If the government read what you have written here you will be removed from the bench in moments!!<br /><br />If the government wanted people going around getting lawyers then they wouldn't keep trying to bankrupt all of the defence lawyers in the land.<br /><br />Nor would they insist that all suspects in police custody speak to a government employed (but unqualified) "lawyer" in call centre before they are allowed to speak to the actual solicitor they requested.<br /><br />If the government wanted people to be professionally represented then they certainly would not go around introducing means testing for legal aid in murder trials.<br /><br />If people were supposed to get a proper defence then the government would definately not allow the CPS to run the CJSSS schemem in which the defendant is given the merest hint of the case against them in the form of a completely inadmissible "summary" of the evidence and bugger all else!<br /><br />Honestly, Stan if you want to stay on the bench then you better buck up your ideas and stop advising they guilty... sorry I mean defendants... to find legal representation!!phatboyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09945060500895486153noreply@blogger.com
