Robert Green at Aberdeen sheriff court


Robert Green, campaigner for an investigation into the alleged abuse of Hollie Greig, appeared at Aberdeen sheriff court on Monday 15 December 2014. He was hoping that his bail condition would be relaxed but this did not happen and he will have to continue making the three mile trip there are back every day to report to his local police station at Warrington throughout the Christmas and New Year period.
Mr Macintosh was the barrister representing Robert Green at the short interim hearing but sheriff Fleetwood who has presided over several hearings and who granted Robert Green bail recused himself because of his association with sheriff Buchanan which has intensified due to his promotion.
Sheriff Fleetwood was not in a position to make any decision and the case will continue on 13 January 2015 when there will be a new sheriff.
All of this is very unfortunate. Robert Green, who spent 96 days in prison without trial, has now been under house arrest for about 200 days.
While the announcement of an inquiry into child abuse in Scotland is welcome, we must ask why campaigners against child abuse are given such a hard time.
