My friend Marion Millar has had all charges dropped against her.
For standing up against the sexual coercion of lesbians, the medical abuse of gender nonconforming children and the harassment of feminists, she was targeted by police and activists, and sometimes by police acting as activists. Her trial would have been a humiliation for both Scotland’s police and David Paisley, but nonetheless it’s a relief that she won’t have to deal with the stress any longer. Shame on Scotland’s police for facilitating the abuse of a feminist.
Here’s the press release:
David McKie, Solicitor for Marion Millar, issued the following statement on her behalf:Â
‘My client is very pleased to have received confirmation that the case against her had been discontinued by the Crown. She had intended to defend the charge against her vigorously had it proceeded to trial and this decision brings a very stressful period to an end. In her view, it is the right decision for a whole number of reasons, not least of which is the cost to the public purse. Â
She has asked me to thank her legal team of Joanna Cherry QC, Paul Harvey and Levy & McRae. Â
Most of all, she would like to thank everyone who has supported her throughout this case including her family and friends, those who turned up at court, those who donated to her crowdfund and the many thousands who wished her well online and in person. That helped her greatly during a very stressful period in her life.’Â
Oh this is brilliant news! I cried a bit! So glad & relieved for Marion. But it's an utter disgrace she's been put through this nightmare. (How I'd love to be a fly on the wall of a certain bus stop "actor" right now.)
I would hope there would be some consequences for vexatious litigants (isn't he behind the nonsense being aimed at Ceri Black?) but I suspect there won't be. So pleased for Marion.
