Daphne I have already posted a comment along the lines of what is to follow but I can’t find it published and am really interested in your answer.

Here is my question: Hypothetical scenario: Judge is judging a person accused of some sexual crime. The man in the dock has slept with one of the judge’s siblings or has had some sort of adulterous relationship with him/her. Should the judge refrain from hearing the case if he knows of the matter?

[Daphne – OF COURSE.]

The officer who saw Daphne peering from behind a window must either have X-ray vision or been to the wrong house.

Matt – just true – it will drag on for years – at least just before next elections: Consuelo becomes a judge; her brother Minister of “Justice”; her present-case lawyer a magistrate; one of her police boyfriends, Commissioner of Police. Any more vacancies? Something MUST be found for Musumeci.

[Daphne – MEPA Chairman and CEO]

In reply to Matt.

‘All it takes is a change of behaviour’. No. It takes a lot more than that. The decent thing to do would be to resign and disappear into the sunset. That would show respect for the institution she’s meant to serve – and I mean justice, not the courts themselves.

Wearing clothes suitable for her age and figure would help too, but that would work solely at a personal level. It’ll make little to no difference to anyone else.

Not that I’m doubting your version of events, but in this report, it says “Police Inspector Sandro Camilleri said that the police had called at Mrs Caruana Galizia’s residence on July 2, 4, 7, last Sunday and on Monday and every time the officers were not able to deliver the summons.” Did they come on July 2, 4 and 7 as well?

[Daphne – As I explained, on 4th July the police knew exactly where I was because they were prosecuting me for asking whether Charlon Gouder has been with any nice whores lately. On 2 July they definitely did NOT come because I was working in the garden all day and would have seen them (it was a Saturday). And on the 7th, I wouldn’t know as I was out most of the day so I’ll take their word for it. But taking the word of the police is a big mistake, as I know for a fact.]

In reply to Dee. Yes, he earns his income from property sale commissions. Hence the confusion with the Assistant Commissioner.
