Stuart Syvret
On the first day of his appeal hearing against convictions for breaking the data protection law, driving offences and contempt of court, the ex-politician said he had been protecting the public and should never have been prosecuted.
He described his conviction as a ‘miscarriage of justice’ that had been ‘riddled’ with politicisation throughout and urged the court to grant his appeal and throw out the charges against him.
