well said gadget -youve smacked the bloody nail right on the swede!my only other comment is the learned judges so called letter to the police commissioner ,in my reading contained some subtle but definite hints of consequences if the matter was not seen in a more favourable light for our little stars. why allude to events that occurred 20yrs ago ,events it appeaers that consisted of police carrying out their duties and encountering a cocksure lawyer who due to an apparent shortcoming was able to prevent a search etc etc.
i dont know how much regulation applies to these blokes once retired But if i was cheif justice Id be ringing and asking him to refrain from this type of tactic whilst an active police investigation is in progress,and as a retired judge he should stay retired and furthermore make his correspondence confidential!
the right to hold an opinion is not denied -the modus operandi of expressing said opinion is in this case bloody debatable!
