Judges and juries are generally biased towards the people standing in the dock whether it is positive or negative things. They pick up on class and circumstances and all the rest of it, but the lawyers themselves aren't going to be nice to us and do what is right if they're trying to get results!
I guess that is my acknowledgement of the legal profession being ruthless. It doesn't happen often.  |
Not often or if ever
and your right blazey the Law is a bit like football really, a results game, win at all cost and never let the truth get in the way of a good pay day in Chambers
