Lawyer X - Police

[Thryleon]

No doubt, but in those cases I wonder how many "good lawyers" knew about the real culprit and stayed mum while some innocent went to jail, if it happens just once it is once too many, and the penalty should be the heaviest available to the law. But would they prosecute their own?

In that case, if the police step over the line to find the dodgy lawyer, why penalise the police. It's the lawyer who has done the dodgy isn't it, how do police obtain justice for a victim in this instance?

The problem is the lawyer is too skilled at hiding the evidence in structures that can only be open illegally, something that in itself should be made illegal.

Should Gobbo be lauded for exposing the legal filth that protects hardened criminals?

I can't help but feel this is somewhat like the Trump prosecution debate, politicians in the US won't pursue Trump because they know in the future they could be exposed to the same prosecution risk, they want to reserve that escape route for their own future use!

Whats really going to make your head spin is whether or not Gobbo acted knowing that she was perverting the course of justice.

Was her testimony that crucial to putting lots of these guys away?

They might have been able to lock them up anyway and all she has done is provide the key to get them out sooner.  After all she did voluntarily pervert the course of justice sighting stress as the reason.
