Hilariously of course, Paddy Jacksons barrister is a commercial law barrister based in London. So even with you being pedantic about the law in general when I clearly meant the criminal law, your post is still self defeating. Blane's Barrister was the fourth highest earning Barrister in Northern Ireland last year. None of those who qualified for legal aid would have been granted it for those legal teams if the case didn't overrun.

Toby Hedworth wasn't in the top ten and I can't be arsed getting the full list.

I'm done. In summary. I beleive the girl. Playing for Ireland is a privilege not a right. The lads benefited from a system in their favour.

Sorry, but you are the one who made a lazy statement about the motives of lawyers. Toby Hedworth QC might be easy to overlook based on his earning power, but he is one of the highest profile prosecutors in the UK. He has tried terrorism cases, white collar crime and sex crime. He is massively experienced and highly accomplished. You are seeking a lack of fairness where there is none. Only one side ran out of money mid trial, not the public prosecution services.

I'm also done. I don't believe either side sufficiently to accuse either of them of anything, not rape nor dishonesty. Having an equal opportunity to be eligible to represent your country is in fact a right. The lads benefited from nothing, they were found not guilty unanimously by people who heard a lot more evidence than you, but are clearly still completely guilty in the eyes of many.
