Summary of 2018 – a failure, a success, an unknown

We could write a lot about 2018.

We will limit to 3 categories:

1. Failure
The main failure is that Martha is still in prison.
Engagement of many people, next TV program, few press articles, websites, didn’t make any important change.
Are we anywhere further?
Rather we’ve lost time, health, and more…

2. Success
In the success category we put two situations:

First:
Th…, s… – how to say this politely – la…, let’s use the word: parting with Martha’s former attorney.
The attorney pointed by accusing GARDA.
GARDA, who came to such brilliant conclusions. Criminal Fantasy. Parody, Caricature, Farce, Grotesque  or Drama, or rather Tragedy with elements of Absurd.
Irish “classics”.
We finally managed to part with the attorney effectively only on May 20, 2018.
Way, way to late.
Martha assessed, that it would be better if she defended herself only with family and friends.
In was an extremely and exceptionally effective attorney only in one matter – keeping Martha from changing him.
We don’t understand this.
If you can’t cope, you can’t do it, why do you want to be there at all cost?
In some countries, first instance attorney wouldn’t be able to lead the case in next instances.
If Martha needed an “assurer” that it will be all right, we would hire some good motivational speaker or a psychologist, not an attorney.
But Martha’s former attorney did everything well and he doesn’t understand why this happened.

Second:
It seems that finally Martha, and her family had grown to appropriate actions.
Naive faith in honesty and justice in Ireland have ended.

3. Unknown
Unexpectedly, current Martha’s attorney has been promoted to this category.
After all our peanyas and admiration, a screeching reality comes out.
All may still be good. Maybe…
Although now it will be very, very hard…
Time will tell…
Will current attorney show exceptional engagement and exceptional effectiveness?
After 2019 will we say that this was a SUCCESS or a FAILURE?
Will the words of one of the people confirm that “In Ireland, you can not trust ANY lawyer”?

Unfortunately we are one of the people happy that 2018 finally ended.
We’re smarter this year.
Painfully smarter.

But are we smart enough, determined enough to lead to positive ending in 2019?

Martha thanks her solicitor Frank Gearty, during a phone call

On Monday, September 24, Martha called her attorney – Frank Gearty.
During the call, she thanked the attorney for his prompt action to protect her car from being destroyed.
Martha fully supports the actions of her current attorney – Frank Gearty.
She’s grateful for every action and preparations for next battles for clearing her from the absurd accusation.

The family thanked the attorney via e-mail on Tuesday, September 25.

Securing Martha’s car is very important.
We must only trust that Irish GARDA will follow clear and unambiguous dispositions of Martha’s attorney.
Probably enough strange things happened in Martha’s case already…
Maybe it’s time for some… normality…

Quick response of the new attorney to an attempt of destroying Martha’s car – thank you

We thank very much to Martha’s current attorney – Frank Gearty, for very quick response to an attempt of destroying Martha’s car.
The attorney firmly turned to GARDA’s Superintendent.
He unambiguously obliged GARDA to properly secure the car.
Under no circumstances may the vehicle be destroyed, or any of important traces be erased which will be analyzed soon.
The car is a  very important evidence both in submitting the case to ECHR, and in re-submitting the case to the Court of Appeal in Ireland.

We thank very much for very quick and very firm response.

We thank the solicitor Frank Gearty, and the new barrister for thorough explaining further actions to Martha

On Saturday, September 15, 2018, Martha’s current solicitor, Frank Gearty, went to visit Martha. Together with the new barrister, they thoroughly explained current situation to Martha, and presented their suggestions regarding next actions.
The meeting lasted for two hours and it was very constructive.
Martha is very glad both about very substantive, professional talk, and about calm atmosphere.

Everything was thoroughly explained to her. Without forcing anything.
Martha was afraid of this meeting. Unnecessarily.
In a free atmosphere she shared her doubts. She understood better the mistakes made so far. Everything was calmly explained to her, and made sure she understood.
But most important is what’s next.
The solicitor and the barrister presented Martha the preparations for next actions.

We thank very much Martha’s current (new) solicitor Frank Gearty.
We thank very much Martha’s ne barrister.

I want to help

Please do not send confidential information to Martha by letter – please use other “path”.

Please do not send Martha important, confidential information or suggestions.

We value very much the desire to help Martha.
Many people suggests some solutions and sends some information.
They concern Martha and they should reach her.
But do they reach her?
Martha is in a place, wher she has guardians (not angels).
If someone decides to send a letter to Martha, first people the letter reaches are those “not angels”.
And they will read, read, read, translate, read, analyze, we don’t know if they won’t start to look at the author, etc…
And later…
Maybe they will decide… someday… to pass the letter to Martha…
Or not…
Or maybe they will hold the letter so long, that  suggestions included in the letter will cease to be valid…

Do we have any proof?
Few examples.
We have information from people, who sent letters to Martha long ago, with a proposal of help, and those letters didn’t reach Martha at all.
In May those “not angels” made it difficult for Martha to change her solicitor. Only thanks to the determination of the family and friends, against GARDA, the solicitor was changed.
Recently, Martha’s family received a letter with suggestions from Martha. The letter arrived only now.
Martha passed the letter for sending long ago. So long ago, that she even forgot she passed such letter.

This few examples show, that GARDA still has interest in the case of Martha and that it is afraid of something in the case.
There are no doubts, that current verdict is ridiculing the logic of Irish legislation.
The change of the verdict will ridicule Irish GARDA.
It will happen sometime…
Some may only count that they will already be retired at that time…
And now the girl suffers…

We ask people having important information, that may be helpful in freeing Martha, to send the information to Martha via “another path”.
Please contact us via mail:        help@helpformartha.org

All extremely important information on Martha’s case passed that way, will reach Martha most quickly and they certainly be complete.
Most important they will stay secret for GARDA.
Please provide information and suggestions without worries.
Martha will be free sooner or later.
May as soon as possible…

We thank you very much for all suggestions addressed for us or for Martha’s solicitor.
Thank you very much for all the direct correspondence to Martha, which supports her mentally in those difficult moments.

First meeting of Martha with the new attorney

On Saturday, May 26, new attorney of Martha – Frank Gearty – had visited her in prison.
It was the first meeting of new attorney with Martha.
The meeting lasted for two hours.
Martha was very pleased with the meeting.
As for actions in Ireland, Martha has a reasonable attitude.
She trusts the new attorney, that he will do everything possible to do in Ireland.

Frank Gearty is taking over of Martha’s case in a difficult moment.
On May 21, the Supreme Court made an unfavorable decision.

Is there any chance for fixing those unfair decisions?
Wasn’t the change too late?

The attorney gets acquainted with the case.
Maybe not everything is lost yet…

Martha finally has HER lawyer! – Thank you Frank Gearty for willing to take Martha’s case.

On May 14, during the talk of the family with Martha, decision about changing the lawyer was made.
It was known for a long time, that the attorney must be change.
The search for the right person continued all the time.
Previous barrister was appointed by GARDA from Arklow.
GARDA from Arklow, meaning the main accusers of Martha, and creators of absurd theories about Martha the stuntwoman and the murderer.
But Irish courts believed in those fantasies, and in almost supernatural abilities of Martha.
In the opinion of the family, Martha’s lawyer didn’t disturb them very much, and maybe, sometimes helped them with his decisions.

There was a situation once, that Martha changed her lawyer.
That time, instead of passing the documents, previous lawyer led to withdrawal of the appointed law firm from the case.

Martha’s case is difficult.
Especially on this stage it requires remarkable attorney.
An attorney, who will not fear of negative reception of Martha in massmedia, in the society, and even between Irish judges.
An attorney who will reveal all of gross deficiencies in Martha’s case.
Deficiencies that Ireland wants to hide so carefully, and lead to that no one else will be interested in Martha’s case.

Now a GREAT MAN and VERY GOOD LAWYER was chosen.
We’re very happy, that Frank Gearty was willing to take Martha’s case.

Dochas Centre prison tried to prevent (?!) Martha from changing the attorney. It wanted to censor, if Martha can sign (?!) the documents about changing the attorney.
Ultimately, despite the difficulties from the prison, such a change finally occured.
May 20, 2018 may be considered as a date of changing of the attorney.

Will this be one of the breakthroughs in the case?
Will other honest Irish people want to help Martha?
Is the change not too late?…
