This is BlueSky JP, not that other place. Please don’t resort to personal abuse in an attempt to further your argument.

Thing is, my comment doesn’t relate to the guilt or innocence of the defendant, but to the
conduct of the professionals, advancing their case in the wrong way.

I raise you Guildford 4 and Birmingham 6.
You clearly have myopic vision.

Somewhat saddened by the hysterical (self) publicising of some lawyers & medics in the #Letby case.

There is a responsible, professional and ethical way to ventilate genuine concerns without ranting and shrieking in the media.

Please think of the victims and their families.

Studied it perhaps Drew, but I confess to significant unease when lawyers or police officers in such cases get involved.

In my opinion professional proximity to such cases ought never to be exploited for (perceived) personal advantage/publicity. A victim/clients privacy ought to be sacrosanct

Drew Gray @drewdgray.bsky.social · Jan 3

Just a thought: if you are making a documentary about a famous crime story why not involve people who’ve studied the case in question?

Just a bit of advice for young lawyers:

Be cautious celebrating your victories.

If the credit for ‘winning’ a case is yours, then so must be the blame when you ‘lose’.

Today have a floating committal for sentence!

I didn’t know that a CSE could be a floater. My defendant has been on remand and served the sentence he can be given already. I’ve been informed that this matter is not a priority today.

A prison places frees up if I get called on.

A rare yellow version of the ‘Jigsaw Decisions’ artwork!

Ok so… there is an 8x8 piece jigsaw puzzle, it’s all yellow, and there’s some text written on it. There’s two pieces of the puzzle missing, so that whatever is written is missing two letters. Those missing letters will be a dash in the following transcription:

The jigsaw slogan reads:

I’m no_ gonna do that thing I’ve got to do _hen I can have fun.

Below this jigsaw are the two missing pieces, one a W and the other a T.

This means the slogan, depending on where you put the missing pieces can read one of two ways:

Either:

I’m now going to do that thing I’ve got to do then I can have fun.

Or…

I’m not going to do that thing I’ve got to do when I can have fun.
