FAKE SHEIKH VICTIMS APPEAL REJECTED BY CCRC.
15th June 2018.
This week the Criminal Cases Review Commission has made their final decision in the case of Mazher Mahmood Victim Alex Smith aka Jonathan Royle Hypnotist, Magician & Psychic Entertainer.
And for reasons that seem to be negligent they have decided NOT to refer his conviction to the Court of Appeal despite numerous good reasons why they should do so.
Indeed these reasons, facts & evidence are all laid out clearly on Royle’s blog page at www.circusofthemind.net which you may want to read in full detail for more information.
May I also draw your attention to the BBC Panorama documentary entitled “Last Chance for Justice” about failings in the work of the CCRC that was broadcast on Tuesday 5th June 2018 as per:
https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b09zg7l1
Sadly I Can now personally relate to the complaints made in that investigation about how the CCRC may not be fit for purpose, for several main reasons:
a) They seem to have been extremely Lazy and just Copied and Pasted things the Single Judge said to compile their decision/s.
b) There are factual errors in their documents such as saying I was convicted in Feb 1999 when it was in fact 1st March 1999 and also the number of coins mentioned etc is also wrong as explained earlier on the page of www.circusofthemind.net
c) They have not contacted the vast majority of people who are mentioned on this blog page and linked to on this page. This is important as this page (www.circusofthemind.net) and its contents DID form part of my application to be reviewed and it seems to have largely been ignored.
e) They have concluded that everything I sent them was already considered by the single Judge in my earlier appeal which again is NOT TRUE as new information regarding the fact I and other Fake Sheikh Victims were drugged has come to light since the single judge looked at my case.
f) Other important things have occurred and come to light since the single judge looked at my case not least of which is Mahmood was convicted for Conspiracy to Pervert the course of Justice.
g) Despite several assurances over the years that my case would be looked at in conjunction with all the other Fake Sheikh victims cases that were/are with the CCRC at the same time, it seems that only the case of Boxer Herbie Hides was actually considered along with mine, despite the fact Mahmood used the same Modus Operandi with all of us.
Ultimately I do not believe for one second that my case has been looked at properly and/or investigated fully by the CCRC.
Rest assured I/we shall NOT be giving up until Justice has been achieved and my conviction (and those of my fellow victims mentioned on this page of www.circusofthemind.net ) are overturned.
Even if that means getting a Judicial Review into how the CCRC made their decision, whatever it takes this fight for Justice and Truth is not over yet.
Please feel free to publicize this travesty of justice and should anything further (not yet mentioned on www.circusofthemind.net ) about the Fake Sheikh Mazher Mahmood and his illegal activities and dishonest methods come to light please do not hesitate to let me know as it could well prove helpful in my impending reapplication to the CCRC and/or potential Judicial Review application against them.
Many thanks

I’ve been following this case although details on it seem somewhat scarce, have all the victims appeals been rejected?
As of Friday 22nd June 2018 it is true to say that all victims I know of
have had their Court of Appeal Appeals rejected, but that happened years
ago for most of them hence applications went to the CCRC.
I know that myself and one other person have been turned down by CCRC so
far but it not my place to say whom.
All others are awaiting a decision which is due anytime in the next few
weeks hopefully.
In any event I am in process of getting NEW EVIDENCE and -will soon be
re-applying to the CCRC as I don not believe they looked at my case
properly at all as illustrated by all the evidence I have on this page
which is just SOME (a small part) of what was submitted to them.
Thank you for the response, this case seems to have been going on for quite a long time, only really receiving media attention when Mazher Mahmood was jailed in 2016. I’m not even sure if he has been released despite supposedly serving 15 months, it hasn’t been reported anywhere as far as I can tell. It really has been a hard story to follow. What do you think the likelihood is that other victims of Mahmood will receive justice?
I have absolutely no doubt that sooner or later all of us including myself
WILL get justice and get our convictions overturned. New evidence is coming
to light every week and so we can reapply (those who need to) to the CCRC
in the very near future. Were regulations to change then we could get referred
on the issue of non disclosure which is explained on my blog page.
That’s excellent news, all those who were victimized by Mahmood deserve justice and compensation. Rupert Murdoch certainly needs to be taken down a peg or two. How many civil claims have been made against Mahmood? The last I heard there were 18 claimants and the claims would cost News UK upwards from £800 million. Is this figure really true? I hope it is because seeing corrupt corporations like Murdoch’s get their comeuppance is truly a welcoming thought.
Purely out of curiosity, how long does the legal process take after a CCRC appeal is successful and it is referred to the court of appeal? I’ve heard compensation money can take months or even years to pay out. This seems rather disheartening for the victims. The Murdoch Media Empire needs to pay for its crimes.
It can indeed take a long time, maybe even a couple of years for such claims to be
settled, every case is different though so impossible to say really.
I hope all victims get justice and compensation money as soon as possible. I have spoken to one of the other victim’s who will remain nameless to protect his privacy, who claims he was told that money has already been set aside for him. Although as you said, all cases are different, were you ever told such a thing?
Likely they were referring to the fact that many newspapers in light of the Hacking
scandal have set aside funds for their legal costs and damages payments. Murdoch
never pays out without putting on a good legal battle first from what I’ve seen
reported.
Hello once again, I have returned. I was wondering if there have been any developments, do you have an update on whether the other victims of the Fake Sheikh appeals have been rejected? I certainly hope not.
NO news yet on anyone else all still with CCRC as far as I know…
However as shown on page loads more evidence of my innocence and
Mahmoods guilt has come to light!

I’ve seen! Your page has copious amounts of damning evidence against that unscrupulous “journalist”. Although I’m having a hard time getting it to load, there is so much on there!
