On
11/8/93 Sandra asked Sergeant Gary Patterson in his office at the Wanganui East Police Station, "What are you going to do
about the assault on Jack last Monday?
Patterson replied, "Ah well it's still being investigated but I don't think
it will go ahead. As far as we are concerned Jack has no credibility with us at all and without some independent corroborative
evidence we won't be taking any prosecution."
Sandra asked, "Tell me why Jack is not credible?
Patterson, "Because
he's a convicted liar."
Patterson said all that before any of the witnesses had been spoken to by the Police.
Roy
Green was spoken to about the matter on 13/8/93 and a Mr. Aitchison, a passing motorist who could well have seen the assault,
was not spoken to until 19/8/93.
I'd like to ram this
letter down Patterson's throat!
Between 13/8/93 and 10/9/93 Roy Green told Constable John Grace, who was also stationed
at Wanganui East, that Britton had assaulted me on 2/8/93 and that he had lied to Constable Kirby about it because Britton
had told him to. (Britton perverted the course of justice) He also told Grace that he would not lie for Britton in Court.
That fits in with Grace saying to me on 10/9/93 "If you lay a charge on Britton (a private prosecution) Green might tell the
truth in Court." Grace knew the truth about the matter but he kept it to himself. So Grace was guilty of gross neglect of
his duty. Grace should have charged Green with making a false statement to Kirby and then gone after Britton for perverting
the course of justice and assault. Did Grace tell Patterson what Green had told him? I wouldn't be a bit surprised if Patterson
was in on the cover-up.

It didn't matter that Britton was a self confessed liar, he was to be protected come what
may.
