Truth v Lies
This case as much as anything shows the stark contrast between the two professions.
Lawyers cover up lies for the clients despite not being allowed to.
Journalists strive to expose the Truth
When Judge Warren implied that Ian Sheppard’s account was inaccurate he knew that it wasn’t. A solicitor had conspired with his client to create a false narrative, backed with fabricated evidence. The Judge knew this.
Yet he was disparaging when Ian Sheppard said he was a professional journalist and applied his skills in reconstructing the Truth.
The ongoing fight for the truth to be admitted is as much to fight back against this attitude as anything else. Stop criminal lawyers!
