FERDINAND BARNARD
Yes, I was in custody and I did not apply for bail for various reasons, the primary consideration was that every witness who made a statement was asked whether or not they feared for their lives, whether they were afraid of me, whether I made any remarks about violence and there was no real prospect of my release on bail.
	I didn't wish to waste any money, I didn't want to waste any time and that was also the advice that I received from my legal team, I decided to remain on the inside and to wait for the trial to get under way.
