The Roseanne Catt Trial

Already it is day 22 of the trial. We are late to press!
This case is fantastic! It covers ground that exposes the thorough erosion of so much that is good in our society - the issues themselves become clouded by disbelief knowing this has happened at all. Roseanne Catt is already the longest serving female prisoner in NSW.

An archive of the past days before the judge can be read, and the full story exposed by following the links at right.

These accounts are emails sent by a staunch, and long time supporter of Roasanne Catt's - the effervescent Sister Mary Court. Let her emails tell the story...

DAY 22

Hello everyone,

The Catt boys were on the stand today and talk about a "chip off the old block"! One raved on like his father but all he managed to do was discredit himself by getting muddled up in his lies. They both insisted they were under Roseanne's control. However it would have been a bit hard for her whilst in jail to force them to write beautiful letters to her. One denied he'd written to her in jail until the brilliant barrister produced his letter. Even after she went to jail they still did not change their statements until recently. The boys had even taken on Roseanne's maiden name Beckett and it wasn't until 1995 that they changed it back to Catt.

One of the boys told the Court how Adrian Newell showed him the rock and a picture of the gun. When asked where did Newell get the rock and photographs the Catt boy said Newell got them from the Court house and had them at his place. Newell was showing him all the stuff from the Court house around the time of the Sixty Minutes program.

The Judge talked about the embargo on the Barry Catt sexual asssault trial stating he wanted to know the whole history and that the Crown should go about having the suppression order lifted. The Crown and the Defence both agreed they would jointly pursue this matter of having the transcripts unsealed. (Thank you LORD!)

Tomorrow one of the boys will continue on the stand and then the other Catt girl.

Please continue to warfare in prayer until those transcripts are unsealed, and then all will truly be revealed.

GOD BLESS YOU IN THIS UNPRECEDENTED SEASON OF THE TRUTH BEING REVEALED!

PS: Finally, after 22 days into the Inquiry, a security lady was there looking after Roseanne and her team, escorting them in and out of the Court room / rest room / and out of the building. What a refreshing change (especially with the gang of 3 lurking about!)



DAY 21

Hello everyone,

It is a very sad situation when the children, for whom Roseanne went to jail and were very supportive of her during her trial, have turned around and now completely gone against her. However, last week when Barry Catt was on the stand he mentioned how after Roseanne was incarcerated, he had received victims compensation but the children had missed out. He continued to say "but with this coming up they might be able to have another go at it!". One of the Catt boys had been boasting how they will get a lot of money out of this. (Forgive me Lord for being cynical!).

The judge told the media today that the children's names were not to be used so therefore I won't either. However what I can tell you is that one of the Catt girls whose new evidence had been produced, admitted that she had spoken to no-one from 1991 to January 2003 about all the new evidence. She kept saying "we're telling the truth now" which implies that they have all perjured themselves in previous trials.

Whilst on the stand answering questions by the barrister there was a woman in the gallery seen by at least 3 others present, giving signals to the Catt girl, by nodding her head forward (yes) or side to side (no).

Despite all the lies, it was still a very good day because the Catt girl was obviously not a good liar!

Tomorrow one of the Catt boys will be on the stand. Please continue to pray that all liars will be ensnared in their own traps.

GOD BLESS YOU IN THIS UNPRECEDENTED SEASON OF THE TRUTH BEING REVEALED.
