Despicable people taking advantage of an over-sensitive UK.

Telling that this pretty damning report is in The Guardian, I'm sure the Mail and Telegraph will be far more sympathetic!
|
Surely they have committed some form of criminal offence such as deception (the UK lawyers that is)?
Wonder if the yard will look in or will some form of political intervention make sure that isn't the case. |
The trial may break new legal ground, potentially setting limits on the extent to which solicitors need to prove allegations to their own satisfaction before they can bring them to court. What am I missing? |
I'm going to show my ignorance of the law here but I thought you already had to have an honest belief that your client was innocent to defend them. PS. I do hope Shyster, Weasel and Tw@tface all get their just deserts on this. |
Two's in, that may be true for Defence lawyers. These are not defending but effectively prosecution and their clients are not defendants.

At least if they are disbarred they will have a great future in politics.

A week with the lads from Herefordshire might do them some good...Or harm!
