Settle down, people!
I said it was on the 18th because I misread an e-mail that used the phrase "last Friday". It was referring to a different conversation that occured before the court case. Sorry about that.
A researcher named James Michael has confirmed that the case did indeed happen at the Ringwood Magistrates Court No.7 on Monday 21 July 2008. He is chasing a copy of the transcript for us. When I have it in my hand, I will see what I can do to make it available to you all.
Creampuff, as far as the gentleman concerned not posting here. Until a couple of days ago he didn't even have a profile. He had to register to view this thread. Internet forums aren't his style. And before you ask, no, I don't know his profile name.
