"There's Something Rotten in the State of Denmark"
As so often, the Bard has a quote to match current circumstance.
Also as so often, the match isn't exact - but "it sufficeth".
For "Denmark" read "Cumbria", but if it can happen in "Cumbria" then we may surmise that it could happen elsewhere in England and Wales and maybe also in Scotland and various other external jurisdictions.
Martin Geddes, legal warrior, seeks a positive outcome to a case that may have broken every rule in the legal rule-book. How can he lose?
Seemingly he may only lose if the case never comes to trial!
How could that be a loss?
The mishandling of the prosecution will never be acknowledged, and justice will never be served. His loss would be his failure to achieve justice as he sees it, and the "system" will remain corrupted and negligent of "due process" for others less dogged than he to fall foul of.
He must have his day in Court.
