Quote:
A taxi driver, who refused to take a woman to her home late at night in the rain, has been slapped with fines and costs of more than £1,000.
Syed Shaheed, 48, of Newark Road, Luton, had, via an Urdu interpreter, denied snubbing Jacqueline Doney’s request to go from Howardsgate to Walden Road – a distance of around 0.7 miles.

The officer in this case was Mr Vaughan.
Has no one been informed that Syed Shaheed was acquitted on appeal to the Crown Court?
He was represented by Miss Ann Tayo who ensured My Shaheed's livelihood was restored and the fines slapped on him were returned to sender!
It took the Crown Court only a few minutes to return a not guilty verdict.

The report hasn't been in any press report, otherwise I think it would have appeared on here.

In response to the question concerning the basis upon which the appeal was successful, my submissions were that you cannot found a conviction in law on the basis of a mere impression.
The prosecution bring the case and the prosecution must prove the case to a high level of assuredness. It's called the burden and standard of proof. You must be satisfied so that you are sure before convicting any individual, it used to be referred to as 'beyond reasonable doubt'. A man is innocent till proven guilty and the aim of the standard of proof is a safeguard to protect and prevent any person from being wrongly convicted.
This was a Crown Court Appeal which is by way of a rehearing. The height, depth and extent of the prosecution case was that Mrs Doney wasn't categorically refused but gave evidence to the effect that she formed the impression she was being refused.
Justice was done at the end of the day but it was unfortunate that Mr Shaheed was put through so much to clear his name.
GULLIBLE Я US OR WHAT?• Syed Shaheed is convicted of cherry-picking at St Albans Magistrates Court in October 2011
• The report of the case from the Welwyn Hatfield Times appears on TDO a day later
• In February 2012 Ann Tayo posts a reply in the thread stating that Mr Shaheed’s conviction was quashed and he was acquitted on appeal to Crown Court
• Captain Cab replies,
‘The report hasn't been in any press report, otherwise I think it would have appeared on here.’• Everyone on TDO goes along with Ann Tayo’s posts without any proof of Mr Shaheed’s acquittal at Crown Court
Possible scenarios;
• Mr Shaheed was indeed acquitted at Crown Court
•
OR Mr Shaheed eventually came across the thread on TDO or it was pointed out to him
• Mr Shaheed was not happy that he had been shamed on the global TDO website
• Mr Shaheed hatched a plan and arranged for a post from one Ann Tayo to appear on TDO professing his acquittal and innocence thereby ostensibly removing the global shame brought by the newspaper report and TDO post.
• And the gullible on TDO believed every word that was written by one Ann Tayo on this subject
Until I see a newspaper report of this alluded to acquittal, or an internet link to such a report or some other solid proof of Mr Shaheed’s acquittal at Crown Court, I for one will continue to believe that Mr Shaheed’s conviction at Magistrates Court continues to stand!!
