Ex-Hammonds Suddards partner set to be referred to SRA over Hillsborough "cover-up"

Comment

To suggest a lawyer can ever justify tampering with evidence of this nature (if that is what happened here - and that needs to be considered carefully and unemotionally) is disgraceful. Too many in the public sector believe that the avoidance of embarassment for them, or for their masters, is a sacred goal that transcends all. We are supposed to be one of the few factors in this country to stand up against such things. If the legal "profession" is to be worthy of that label, and the privileges we enjoy that go with that, we have to have the guts to show our independence when it is tough to do so, and pressures are deployed against us to cover things up, and not just when it suits our own purposes.
