I'd heard about this, and wondered if it affected you. I'm sorry you're caught in the middle of it, both for your personal reasons and for what you say, that lawyers such as yourself "are the last bastions of freedom, the last line of defence."
Aw, thanks JB. (Only just received some LJ comments for some reason, including yours, BTW).
Today one of England's most senior judges was acquitted, following a full trial, of flashing a young woman on the tube. For anyone who thinks it couldn't happen to them - that there's no way they could end up facing criminal charges - if it can happen to a Lord Justice of Appeal, it really can happen to anyone. Sigh.
