The Apple Doesn’t Fall Far From The Tree

The following statements were made by killer Barry George’s sister Michelle Diskin Bates on Facebook on the 2nd October 2023;

Sister Susan Towler (nee George)

The police knew Barry George was a danger to women and that he was a prolific sexual predator and rapist.

As already stated in Part 3 of this blog series The Ghosting Of Sister Susan & Brother-In-Law Edward Derek Towler, Barry and Michelle’s sister Susan Towler passed away in April 1986 during the early stages of pregnancy.

Caroline Logan

Caroline Logan said Barry George feigned illness in a bid to influence the case and stated;

He may have a degree of control when he feels threatened by a process like a court case.

He may exaggerate to protect himself from a situation in which he feels threatened.

Excerpts by Stephen Wright for the Daily Mail article headed Blonde doctor’s £25,000 to comfort Dando killer dated 29th June 2002

Philip Joseph

Philip Joseph found Barry George far more competent than he made himself out to be to.

A media article stated;

Dr Philip Joseph, another leading psychiatrist who was called by the prosecution, said George was “far more competent” than tests would suggest and capable of lying in police interviews.

While some of his behaviour could be attributed to his epilepsy and cognitive impairment, his stalking of women appeared to stem from an “intense anger” caused by rejection, Dr Joseph said.

Innocence Fraud Promoter & Groomer Michael Naughton, Russ Spring & Psychopathic Killer Warren Slaney

Gary Thompson (32) and John Weston (29) were shot and killed on the 10th of October 1990 in the front garden of the house Gary Thompson lived in with his wife and children in Oadby, Leicestershire.

Gary Thompson
John Weston

Gary Thompson ran a successful hot dog and burger van fast food business and his friend John Weston worked alongside him.

Psychopath Warren Slaney and Terence Burke stole up to £60,000 of bank holidays takings from Gary Thompson’s Bentley motor vehicle after shooting dead Gary Thompson and John Weston.

Innocence fraud killer Warren Slaney’s co-defendant Terence Burke attempted to pretend that victim Gary Thompson “was in on the raid” as part of an insurance scam.

However it was established Gary Thompson was uninsured.

In 2000 killer Warren Slaney made allegations here that staff at Woodhill prison had “attacked” him “at least six times” and in 2011 Private Eye magazine published an article headed The Hot Dog Hit in which it stated;

Slaney’s case has now been taken up by the University of Bristol Innocence Project where law students investigate claims of injustice

Excerpt from a Private Eye magazine article headed The Hot Dog Hit dated 11th September 2011

Another article on psychopathic innocence fraud killer Warren Slaney stated;

The campaign has the support of Dr Michael Naughton of The Innocence Project based at Bristol University who showed that miscarriages of justice were costing the public purse as much as £200m a year in 2002.

Source here

Someone called Russ Spring was also involved in the innocence fraud public relations spin campaign and was referred to in 2005 here as a “campaign support worker for the Miscarriages of Justice Organisation”.

Russ Spring from Mojo said: “We feel that the scale of the inquiry that is needed into his conviction really is beyond the scope of the Criminal Case Review Commission and they need to appoint an independent outside investigators.

The Surjit Singh Clair Effect

Referring to just after killer Barry George was released from custody in 2008 following his retrial, his uncle Mike Burke stated;

It was now open season on Barry and the press set about destroying any hope of him settling into any kind of normal life in his home city of London.

I watched dispassionately as his reputation, such as it was, nosedived over the last days of 2008 under a welter of tabloid fantasy.

They ran stories on what he ate, what bookshops he visited, his temporary accommodation.

They claimed incorrectly that he was stalking a nurse, that Sky’s Kay Burley was frightened sick by him, that he was interested in Cheryl Cole of X Factor, that he was involved with the partner of a convicted killer etc.

To make things even better a ‘spokesman’ for him allegedly confirmed some of those manufactured stories.

Pat Reynolds said to me one day: ‘with friends like those who needs enemies?’

Excerpts from Mike Burke’s book Mike’s Story: The Battle to Clear Barry George of the Murder of Jill Dando first published in June 2011

The “spokesman” Mike Burke referred to was Surjit Singh Clair.

Read more on Surjit Singh Clair here, here and here.

Michelle Diskin Bates chose to omit to tell the readers of her book the fact that Surjit Singh Clair was a convicted fraudster who attempted “to obtain property by deception by selling the story of the bogus attack to a national newspaper”.

False Phone Monitoring Allegations & Pam Wright

Referring to Surjit Singh Clair and some of the various news stories regarding her psychopathic killer brother, Michelle Diskin Bates stated;

It was arranged that Barry would travel from London to Birmingham, where he would be met by volunteers from MOJO.

They would take him to a secret location and keep him safe.

In two days, he and a volunteer, Russ, would meet me in Leeds.

When Russ returned to his family, Surj would take over, taking Barry along to a meeting he was having at another hotel.

We really hoped that all of these precautions would mean Barry would not appear in any more disgraceful headlines, but no.

They were being followed everywhere, even camping outside of Russ’ home looking for Barry, though they were not there.

Russ’ wife and family felt intimidated by the media’s presence.

The only way they could have known about Russ was if our phones were being monitored.

Of course, this was all before the Leveson Inquiry and the News of the World’s well-earned downfall. Story upon story was published.

There was one story that alleged Barry had terrified a nurse in the hospital carpark, and that he was in an agitated state demanding drugs at the hospital.

The truth was that he was with Russ and they had gone to A&E to replace Barry’s epilepsy meds, as he’d had to abandon his supply at the flat when the police came.

Another story alleged that he was now obsessed with Cheryl Cole as well as Kay Burley, and that he was dating a convict’s wife, the person Surj went to a business meeting with!

Statements by Michelle Diskin Bates from her book Stand Against Injustice published in October 2018

Surjit Singh Clair accompanied Pam Wight, who had been groomed, conned and exploited by serial killer Steve Wight, during her February 2008 Sky news interview with Kay Burley.

It was during this interview where Kay Burley asked Pam Wright;

Do you think if you’d had a better sex life, he wouldn’t have done this?

Kay Burley – February 2008

A December 2008 media article stated of killer Barry George;

He is also reportedly besotted with Pam Wright, the fiancée of Suffolk Strangler Steve Wright.

Excerpt from a Birmingham Sunday Mercury article headed My relationship with Barry George dated 6th December 2008

As referred to in Part 18 of this blog series here, Surjit Singh Clair had stated to David Jones of the DailyMail;

I can tell you there is somebody new, though.

I think there have been three or four meetings

Surjit Singh Clair – Source here

Was the woman Surjit Singh Clair referred to Pam Wright?

During a 2021 channel 5 TV show Pam Wright stated, after realising Steve Wright was a psychopathic serial killer;

He was just a nice, quiet, kind guy

I just, no, no way, I couldn’t believe it.

He wasn’t a violent person

This is my life sentence, I’ll never know the truth… I do honestly think there’s a lot more to the story.

I just didn’t want to wake up, I drank ridiculously and I was on anti-depressants.

Anything just to go to sleep and not think about it

Pam Wright via Entertainment Daily article headed The Suffolk Strangler: Why did Steve Wright kill his victims and where is he now? dated 21st August 2021

Surjit Singh Clair can be seen walking behind Pam Wright in the opening of the February 2008 video with Kay Burley below;

Jill Dando’s Killer Barry George & The Ghosting Of Eyewitness Julia Moorhouse #WhoKilledJillDando? (Part 19)

Julia Roberts

Witness Julia Moorhouse

On the day he murdered Jill Dando, killer Barry George was seen by Julia Moorhouse at around 12.33pm.

Julia Moorhouse said that Barry George had crossed the road to talk to her around an hour after he had committed his murder.

Excerpts from a Guardian article read;

Mrs Moorhouse said she had been standing on the corner of a street close to the murder scene at 12.30pm on April 26 when a man approached and started talking to her about the helicopters hovering overhead.

“He said they were police helicopters. He gave details of what kind they were. He appeared to have technical knowledge… I turned to go. He came with me. I did not expect that.

“The whole situation struck me as slightly odd. He mentioned the Territorial Army. I think he may have said he had done training or was associated with it… either as an instructor or something”

Excerpts by Nick Hopkins for the Guardian article headed Dando accused ‘set up alibi’ at health centre dated 15th May 2001

Excerpts from another Guardian article stated;

Ms Moorehouse described the man as being in his 30s, nearly 6ft tall, relatively heavy in build, paunchy and with very dark hair.

He was also wearing a bright yellow jacket.

The prosecution alleged that he had changed his clothes.

She said: “I was left with the impression that he might have had at some point a hare-lip or cleft palate at some time which had been mended.”

She added that she rang the police when she heard Dando had been attacked.

Excerpts from a Guardian article headed Witness ‘spoke to suspect after Dando shooting’ dated 14th May 2001

Uncle Mike Burke referred to a conversation he had with his nephew Barry George’s barristers William Clegg and Jeffrey Samuels and stated;

Uncle Mike Burke

Outside the courtroom I spoke with Mr Clegg and Samuels.

We discussed Julia Moorhouse, the women who described being spoken to by a man who could have been Barry approx an hour after Jill Dando’s murder.

I felt her description of the man was too like Barry to be coincidence, and as she reported the meeting to the police straight away on that day it sounded genuine.

We agreed the man she met probably was Barry but disagreed as to whether they met before of after he had visited HAFAD.

The Crown claimed before, which would support their case

Excerpts from Mike Burke’s book Mike’s Story: The Battle to Clear Barry George of the Jill Dando Murder first published in June 2011 – Source here

Barry George admitted he had spoken to Julia Moorhouse when he spoke to the media following his retrial.

As previously referred to in Part 18 of this blog series here, Mike Burke also highlighted this fact stating;

In their ‘World Exclusive’ he was quoted as saying ‘After leaving HAFAD I bumped into a woman who was later a prosecution witness and said I was stalking her…That was at 12.33pm…’

That was obviously a reference to Julia Moorhouse who he had always denied meeting.

Excerpts by uncle Mike Burke

One Of Umpteen Innocence Fraud Red Flags

Michelle Diskin Bates chose to ghost Julia Moorhouse and her evidence from a book she had published in 2018, preferring instead to refer to the actress Julia Roberts.

Yet she repeatedly claims;

When he was released from custody in August 2008, Barry George publicly stated he had met with Julia Moorhouse. He stated;

I walked with her for a bit and, from her perspective, maybe it was unwanted attention. But she didn’t make that clear.

It didn’t seem like she was telling me to go away.

If she’d told me to leave I’d have done so straight away. 

That was at 12.33pm.

I know because just a minute before I’d made a call from my mobile to check how much credit I had left.

Statements by Barry George on 1st August 2008 – Source here

Michael Naughton, who was involved in the innocence fraud of killer Simon Hall, wrote the foreword for Michelle Diskin Bates.

Killer Simon Hall: Bristol University’s Michael Naughton Aka “Empowering The Innocent”, Heather Mills, Private Eye Magazine, Higham Burglary, TIE Suspect, Lynne & Phil Hall, Suspicious & Conflicting Accounts, Vanishing Clothing & Shoes & More Bare Faced Lies, Concoctions, & Malicious, Manipulative & Distractive Innocence Fraud Phenomenon Tactics – Part 19b©️

As stated in Part 19a of this blog series Michael Naughton, and in turn Heather Mills from Private Eye magazine, lied in 2009 about the “fingerprints found above Mrs Albert’s body” and “DNA on her body”.

Photo of Heather Mills and Ian Hislop from Private Eye in 2011 here

The November 2009 Private Eye article (Referred to in Part 19 here) also stated;

Eye readers will recall that Hall was only put in the frame because his mother used to care for Mrs Albert and had a key to her house.

He had a firm alibi for all but about half an hour on the night Mrs Albert was killed.

He was pubbing and clubbing with friends in Ipswich, dropping one off at his house between 05:30 and 6am, before arriving home to his mother, Lynne, at round 6.15am.

As it was, it was unlikely he could have broken in to Mrs Albert’s home, killed her and arrived back home.

But there was absolutely no way he could have burgled one old person’s home and then moved on to Mrs Albert’s.

Excerpts from page 29 of Heather Mills article for Private Eye magazine published on the 13th of November 2009 (Edition number 1249)

Heather Mills following statement;

But there was absolutely no way he could have burgled one old person’s home and then moved on to Mrs Albert’s.

was pointless and was yet another innocence fraud distraction tactic.

As already mentioned in Part 19a here the Higham burglary “was formally linked to a series of antique thefts” and the “two crimes were not formally linked”, ie: killer Simon Hall’s murder of Joan Albert in Capel St Mary was not related to the antiques theft of “the old person’s” home in Higham.

Crime scene photo of broken kitchen window

The fact killer Simon Hall’s adoptive mother Lynne Hall had a key to Joan Albert’s home was irrelevant because Simon Hall broke Joan Albert’s kitchen window (Pictured above) to gain access to her and her home.

If Simon Hall had of had a “firm alibi” as suggested by Heather Mills for Private Eye magazine (courtesy of Michael Naughton), it’s unlikely Simon would have been “put in the frame” in the first place.

TIE (Trace/Interview/Eliminate) Suspect

There were numerous reasons why killer Simon Hall was “put in the frame” for his murder, some of which have already been highlighted throughout this blog series, which begins here.

For example, as referred to in Part 2 here due to the fact Simon Hall had previous criminal convictions for violence, and because he had in the past lived nearby and knew the area well, Simon Hall’s name was quickly flagged by the HOLMES information technology system used by police for investigations.

Simon Hall was automatically categorised as a TIE suspect (trace, interview, eliminate) in relation to Joan Albert’s murder.

Therefore Suffolk police may have known when they first began interviewing Lynne Hall on the 18th of December 2001, that her youngest adoptive sons name had already been flagged up by HOLMES.

Lynne Hall’s behaviour and statements in particular gave numerous suspicious and conflicting accounts from the very beginning of her contact with the police.

Lynne Hall – 2011

This was clearly done by Lynne Hall in an attempt to deflect away attention and cover up for her adoptive guilty killer son Simon Hall.

More on Lynne Hall and her evidence can be read by tapping on the button below;

By Tuesday the 18th of December 2001, just two days after Joan Albert was discovered to have been murdered, Lynne Hall was offering up two possible suspects.

Lynne Hall told Suffolk police she had seen two youths/men in the village of Capel St Mary “on the Monday or Tuesday of the previous week the 10th and 11th December”.

Lynne Hall also stated on the same day;

I thought about ringing the barman Trevor ***** who is a builder in the village, in fact I didn’t do that.

That roof is quite high with a flat roof.

I believe from that roof Joan’s house could be seen

It is not known what Lynne Hall thought “ringing the barman Trevor ***** who is a builder in the village” would have achieved exactly, but many other houses would have been “seen from that roof”.

If Lynne Hall had had genuine concerns about the two youths/men, including the one who she said had “a pleasant face” but who gave her “the impression they seemed guilty”, why didn’t Lynne tell someone at the time or contact the police?

It appears Lynne Hall’s choice of words were a Freudian slip or her psychological projections perhaps, or a combination of the two?

Were Lynne Hall’s unconscious emotions about the men she had allegedly seen the week before, really all about her adoptive killer son Simon Hall and what Lynne had witnessed just two days earlier?

Questions For Lynne & Phil Hall

Was it really killer Simon Hall with his “pleasant face” who gave Lynne Hall the “impression he seemed guilty” when he arrived at her and Phil Hall’s home at 6.30am, after having committed his murder of Joan Albert?

Lynne Hall went on to state in November 2013 (Read more in Part 10 here) that she had seen the “microwave size” locker her adoptive son Simon Hall, and Jamie Barker, had stolen from the Zenith Windows burglary, allegedly in her garden on the morning of her sons murder of Joan Albert.

Why did Lynne Hall really choose to omit to tell Suffolk police about this fact at the time, and what else did Lynne Hall lie by omission to Suffolk police about?

Lynne Hall said she had apparently asked her adoptive son Simon what the stolen “microwave size” locker was and had then apparently told him to “get rid” of said stolen locker as she “did not want it in her garden”.

Photo of an example of industrial waste bins

Killer Simon Hall claimed he got “rid of” the stolen “microwave size” locker in an industrial waste bin (Along with the clothing, shoes and leather jacket he wore when he committed his murder of Joan Albert) early on the morning of Monday the 17th of December 2001.

Rather than telephone his line manager to ask for a few days off work in order to “look after” his adoptive mother Lynne (Which was the reason he gave for asking for a few days off work) Simon Hall used the excuse to drive to State Chemicals in Colchester to dispose of all incriminating evidence.

Suspicious Behaviour & Vanishing Clothing & Shoes

What exactly did Lynne Hall make of her adoptive son driving all the way to Colchester to ask for a couple of days off, when a quick telephone call could have been made instead?

Did Simon Hall behaviour strike Lynne Hall (or any of the Hall family members) as suspicious or unusual or was Lynne Hall actually aware of the fact Simon needed to “get ridof incriminating evidence?

It is not known if Lynne and/or Phil Hall saw Simon Hall put the “microwave size” locker in his car, or if either of them saw Simon carrying the clothing, shoes and bulky leather jacket he had been wearing when he carried out his murder of Joan Albert, down the stairs from bedroom 3 and out of their home on that Monday morning.

It is also not known if a conversation was ever had between Simon and Lynne, and/or Phil Hall, about why Simon’s clothing, shoes and leather jacket had suddenly vanished.

Lynne & Phil Hall’s Lies & Concoctions

Simon Hall had purchased a brand new pair of mole skin type jeans/trousers from Tesco’s the day before.

He then drove straight to his adoptive parents home in Capel St Mary with his new jeans/trousers and had spent a maximum of an hour at their house, before heading out for the night.

Lynne Hall claimed to the police on the day her adoptive son was arrested;

On Saturday the 15th of December 2001 I was ill in bed all day.

I seem to think that Simon was around during the day and he put his head in to make sure I was okay.

I may have popped down to make a drink.

The Sunday we were off to Stoke Rochford in Lincolnshire which is a stately home, it was a family get together.

Simon told me at some stage that Saturday that he was going out and would probably not be back that night.

I told him to be back because we were leaving early.

I wanted him home at five or six am as I wanted to make sure he was okay and dressed properly

Excerpt’s from Lynne Hall’s 25th July 2002 police witness statement
Phil Hall

Also on the day his adoptive son was arrested, Phil Hall stated;

On the 15th December 2001 my wife was upstairs unwell in bed, I don’t know when Simon left the house or even if I saw him at all that day.

I do not know what he was wearing that day at all.

I recall that Lynne had asked Simon to make sure he was back in time to leave for Stoke Rochford in Lincolnshire where we had a family do

Excerpt from Phil Hall’s police witness statement dated 25th July 2002

Did Lynne and Phil Hall really not recall seeing Simon Hall wearing his ‘larey black shirt with red splashes over it’?

Nicola, who referred to her diary entries recalled seeing Simon wearing this particular shirt a week earlier.

Tap on the button below to read more about Nicola’s evidence;

Nicola had stated in her evidence that she recalled “laughing at” the shirt because “it was a bit larey’ or loud

I do recall laughing at Simons shirt which was black with red splashes over it

It was a ’bit larey’ or loud

Psychopathic Murderer Robin Garbutt & MP’s Jump On Nick Wallis’s ‘Great Post Office Scandal’ Bandwagon (Part 9)

Nick Wallis

Diana Garbutt’s killer jumped on Hornswoggler Nick Wallis’s ‘Great Post Office Scandal bandwagon at some point.

Diana Garbutt was murdered by her psychopathic husband Robin Garbutt in the early hours of Tuesday the 23rd of March 2010.

While Diana Garbutt was sleeping, Robin hit her over the head three times with an iron bar.

Photo of the front aspect of the Melsonby village shop and post office, following Diana Garbutt’s murder at the hands of her husband

As part of his premeditated murder of his wife Diana and his plan to attempt to cover his tracks, murderer Robin Garbutt went on to serve around 60 customers in the Melsonby post office and shop, his wife Diana and he had owned and ran.

Robin Garbutt then decided to phone 999 in an attempt to pretend he had been held up by non existent armed robbers.

He also pretended his make believe armed robbers had stolen £10,000.00.

A brief extract of Robin Garbutt’s 999 call to the emergency service’s can be heard here.

It was reported in April 2011 here by the Daily Mail that the judge believed Robin Garbutt’s murder of his wife Diana was motivated by “fear of being exposed for stealing from the Post Office” and the judge was also reported to have stated “there was no struggle, she never awoke”.

Bizarrely the same article also stated “Robin Garbutt tried to cover his tracks from the moment he dialled 999”.

Killer & Psychopath Robin Garbutt

Detective superintendent Lewis Raw, was reported to have stated;

It is satisfying that we have been able to secure justice for Diana Garbutt and her family in this most tragic and distressing of cases

I hope the murder conviction of her husband Robin Garbutt will provide a measure of comfort and closure, allowing her family to start rebuilding their lives after a very traumatic year

The murder of Diana – and the subsequent arrest and charge of Robin Garbutt – has also caused a great deal of upset and distress to the residents of Melsonby

The murder of Diana – and the subsequent arrest and charge of Robin Garbutt – has also caused a great deal of upset and distress to the residents of Melsonby

In particular the original circumstances that she was killed during an armed robbery which turned out to be a bogus scenario made up by Garbutt to cover his tracks

I would again like to reiterate North Yorkshire Police’s sincere thanks to local residents who have supported the police throughout the investigation

As for Robin Garbutt, he has shown himself to be a calculating and deceptive individual who attempted an elaborate cover-up after he violently ended his wife’s life as she lay asleep in bed

His actions that morning not only killed Diana, they also devastated the lives of Diana’s family and plunged a small, close-knit community into fear.

That he did not have the decency to admit his guilt from the outset and therefore spare Diana’s family the pain of reliving the tragic events in full during a trial, demonstrates the type of selfish and deluded individual that Robin Garbutt really is

Excerpts from a York Press article headed Post Office murder: Killer was “calculating and deceptive” say police dated the 19th April 2011

Xanthe Tait, the then deputy chief crown prosecutor for North Yorkshire and Humberside, was reported to have stated;

Diana Garbutt’s life was cut brutally and tragically short. Her family is left to forever mourn her loss

She was violently bludgeoned to death by her husband as she lay sleeping. It was a callous crime motivated by the basest of human characteristics

Robin Garbutt went to great lengths in creating a cover story involving a robber with a gun, bludgeoning his wife to death: a story which he maintained throughout the trial – lying about his finances, lying about his relationship with his wife and lying about the robbery – to conceal his appalling crimes

We have worked closely with North Yorkshire Police to build a robust prosecution case and secure justice for Diana. Our thoughts are with her family and we hope that today’s conviction will bring them some measure of comfort and peace

Killer & His Enablers Fraudulent Public Relations (PR) Campaign

Some of killer Robin Garbutt’s family members, including his mother Joyce Brook, his sister Sallie Wood and her partner Mark Stilborn, once headed up Robin’s fraudulent public relations campaign.

However at some point Jane Metcalfe, who had apparently been a friend of Sarah Bradley, a defence witness at Robin Garbutt’s murder trial, and one of his previous girlfriends, now heads up the fraudulent PR campaign.

Sadly Jane Metcalfe has been (And is being) conned, groomed and exploited by psychopathic killer Robin Garbutt, and many other people.

One of the people who appears to have chosen to exploit Jane, is charlatan and fraudster Sandra Lean, who is referred to throughout The Truth Behind Actual, Factual, Guilty Killer Simon Hall & His & His Deceitful Enablers Innocence Fraud Phenomenon Scam blog series and through out the Toxic Abuser & Bogus “Criminologist” Sandra Lean’s 20 Year Gaslighting, Spin & Smear Campaign For Sadistic & Psychopathic Murderer Luke Mitchell blog series, which begins here.

Sandra Lean

On the 6th of June 2020 Sandra Lean published a YouTube video here in which she stated;

Hi I’m Sandra Lean and this is the truth seeker project

Imagine being accused, publicly named and shamed for a terrible crime that you didn’t commit

Imagine being locked up for the rest of your life for a terrible crime that you didn’t commit

Nobody’s listening nobody believes you nobody cares

I’ve been working with people in exactly those circumstances since 2003

Ordinary people just like you just like me going about their ordinary lives until this nightmare engulfed them

I’ve launched the truth seeker project to try to highlight and raise awareness of just how easily a wrongful accusation or conviction could happen to anyone of us

Every Sunday round about three O’clock I’ll be broadcasting interviews with families battling wrongful accusations and convictions, exonerees, media personnel, legal experts to show how many threads weave together to create the circumstances that make it possible for wrongful accusations and convictions to happen

I also want to show how difficult it is to stop the runaway train that is a wrongful accusation or conviction once those fields are in motion and the enormous battle people caught in that nightmare face

You’ll be hearing from families of school boys to men of the church, from single mums, to nurses to postmasters because wrongful accusations and convictions don’t just happen to one type of person they could happen to anybody and that includes you

There is a website with much more information about the people you’re going to be hearing from in the coming weeks with the links below it’s W W W dot the truth seeker project dot org and there’s also a patron page if you would like to help support this work so that it can continue, the links also are below

Unfortunately due to a glitch with YouTube which I’m trying to get sorted out the live interviews can’t be streamed directly to the truth seeker project channel

So the live steams will be shown here on my doctor Sandra Lean account and then will be uploaded for anyone that missed the live stream to watch on the truth seeker project channel

We’ll be kicking off on Sunday 7th June at 3pm with Jane Metcalfe whose going to be telling us all about the case of Robin Garbutt

So I look forward to seeing you there thanks for listening

Sandra Lean

It is not known who the alleged ‘postmasters’ Sandra Lean claimed her podcast audience would be hearing from, however Sandra published another video eight days later (Link here) which she called ‘How you can support the TruthSeeker Project’.

This video differed slightly from Sandra’s first video to launch her new YouTube channel, and was shorter. Sandra Lean stated;

Hi I’m doctor Sandra Lean and this is the truth seeker project

Imagine being accused, publicly named and shamed for something that you didn’t do

Imagine being locked up for the rest of your life for something that you didn’t do

Nobody’s listening nobody believes you nobody cares

Since 2003 I’ve been working with people in exactly those circumstances, ordinary people, just like you, just like me going about their ordinary lives until a wrongful accusation or conviction plunged them into a living nightmare

I’ve launched the truth seeker project to try to raise awareness of what happens when the justice system gets it wrong and how difficult it is to put it right

The project aims to give a platform and a voice to those already caught in this nightmare

Every week I’ll be uploading new video interviews with those people to allow them to tell their stories in their own words so that the truth can be shared and I’ll also be campaigning for change so that innocent people can no longer be railroaded into wrongful convictions

I need your support to allow me to continue to do this work

There are so many people who need help and so few people to help them

I know that some people are wary of the way patreon is set up to take recurring monthly payments so on each tear I’ve given an explanation of how to cancel if you only want to make a one off donation and I’ve also said if you leave me an email address I will send you a reminder to do that and if all else fails and a second payment or another payment is taken out – drop me an email and I will refund it (laugh)

You can also follow the progress of the project at our website W W W dot the truth seeker project dot com

Thanks for your support

Nick Wallis “Wanted To Cover Robin’s Case”

On Sunday the 7th of June 2020 Jane Metcalfe appeared alongside Sandra Lean on her Truth Seeker Project podcast but by the 19th of July 2020 Sandra’s project appeared to have run it’s course.

However Neil Wilby had Sandra Lean’s interview with Jane Metcalfe transcribed, which can be read in full under Neil’s blog headed Dr Truthseeker loses her moral compass.

Sandra Lean stated during her video with Jane, which can be viewed and listened to here (Extracts below begin at approx 48:28);

One other thing that I wanted to bring in, the Post Office – so, there’s been this big case about all these people that were accused, some of them convicted for stealing from the Post Office

It was actually the Post Office’s own software that had introduced that was miscalculating and making it look like there was money missing when it wasn’t, and they’ve had quite a success in the courts, the Postmasters that took that case that case to court.  So, just to clarify, was that the system

That was in place in Robin and Diana’s Post Office?

Sandra Lean

Jane Metcalfe responded by stating the following;

Yeah. Yeah, exactly the same system.  And at appeal we were able to prove there was no – at appeal we were able to talk about that. But the Post Office Horizon case is massive.  I don’t want to say too much about it really because it’s kind of ongoing.  Because Robin had – Robin’s team – Robin has – another application has gone into the CCRC, the Criminal Case Review Commission, with lots of new evidence in it.  And hopefully this time the CCRC will see that this man is innocent and even though they’ve had previous applications, this one’s got more clarity in it.  The lawyers are as we speak, preparing an addendum, which is in addition to the CCRC application because Robin’s application went in in December and the judgment didn’t come through for the Post Office Horizon until after the application had gone in.  So there’s another being prepared now.  But the CCRC have referred loads of cases, which is fantastic.  Loads of Post Office Masters – and as you say, some of them went to prison.  Their lives were ruined by – and the most troubling thing of all is the Post Office knew, the Post Office knew for ten years what the – and they used to tell individual Postmasters.  They’ve had a massive programme on Radio 4, anyone can find it now, it’s out there.  It’s called The Great British – The Great Post Office something or other, it’s been on Radio 4 everyday.  Nick Wallis is one of the investigators who worked on it, a journalist, I’m not sure if he’s a journalist but, anyway, he’s a documentary maker.  He’s a great guy.  I think there’s a programme coming in the next few nights on television about it.  In fact, he wanted to cover Robin’s case.  He contacted me and said ‘How come we’ve never known about this case of Robin Garbutt? I can’t believe I don’t know about this case.’  And there’s hope that sometime we’ll do something on the case.  He’s just been so wrapped up in what they’re doing now with the Post Office Horizon – that at some point there’s a chance that he will do a piece on Robin’s case as well, because it all ties in.

It is not known exactly on what date in 2020 Nick Wallis ‘contacted’ Jane Metcalfe about Diana Garbutt’s psychopathic killers fraudulent public relations campaign, and although Jane has been/and is sadly being duped, conned and exploited – she was right when she claimed to Sandra ‘…it all ties in’..

On the 25th of February 2020, Iain McNicol had raised Diana Garbutt’s psychopathic killers name during a House of Lords debate (Transcript here), an excerpt reads;

There were other cases influenced by Horizon’s problems. Its records were used as evidence against Robin Garbutt, who was accused of stealing money and murdering his wife.
