Forgive Me Father DAVID
Congratulations

Congratulations

Susan knew she was in trouble. She had been out partying at her friend Jessica’s house to celebrate her engagement to David, and as was often the case she’d consumed one glass of wine too many. Her friend Naomi had offered to drive her home but Susan had refused, knowing she’d be needing her car the next day.

When she first saw the police car behind her she had unwisely opted to avoid getting pulled over by making a break for it, and at first it looked as though she had succeeded.

First, she took a sharp left on to Church Lane at close to 50 miles-an-hour, followed by another sharp left onto Coldnailhurst Avenue and then another quick left at the round about and then zipping into her driveway

Imagine her shock and dismay when a minute later a police car pulled into her driveway, as if they somehow knew who she was and where she lived. And that proved to be exactly the case, as the officer who got out was Kayleigh O’Donell, Susan’s next door neighbour. Susan moaned aloud when she realized what had happened.

“Please step out of the car, Miss Mattimore,” officer O’Donell said as she walked up to the driver’s side. “And I’ll need to see your license and registration.”

“Oh, come on, officer, give me a break!” Susan said, climbing out of her Silver Rav 4. “What have I done this time?”

“You know very well what you’ve done. I’ve got speeding, reckless driving, eluding a police officer, avoiding arrest, and unless I’m mistaken, somebody’s been drinking and driving?. ″Is this your car″

Susan moaned. ″No, it’s my husbands’ car″ she said. ″Are you insured to drive it?″ ″I think so″ replied Susan. Seconds later she was handcuffed and sitting in the backseat of the police car. Whilst Susan sat in the back of the car, Officer O’Donell sent a message through her radio, ″Can you do a PNC on vehicle reg please, 12AV 13″. A minute later a response came back. The car was registered to David and Susan wasn’t insured to drive it. ″Does David know you are driving his car?″ asked the officer. ″Of course he bloody knows″ she said believing the officer was asking a stupid question. ″I’ll also be arresting him in due course″ “I’ve got you, Susan. This is an iron-clad case.”

A new law was passed governing how suspects were to be questioned. The new law included, amongst other changes, mandated audio recording of all suspect interviews, the right to legal representation for suspects and limits on detention before charge. This resulted from growing judicial and public criticism of police conduct when dealing with suspects, most notably arising from the mid-1970′s cases of the Birmingham Six and Guildford Four.

These were two groups of suspects arrested for terrorist attacks on the UK mainland whose confessions formed the basis of cases against them, and which were later found to have been coerced by physical and psychological abuse.

E

ventually, the convictions were quashed. The system didn’t want to accept that the police misbehaved in such cases, because, first of all, that would mean that you couldn’t trust the police, and secondly, it would mean that the real offenders were still out there.

Officer O’Donell was in the small minority of officers skilled as interviewers. Many officers went into the interview room assuming guilt. It’s incredibly damaging to suggestive subjects if they know the officer doesn’t believe them. But also it means that as an interviewer, you only listen to certain parts of the evidence. You ignore things that don’t fit with your script. If there’s strong evidence in a case, that’s your best chance of getting a charge – quite simple really.

Officer O’Donell had to attend the week-long course to qualify as a skilled interviewer, which covered interviewing witnesses, and was eventually undertaken by every operational officer in the country. In the UK, there is a high degree of cooperation and standardization between all forces. The training was a massive commitment, but it helped avoid miscarriages, and it delivered better justice.

Back at the station, Officer O’Donell booked Susan in at the custody desk, she was in shock, how did all of this happen? Her skin was cool and clammy, her face was pale and her breathing was rapid. ″I’m going to throw up″ she thought to herself ″What’s the reason for arrest″ asked the custody officer, ″Driving that does not show reasonable consideration for other persons using the road or pathways, Driving without insurance, and Driving or attempting to drive while above the legal limit or unfit through drink″ answered the officer. ″Susan I must remind you of your right to free and independent legal advice under the duty solicitor scheme. I must advise you that you are entitled to free legal advice at any time. Do you understand? I must also advise you that you may speak to a legal representative on the telephone. Do you wish to do so?’

Whilst Susan waited for her duty solicitor to arrive, Officer O’Donell prepared a written suspect interview plan. This was a tool she used to assess:

All available evidence, the purpose of the interview

The aims and objectives

The structure of the interview for example: questioning types officers’ roles and possible suspect reactions

The points to prove for the offence(s) in question

Any defences that are available

Using exhibits and other evidence

The value of planning with another officer

The time you will require

Having stationery and any exhibits available

Make the necessary arrangements for an appropriate adult to attend if appropriate

Consider the benefit of sketch plans either prepared by you or drawn by the suspect

Officer O’Donell also prepared the notes to introduce which she had made of her earlier conversation with Susan

At the start of the recorded interview Officer O’Donell removed the manufacturer’s wrapping from 2 new tapes explaining to Susan her actions and the purpose of the equipment. She loaded the tapes into the recorder and pressed the ‘record’ button making the alarm sound while the tape started

Officer O’Donell said ″Today is August 18th 2003, and the time by my watch is 0133am. Present during this interview is myself PC O’Donell. Also present is PC Ollie Turton, state your full name and address please she said to Susan ″Susan Claridge, 19a Coldnailhurst Avenue″ answered Susan , ″legal representative Mrs Dawn Hawthorn″ said Susan’s solicitor. ″There are no other persons present.

We are in an interview room at Essex Police - Pitsea Police Station. Susan, I must remind you that you do not have to say anything. But it may harm your defence if you do not mention when questioned something, which you later rely on in court. Anything you do say may be given in evidence. I’m also advising you that you will be issued a copy of Notice to person whose interview has been recorded at the end of the interview. This interview is being audio recorded″.

Officer O’Donell ″On August 17th at 1234am, You was observed driving a Silver RAV 4, registration number 12AV 13 wasn’t you?″

Susan ″Yes″

Officer O’Donell ″Can you explain to me the reason why you refused to stop when signalled to do so?″

Susan ″I had been out partying at a friend Jessica’s house to celebrate my engagement to David. I admit, I consumed one glass of wine too many. My friend Naomi had offered to drive me home but I refused, as I knew I needed the car the next day.. errrrr today. When I first saw the police car behind me I panicked and to avoid getting pulled over I drove off″

Officer O’Donell ″You are not insured to drive that vehicle are you?″

Susan ″No″

Officer O’Donell ″Who is the owner of that vehicle?″

Susan ″My husband, Dave″

Officer O’Donell ″Do you have consent to drive the vehicle?″

Susan ″Of course I bloody do″

Officer O’Donell ″Susan, so you are telling me that your husband gave you permission to drive his car without appropriate insurance

Susan ″No, err I didn’t mean it like that″

Officer O’Donell ″So you’re telling me now that you are insured to drive the vehicle?″

Susan ″No I’m not″

Officer O’Donell ″After I signalled for you to stop, what did you do?″

Susan ″I drove off″

Officer O’Donell ″For the purpose of the tape, I am showing a road map to Susan which highlights the route she drove before coming to a stop. First, you took a sharp left on to Church Lane which driving at 49 miles-an-hour on a road designed as a 30 zone. You took a sharp left onto Coldnailhurst Avenue and then you took the first exit left at the round about. You then stopped your car, and turned off the ignition. That’s correct isn’t it Susan?″

Susan ″Yes″

Officer O’Donell ″OK Susan, I conclude this interview, I will give you a form which will explain the procedure for dealing with this recording and how you can have access to it.’

Susan ″OK, Officer, can I make a phone call?″

Officer O’Donell agreed, taking her to the custody desk, first to let the custody officer deal with the charges and then to let Susan make the call.

Susan dialled and waited for her husband to answer. ″Hello″ came a rough voice, ″Babe it’s me, I’m at the Police station and won’t be home until tomorrow″ she said. ″What, why? What’s happened″ questioned David. ″I don’t have time to explain″ she said before putting the phone down.

Susan was remanded until the following day and then taken to Chelmsford Crown Court where she admitted to her reckless behaviour which was dealt with, she received a £500 fine and a 12 month driving ban.

When Susan got home the following day, she was both hungry for food and for David, she was almost begging him to fuck her. She was getting overwhelmed with the fact that he was there to fuck her as her man. She was asking, rather offering herself to him and be the man for the slutty, whore woman. She was asking to have no sexual inhibitions with her ever. David was so heated up and horny and hard that he could not stop himself even if he wanted too and so, he rammed his long, thick cock in her dripping pussy; a heaven for his cock.
