Re: Sean Emmett
Whoa! I have no idea of guilt or not but he says that he paid the fine ages ago. In fact 50% more than they quoted. His friends feel like it's a 7 days vendetta and not to believe everything in the papers and that The National picked it up. That is naive too. However, on the fine they are adamant that it is paid and had been for a long while.
There is a lot of righteous anger from the UK about the legal system here, which we all can have sympathy with as we often feel the same way. Whatever the situation, he should be either accused or given his passport back.

Why hasn't he got his passport back? The Police say it's because he's not paid his fine - which would make sense as that is why his passport is being held.
I'm guessing that at least the news coverage has now brought things to a head.

If that is the case then I'd be down the police station (sober) making an official complaint of lying against both papers.

But the Lee Brown case just sort of tailed off, I wondered if a deal was struck. It does seem to be a whiff of presumed guilt over Emmett, no idea whether it is justified but it's odd that they can just keep a passport with no justification and the BE aren't doing anything about it.

Re: Sean Emmett
My friend flew out for a brunch with him at the weekend and didn't contact me, so I guess I made all the wrong noises. Anyway, looks resolved now.
