Carter has been questioned on a description of Valdo Calocane being polite and personable, which was repeated throughout his records.
“I would say
that when he is well, he is a very sociable, well-behaved, polite man,” he said.
Counsel to the inquiry Rachel Langdale KC asked: “Well you haven’t seen him that often have you?”
Carter replied: “No I haven’t.”
Langdale said: “So how would you know that?”
Carter: “No, I don’t know that for certain but I’m willing to give him the benefit of the doubt. I’m not going to be judgemental towards him.”
Carter added when Calocane was unwell, he was a “different person completely”, and knew what he was like when he was well from conversations with colleagues.
Langdale suggested the description of Calocane in the records “obscured” his risk for anyone else reading them.
Carter said: “Yes, I would probably agree with that, the wording there is not good.”
