Withdrawing A Statement

[Sam77]

I need some advice on how I actually withdraw a statement. Can I just go to the police station and make a second statement.

sorry EDDIE, cross posted, AB slow tonight this end.

[EDDIE51]

Don't worry nalit. I expect few on here realize the implication when it is a Trident operation . As you and I know Trident are a specialist unit of the Met who handle only the most serious gun,gang,drugs,knife crime in London. Luckily they also run a very robust and efficient witness protection program specifically for situations such as this.

I'll say it....again....

The question is about withdrawing a statement; it could be about 'anything' and the procedure is the same.

Sam77 now knows how to do this and will be advised of the options/consequences, etc....etc.... of her doing so at the time.
Particularly by the professional people dealing with this matter.

Had to admit EDDIE, I had to google trident as it wasn't something that I was too familiar with, though I'd heard about it. (guns, gangs, drugs not really my scene. Knives a different matter lol) BUT I just don't understand the sarcasm when someone on here is trying to help another.

[nailit]

Jack, we KNOW about the original question, but it was expanded upon....

[Islay]

My concern is that lots of legal advice provided by Eddie has been proven as incorrect!

[EDDIE51]

Islay This is correct Google 'Trident Unit Met Police' if you do not believe me!

[nailit]

Islay, lots of advice on this site has been proven incorrect, its not an advice site...its a question and answer site. Not quiet the same.

[Islay]

Eddie I know about trident thank you

[nailit]

Islay, lots of 'legal experts' not so long ago were predicting that I should now be a guest of her majesty, I'm not. Does that make them less expert?

[DTCwordfan]

Islay needs help in withdrawing many an AB statement....

[EDDIE51]

AB actually tells you not to take advice on here in place of proper advice from a lawyer, in many cases I just tell people to get a lawyer.
In this case a lawyer would have said exactly the same, particularly the advice to use the witness protection scheme. But it would have taken a lot more time to consult a lawyer.

I feel like I'm living in an episode of a low budget police thriller where the audience are writing the story in real time and in a foreign language

[murraymints]

any Trident case would not permit a withdrawl of statement and one would most likely find themselves in protective custody if such concerns were expressed... just my opinion..for what it's worth...

[nailit]

Islay, AGAIN... the law 'experts' on here predicted that I should be in prison now, but I am not...
Does that make them less expert?

[jackthehat]

OK.....How about not hijacking Sam's thread?

I think she has received sufficient advice on how to withdraw her statement.

[nailit]

What about you, jack, not hijacking sams thread with a dig at EDDIE then?

[ladybirder]

I wonder if this first time poster will ever come back to this site again?
