Simon Jones Memorial Canmpaign | 30.07.2002 11:23

The trial of four supporters of the Simon Jones Memorial campaign following a protest last December has been adjourned until September. The adjourment was sought by the Crown Prosecution Service to allow them to comply with
their statutory duty of disclosure.

The next hearing is set for 2.15PM ON 29TH JULY 2002 AT WORTHING MAGISTRATES COURT, Christchurch Road, Worthing. The trial is set to take place some time after that date.

Anne Jones (Simon's mother), Emma Aynsley (Simon's girlfriend at the the time of his death) and Sean Currey (who was working with Simon when he was killed) are expected to be giving evidence at the trail. The trial is
expected to last five to six days.

Farah Bishnani, Crispin Dowler, Sarah McLaughlin and Carly North, all of Brighton, are being charged under section 241 of the Trade Union and Labour Relations (consolidation) Act 1992 following a protest at the Shoreham dock where Simon Jones was killed in 1998. on 3rd December 2001. All the accused face a maximum sentence of six months in jail if found guilty.
