Quelle surprise, the CPS didn’t want to release any documents

Dear Director of Public
Prosecutions

Re Michael Stuart Parnell RIP – FOI request (there is
no data protection for the dead)

I enclose letters sent to
you in the past, which were in the main ignored. Mr Parnell has now died, and I
witnessed some of the appalling treatment meted out to him by the CPS and one prosecutor
in particular (a certain Eddie Cole???).
Mr Parnell and his family believe he was pushed to an early grave at the
age of 58 largely by what was done to him by the CPS, the Police, the
Magistrates’ Court and Stockport Council.
Please may I have copies of all documents relating to his many
prosecutions.

The police have recently confirmed he was never
guilty of any offence.

Secondly, a John Derbyshire,
CPS paralegal, claimed for the purposes of continuing to have the CRASBO
enforced even after he was acquitted that Fred Perry House is simply a
re-naming of Ponsonby House. Who gave him this information? If he knows Stockport at all or ever attends the courts next door, he will be perfectly aware
that Ponsonby House was knocked down and Fred Perry House put in its place at a
cost of £12 million. This smacks of
corruption to me, and he has the same surname as the Leader of Stockport
Council Sue Derbyshire, one of the biggest villains in the human rights abuses
committed against Mr Parnell.

I haven’t spoken to his
family about this – and they are trying to come to terms with their loss and
the horror they have experience over the past decade at the hands of your
corrupt employees, but if they decide to sue it would be a multi-million pound
claim.

I look forward to receiving
the FOI evidence.

Yours

Sheila Oliver



Keir Starmer passed the problem on but it was ignored by officials lower down the line

Dear Mr Starmer

I enclose two previous letters sent to you and I also enclose authorisation
from Mr. Parnell for you to release documents regarding his case to me.

In addition I enclose a copy of a letter sent to HM Treasury about waste of
public money by Stockport CPS

Please let me have details of what has gone on regarding Mr. Parnell’s
case. A national journalist is keen to cover his November trial, so to have all
the relevant documents to hand to give to her immediately following Mr.
Parnell’s trial would be beneficial.

I don’t want to waste hundreds of thousands of pounds of my money
(including police time, court time, prison time and ultimately compensation for
him) persecuting an innocent man, and I won’t let this drop.

Yours sincerely

I even wrote repeatedly to the Director of Public Prosecutions – Keir Starmer

Dear Mr Starmer

Re: 8680 – Mr Michael Parnell, Stockport Town Hall
Protester. Had police called 130 plus
times, 38 plus arrests, one court case dropped on the day of his hearing,
Criminal ASBO involving 2 years house arrest 8am to 8pm, multiple stays in
tough Manchester prison, Crown Court acquittal January 2010 in which Judge
Lever criticised Stockport Council for not having sorted his problem out, two
further court cases – one using the town hall public lavatory when he had a
letter from the Chief Executive specifically giving him permission to do so and
when the police were called with blue flashing lights – dropped following
adverse press publicity. No attempt by
Stockport Council to
sort his problem out. Police
subsequently called by the Mayor to arrest him following a full council meeting
where he tried to ask a public question regarding what had been done to him by
the Council. The Mayor, who himself has
subsequently been arrested for alleged benefit fraud, claimed apparently he was
asking a planning question which was sub judice. He wasn’t.
Further arrest for, I believe, trying to obtain a council meeting agenda
document. Tried to harm himself in
police cell. Further court case pending.
His troubled daughters, whom he adopted from Stockport Council and who
had a terrible time with their birth parents and for whom he simply wanted to
obtain help, have still received no help whatsoever and are on a path of
self-destruction (please see enclosed press cuttings).

I received a letter from C
Swallow of the Correspondence Unit dated 8th October 2009 saying Mr. Robert Marshall, the Chief Crown
Prosecutor for CPS Greater Manchester would write to me about the case of Mr.
Parnell, our town hall protester.

I don’t recall receiving any
letter from Mr. Marshall.

Please see Mr. Parnell’s
details above. Following the death of
the lady from Stockport who jumped from the Humber Bridge with her 9-year-old autistic son, lessons were supposed to have been
learned from the Serious Case Review and also following the death of the
18-year-old straight out of Stockport Council’s care who jumped to her death
from a tower block. The Coroner is
rightly worried about what is going on in Stockport.

The Director of Children and
Young People’s Directorate, Andrew Webb, and the Executive Councillor
responsible for that department, Councillor Weldon – teacher have recently been in the national press over
the horrible death of a young boy with asthma and their refusal to hold a
review of what went wrong.

The CPS prosecutor who tried
so hard to have Mr. Parnell sent back to prison for the only crime Stockport
Council have alleged against him – a non-existent sneeze – is now trying to
have him tagged again. That prosecutor
should not be allowed anywhere near any case to do with Mr. Parnell.

In addition, the Leader of
Stockport Council, Councillor Dave Goddard, sent me a confidential Crown
Prosecution document regarding Mr. Parnell. How did he get it?

I have tried to raise this
issue with the Council’s Monitoring Officer who simply won’t respond.

I hope you will take these
issues seriously. Very soon we will be reading in the press of the death of Mr.
Parnell or his daughters and crocodile tears will be shed by the crocodiles at
Stockport Council.

Mr Parnell was innocent, Nick Smart, Senior Crown Prosecutor, and we all knew that from the outset

Town Hall Protester Posted on Tue, February 03, 2015 11:02

Senior Crown Prosecutor Nick Smart, had you used your noggin at the outset, the public purse might have been saved huge amounts of money. Mr Parnell was completely innocent and now he is dead at just 58 – hounded to the very last by the Crown Prosecution Service on the say so of witnesses who had previously been found to have perjured themselves in the Crown Court. It would make a cat laugh!
