Scottish law of evidence
No person may be convicted of a criminal charge on the evidence of a single witness “no matter how credible that witness”
David Cameron Paisley Sherriff Court October 1st 2018.
On December 15th 2017 David Cameron Paisley Photographer claimed he was physically assaulted while having his camera viciously yanked by Richard McKillop outside St Fergus School on Blackstoun rd in Ferguslie Park.
Mr Cameron also claimed he was verbally threaded by Reigart Flat Bed driver Thomas Rafferty who would later take the stand at paisley sheriff court on October 1st 2018. And where it took him no more than six minutes to give conflicting evidence, as he claimed Mr Cameron’s camera magically bounced up and smashed him in the face due to Mr Cameron pushing back on the school gates McKillop & Rafferty were trying to close. This to a trained eye would seem impossible due to Mr Cameron’s lifelong nerve neck pain, to which Mr Cameron was in the process of picking up a doctor’s prescription for pain pills. Thus making it unlucky a weaker person could prevent two well built contraction workers from closing a simple gate, let alone be foolish enough to pick a fight with stronger and younger opponents, since Mr Cameron was in his 50s.
Mr Cameron claimed he was planning to photograph Glen Coats park as part of the Renfrewshire council wide clean up day for Ferguslie Park’s community council, to which he was waiting for when he spotted across the road the old St Fergus primary school was being demolished. So he crossed the road to take a few photos as part of Ferguslie’s local building history. And given the demolition firm Reigart had left the gates wide open and right beside the newly built Glen Coats Primary school that was no more than 100 yards away. And given they had placed no keep out or danger signs up. Mr Cameron went in and stayed well back from the fence as he took a few more photos in the hope of soon after leaving. But he was soon confronted by McKillop who became verbally violent before Mr Cameron managed to calm him down when Mr Rafferty arrived and began to threaten Mr Cameron. At this point Mr Cameron took Raffery’s picture to use as his complaint against the firm and show Rafferty giving the V sign, while Rafferty himself in the stand said It was Cameron who was the aggressor.
Mr Cameron claimed as he stepped over the gates to leave he spotted Reigart Contracts of Coatbridge work van he wanted to photograph as evidence against their workers. Both Rafferty & McKillop deliberately stepped into shot to block the photograph being take only for Mr McKillop to yell, “Did you just take my f’#’# photograph,” were he lunged at Mr Cameron’s camera, which he violently yaked while around his neck causing Mr Cameron severe neck pain. And while trying to wrestle McKillops hands off his camera, McKillop sucker punch Mr Cameron who was wearing glasses at the time, right under his right eye causing Mr Cameron’s glasses to fly off and disappear, never to be found.
Even though McKillop’s lawyer made light of the evidence and relentlessly tried to blame Mr Cameron for everything that unfolded that day. Mr Cameron at one point placed his hand on his heart and raised his hand to god while looking directly at the judge while stating. “On pain of perjury that man, pointing at McKillop is the person who alone assaulted me” Even though McKillop’s lawyer tried to blow off Mr Cameron’s supposed photographs that somehow weren’t available. Quickly changed her tune along with the subject when Mr Cameron offered to show the court the photos he’d taken on his mobile phone, that showed his burse face and the photos taken daily for two weeks were Mr Cameron spat up blood due to having five loose teeth, a damaged sinus, which resulted in three HNS x-rays to his head and a further X-ray he received from his dentist due to the assault.
Mr Cameron continued to point out, no one told him to take any evidence in the letter he received as a witness against McKillop. Plus when he’d earlier received a letter stating the breach of the peace charge Rafferty had made against him was dropped. He thought the whole case including McKillop’s was thrown out and that was the end of it. Plus he stated he’d freely gave evidence to the police who were called out while McKillop had run away from the scene of the crime after he, Mr Cameron had called the police from behind the now closed gate and where Rafferty was himself videoing Mr Cameron who told the police operator he was being filled by Rafferty.. Mr Cameron further stated, why didn’t they call the police if I was causing so much trouble, and why did your client run away from the scene of the crime, which just goes to show how good of character your client really character is, Mr Cameron said.
Though today’s true travesty of justice came when the Judge stated the ludicrous “Scottish law of evidence”. Where, no person may be convicted of a criminal charge on the evidence of a single witness “no matter how credible that witness”. Resulting in Mr Killop being found not guilty to which he and his party quickly exited the building.
So instead of the court postponing sentence till Mr Cameron who had no legal representation, the time to email the courts the photographic evidence, where you can clearly see in the last photograph taken before Mr Cameron was assaulted by McKillop.
Mr Rafferty & McKillop standing in front of the open makeshift fence gates they claimed were closed and with “NO KEEP OUT SIGNS” Rafferty stated under oath!” And the very gates they claimed Mr Cameron was pushing on at the time Mr Cameron was speaking to the police on the phone, while Mr Rafferty was filming Mr Cameron, to which Mr Cameron stated to the police operator he was bleeding while being filled by the aggressor Mr Rafferty who faced no charges, though Mr Cameron pointed out it was he who caused the whole thing to blow out of control and thought he and Mr McKillop were cool, till he was sucker punched..
So did justice get served in the paisley sheriff court today? Some might say no given Mr Cameron had any witnesses regardless of how credible his evidence was due to the crazy “Scottish law of evidence”. That leaves victims of crime vulnerable while allowing criminals to take advantage of the situation, where it’s your word against mine and mine wins regardless of your good & my bad character?
