| 794000 | 2009-07-26 10:13:00 | I don't think this is the first time she's defended a controversial case - I recall seeing her on TV in the late 90s defending other despicable criminals. Strange coincidence that: barristers defending criminals (or to be politically correct, defendants). And I thought that was their job description... |

| 794001 | 2009-07-26 11:55:00 | I hope that obese lawyer who defended this murdering bugger has sleepless nights for ever, for even contemplating let alone trying a defence of provocation. Is it possible to get her struck off the bar and deported back to England? What don't you understand about innocent until proven guilty? For your information, any defendant that wants to bring a (partial) defense of provocation to a murder trial has to apply to a judge and get permission from that judge to do so. In some cases that permission is not given. In Weatherston's case a judge decided that there was sufficient cause to allow the defence of provocation. |
