“34 TO FLY OR TO FALL?
It was ridiculous: my family was expected to pay for all of the defence witnesses to fly to Greece and for their accommodation. If a person in a similar situation to me couldn’t afford to do so, the trial would be completely one-sided. I spoke to Sophie on the phone – she told me that she’d decided to fund-raise for the trial. She organised an event in north London with singers and food, where many people turned up to support our cause. I’m lucky to have an older siste...r who would go to so much effort. I’d always looked up to her growing up – and I still did. She raised thousands of pounds. To be in a foreign prison with so much support back home was overwhelming.
Journal extract – Day 307 – 23 May 2010 Today I went outside and had a walk with American Tom. He always says things that make me feel like shit, like, ‘Wow, dude, aren’t you nervous? This is it, innocent or guilty!’ I always try to stop myself from justifying my case, but would end up saying something like, ‘I’ll prove my innocence, the evidence speaks for itself.’ Then he would say, ‘Yeh but … dude … come on!MoreLess
