Latest reports on the now underway supergrass ‘show trial’ have revealed that a key witness has openly admitted he is ” an alcoholic and drug user who fled NI with money stolen from his parents.” His admissions, as reported by the BBC, include confessions of being a lifelong alcoholic and user of cocaine, LSD and cannabis (among others). His services to the judiciary are being given for the price of a reduced personal sentence for serious crime. Is there ANYTHING whatsoever that can be achieved from this trial continuing, never mind running its full course?
