The article was so sure that a trial in each case was mere inconvenient formality the way it read. It would be interesting to know what they've printed in the pages of their edition today?

Blimey, The Indie makes Shiner sound like the next Pope designate. However, the reality as we know is very different and he clearly feels his self-righteous, holier than thou beliefs entitle him to subvert justice and the normal ethics of being a decent human being to achieve his aim. In fact, I'd go so far as to say his actions represent a good example of the the other side of the 'I was just following orders' coin.
