=========================
IN THE PUBLIC INTEREST
Fellow Citizens
Whistleblower Andy McCardle (RIP) died suddenly on the evening of 26
December 2004, in the State Hospital, Carstairs. An inquest must be
held. Mr McCardle (54) had been in good spirits - he was expecting to
attend court this week to secure his release.
On 5 December 2003, the Edinburgh High Court of Justiciary declared that
Mr McCardle's two-year detention in the State Hospital, from 2001, had
been illegal therefore he was "a free man". His freedom was short-lived,
though: no sooner had he stepped outside the court, when he was forced
into a van and taken back to Carstairs - despite the lack of production
of any warrant. A warrant was later produced, dated 4 December 2003, the
day before the Court's declaration.
Mr McCardle complained to the Scottish Legal Services Ombudsman about
the Faculty of Advocates' handling of his complaint against Graham Bell,
the Court-appointed Amicus Curiae (friend of the court) who, although
securing his release, did not present the vital pieces of evidence which
would prove criminality within the State Hospital. The Faculty stated,
and the Ombudsman agreed, that Mr Bell had properly exercised his
discretion (not to do so). In view of this, Mr McCardle had good reason
to fear for his life whilst incarcerated in a State facility whose
employees had vested interests in his demise, and who felt protected
from exposure.
The State Hospital's consultant psychiatrist, Dr Lindsay Thomson, held a
care review on 25 November 2004 to assess the effect of forcibly
injected anti-psychotic drugs on Mr McCardle's long-held 'delusional
belief'. Dr Thomson concluded that this 'delusional belief' - of
collusion between Strathclyde Police, named lawyers, court clerks,
judges and psychiatrists to pervert the course of justice by preventing
him testifying in court and producing evidence of State involvement in
the illegal drugs trade - was not cured. She therefore felt duty-bound
to continue to hold and treat Mr McCardle as long as he held such
belief.
Was it co-incidence that the legal watchdog website,
Scottishlawyerwatch.org, was unlawfully closed after the Parliamentary
and Health Service Ombudsman read the damning evidence, publicly
displayed, about Mr McCardle's illegal detention and criminality within
the State Hospital? Did Andy McCardle pay the ultimate price for his
efforts to expose the endemic corruption in the legal system, the
police, the court service, the medical profession and the judiciary? Was
he, in fact, murdered?
Many questions need to be answered.
