Syvret wants to call A-G as his witness

By Jo Hutchison

SENATOR Stuart Syvret wants to call the Attorney General as a witness in his abuse of process hearing, which he says centres on a ‘criminal conspiracy against him’.

Yesterday in the Magistrate’s Court the politician said that he wanted to call William Bailhache to the dock as well as suspended police chief Graham Power and psychiatrist Dr Gill Blackwood. He also wants to call his partner, Grouville Deputy Carolyn Labey, as a witness.

Senator Syvret (43) is charged with driving without a licence and failing to notify the relevant authorities of a change of address. He denies both offences. He also faces two charges under the Data Protection Law relating to material published on his internet blog.

The Senator is arguing that there has been an abuse of process leading up to the charges against him and yesterday he was in court to list the witnesses he intends to call to a hearing on 19 October.
