Public safety must remain government priority

It was something of an irony. Fourty percent of my work, is criminal defence. My detractors would readily applaud the incident. I have received applause and criticism for my defence work, in equal measure. My detractors would be happy it happened. When I was doing some murder case, sometime ago, so pent up was public emotion that some wished my children dead just so I could learn not to defend murderers.

According to them, I was impervious to public sentiment and devoid of a soul. In time I came to appreciate the vast divide between public expectations, and my professional expectations.
