I do not prepose to comment upon Glens conviction but wish to point out what I believe to be gross negligence by his defence counsel.
The prosecution found two packages of cocaine at a property, alledgedly owned by one Mr Fielder, partner of Glens co -Defendent, one of which; the jury decided, was supplied by Glen.
When sentencing the prosecution asked the judge to bear in mind that Glen had been to devon on nine occasions and invited him to multiply the amount of pure cocaine found at Mr Fielders property by nine, this totals over 600 grammes of pure cocaine, this puts a person into a category two for sentencining.
Having seen the evidence presented and hearing that one of the packages was accepted by the prosecution to have already have been there prior to Glens arrival prosecution were only entitled to say one of the packages should be multiplied by nine to asscertain the true involvement of Glen.
The fact his barrister sat on his well paid arse instead of pointing out the prosecution had erred by doubling the relevent quantity which in turn allowed the judge to pass such a savage sentence.
Why did this go unchallenged?
Two possible conclusions can be drawn from this, 1 the defence was incompetent 2 they did a deal long before court.
Consider this the package said to have been delivered by Glen was 174 grammes at 16% which is 27.84 grammes of pure cocaine multiply this by nine and you come to a conspiracy worth only 250 grammes not the 600 the prosecution claimed and Glens counsel meekly aknowledged. Glens people don't allow the same people to handle his appeal they don't have a clue
