horrific

[Sirjohnalot]

I’ve been involved in some pretty horrific cases, which is why my running and weights are so important to me, they act as as release valve. Nothing involving the murder of a child though. The jury will have been given contacts re counselling etc. nothing worse than having to go through, countless times, when preparing a case, documents and images you never want to see,

May I ask Sirjohn , if you were ever asked to defend scum like that, at what point would professionalism overtake personal feelings and say....not for me ? Tho I understand you havnt done a case like this.

You can’t say ‘not for me’ you are professionally obliged to take a case as long as it’s within your competence, which has to be right as otherwise no one would defend these people.

I feel for you having to defend your profession when you shouldn’t have to. Barristers are the sort of people no one would miss until they aren’t there any more. Respect.

Not at all, people are genuinely interested and i perfectly understand why question was asked. Papers like the Daily Mail don’t help.

It’s always the first question I get asked ‘how can you defend someone you think is guilty?’ It’s much harder to defend someone you think is innocent. So much more pressure.

Funnily no one ever asks ‘how can you prosecute someone you think is is innocent?’

John, how can you prosecute someone you think is innocent?

Especially to a man who on more than one occasion has said he enjoyed beating people up for fun when he was a serving police officer.

Dreadful to think this happened all those years after Baby P. Society vowed to ensure it would never happen again yet here we are. Years of under resourcing of key organisations cannot be overlooked.

What's more, to a lesser extent, this sort of thing is happening everywhere in houses in your communities.
