Call me cynical but !!

Now call me cynical but is it any wonder the solicitors came of their “strike” on taking on Legal Aid cases! And I have no doubt it will all be claimed on legal aid!!

The Supergrass Trial!!

Quote:
"It will be the biggest and most expensive criminal trial to be held in Northern Ireland for many years.
The 14 defendants will be represented by 24 barristers and eight firms of solicitors and the trial is expected to last for 11 weeks."

    All our solicitors and Barristers are the same they are out to line their own pockets. I’m obviously all for people’s right to a fair hearing but this £100 million system setup and scrutinised by legal professionals is not the way to do it. I think we need a cheaper public defender style system.

    And what does it say about any legal system that allows 2 brothers who admitted their part in murder getting off with a few years jail time in return for telling all on their former "comrades" The only ones to benefit are the grasping lawyers and shameless solicitors out to make some easy money.

    Part of the Furniture 1,000 Posts Name Dropper I've been Money Tipped!
    I thought the lawyers were using the old "L'Oreal Defense" as one commentator put it on TV when they went out on "strike".

    And what is the L'Oreal Defense? Well ask Chyrl Cole who appears in the L'Oreal hair shampoo adverts.

    As convincing as all soap adverts.
