M25 Three Appeal
artdoc May=1993

The M25 Three - Raphael Rowe, Michael Davis and Randolph Johnson
from south London - have been informed that their appeal hearing
will begin on 21 June at the Court of Appeal in the Strand (see
Statewatch vol 2 no 6). The date of the appeal was announced amid
concern at the decision, in January by the Lord Chief Justice,
Lord Taylor, to allow the prosecution to withhold evidence from
the defence. Lord Taylor's decision that in `exceptional' cases
information could be withheld reverses The Court of Appeal ruling
that led to the release of Judith Ward in May 1992.
Michael Mansfield, QC for Raphael Rowe and Michael Davis,
commented that `the ruling runs against the grain of justice'.
He added: `The Crown must at the very least reveal the category
of the material so the defence can make some sort of
representation on why it should be disclosed and why it is
relevant to the case'.
