Jailhouselawyer's Blog

A mixture of law, politics, autobiography and humour. Once described as "The Devilish Advocate" (Guardian), I do have the ability to provoke a response. Sometimes it comes from someone who uses a thought process, and sometimes from jerks usually associated with the knee.

Drug dealer shot dead in Hull

Drug dealer shot dead in Hull

A CONVICTED drug dealer has been found killed in his east Hull flat.

Neighbours, who did not want to be named, told the Mail John Rouse had been shot.

Yorkshire Ambulance Service, which attended Mr Rouse's flat in Westerdale Grove, east Hull, at 5.16pm yesterday, logged the call in the “stab/gunshot” category.

Police said they were treating the death as suspicious. A scientific examination was today continuing and a post mortem was due to take place today.

Mr Rouse, in his 40s, was jailed for five-and-a-half years in March 2002 for supplying drugs worth £162,000, including cocaine and ecstasy

John Hirst Hull, East Yorkshire, GB "Who is John Hirst?" the Sun online questioned the day after the UK lost its appeal to the Grand Chamber of the ECtHR in the prisoners votes case. The profile was not very informative nor flattering. But, I don't like the Sun either so we are quits. I was born, at 2 I was put into Dr Barnardo's Homes. What they called care, we refer to it as physical and sexual abuse. I drifted into crime, and spent 35 years in prison. In spite of the system, I reformed and rehabilitated myself with the support of some within and outside of the system. I was transformed from a law breaker into a law-maker. I am firmly committed to prisoners rights, and am a campaigner for penal reform. I live in a 3 bedroom terrace house within a cul-de-sac, and have a dog as a companion. My Latvian friend keeps invading my space and telling me I need a wife. She does keep the house clean and tidy, but loves my dog and calls him her boyfriend... Recently, Viking FM have asked for advice and reports for the news on radio on Criminal Justice issues. In addition, I used to write regularly for Inside Time the National newspaper for prisoners.
