Lawyers mourn barrister shot by police

Let's understand before we judge This is something which can't be ignored, or swept under the carpet, or (as per Anonymous) not spoken about. Until we understand what had happened to Mark Saunders and why he reacted as he did, then it is difficult to make any meaningful comment - except to say that the loss of yet another bright, young, personable and likeable barrister is a tragedy. Many of us working with those who are pushed to the end of their mental tether will be wondering whether stress and the pressures he was under played a part in what happened. If so, we all need to acknowledge it and learn lessons from it.
