I always thought the law’s an ass but this is more than I ever imagined. It should be obvious even to a primary school child that when facing a judge, the accused, the defence or the prosecutor should be family.

In reply to Babel. Well now a Mifsud Bonnici is Minister for Justice so you can see why it's still ok.

Mucking about with our justice system.

This sort of thing used to happen with the Mifsud Bonnicis. But those were Nazzjonalisti, so it’s ok.

[Daphne – No, it wasn’t. It actually caused precisely the same sort of scandalised reaction.]

Here’s another case where the magistrate did not withdraw from the case notwithstanding her brother was the defence lawyer.

It is a mystery how the magistrate could expect to be 100 per cent impartial when the defence lawyer is her own brother? Even if she manages to stay impartial, which is very unlikely, the perception will always remain that the judgement is skewed.
