Was a witness in the UDM case a few years back. Didn't think I'd get called but ended up in the witness box for what felt like an eternity.
Remember Greatrex staring at me the whole time with a scowl on his face as I happily told them of his involvement
My memory would become very hazy if they read out my address.I got called up many years ago by the prosecution.
Discovered I was sitting next to the accused mates as I waited to give evidence.
Was told to keep everything simple and don’t go into stories, stick to the facts.
Got into the dock and they read out my home address , so because of the nature of the crime I expected a visit from his mates, but thankfully it didn’t happen.
He got sent down for several years.
I doubt I’d do it again to be honest.
You might find it gets canned at the last minute if the accused decides to change his or her plea.
Union of Democratic Mineworkers I reckon.Whats UDM?
Found out today I'm being called as a witness. I gave a really basic statement to police a while back and didn't expect it to reappear to be honest. So a bit of a surprise to find I'm being dragged into it. Can't really see why I'm involved, they must have had better witnesses than me!
Anyone done it? Any tips? Do the legal types give you any advice on what to do before you go in. Do you get to see the proceedings beforehand? Will I get to see the statement I gave?
I've never even seen inside a
courtroom except on TV.

Maybe it’s because you gave a statement![]()
Seems to be the theme.I've only been called as a witness once but the accused changed their appeal to guilty at the last minute so I wasn't needed.
Stop worrying, just enjoy your day in court. Tell us later he got sent downI'm amazed that there was any evidence in my statement that would be of use. I wasn't exactly the best witness, my descriptions were vague at best. I didnt have the best insight and at the time the copper said that it was unlikely it would come to court and if it did it was unlikely there was anything in my statement that would require me to attend.
Months later without contact and it appears there must have been some valid information, but I'm damned if I can think what. At least someone on here has said you get to revisit the statement, because I couldn't even tell what time of day it all happened now!

Can't believe you fell for that old chestnut.When I gave it the police said it was "highly unlikely to get to court as the accused would probably plead guilty" and "if it did, I'd be unlikely to be involved".
