So, decisions have to be made as to who should be called as witnesses?

Best place to start is to look at the documentation supplied to support the prosecution officer, Kenneth Edward Seager’s case. i.e. all those interviewed and all those who have supplied statements or reports to help the prosecution.

After all its only reasonable that the accused should be allowed to cross-examine all those contributing evidence.

Note. It is in the best interests of Fire Service Command Power Practitioners, who may wish to undertake flimsy/dodgey or controversial prosecutions to keep their bundle of evidence as light as possible, and with the least possible witness contributions as possible. Only the really stupid, driven by a religious adherence to the doctrine “never mind the quality feel the width” pack their bundle of documentary evidence with material that is irrelevant.
