Facebook video reporting on what happened, we’ve squinted and looked at it sideways, turned it upside down and shook it, tapped it several times, and still weren’t able to make much of it. Here it is,…
