Edward Vines wrote eight letters addressed to Ms Maitlis and her mother expressing his “unrequited” love for her, which he tried to send from HMP Nottingham between May 2020 and December 2021. A judge at Nottingham Crown Court told the 52-year-old he has shown “breathtaking persistence” in his efforts to contact his victim – saying it was clear he saw the restraining order as “meaningless”. Edward Vines had breached two separate restraining orders, from 2002 and 2009 Jurors were told that Vines had “systematically and with increasing frequency” breached two separate restraining orders imposed on him in 2002 and 2009 – with 12 breaches to his name and seven separate prosecutions. “It is indicative of how much they are affected by these proceedings that the defendant causes.” In the trial, Mr Way told jurors he demonstrated a “persistent and obsessive fixation” with Ms Maitlis.
