In reply to Mark Vassallo. Well, it won't pass in parliament will it? Back to the drawing board.

In reply to Andreas Moser. I was going to write something similar myself. Guido de Marco used to teach that it is the Court which determines the guilt or otherwise of somebody. Anything short of that is tantamount to lynching. So let's us not break the golden thread.

What is the statute of limitations for animal cruelty?

If it doesn’t extend back to the time when Franco Debono was a cock-fighter, can we change the law now . . . retrospectively?

If it can be done, then can he be prosecuted – and with enough witnesses to come forward – found guilty and removed from parliament?

Problem solved?

Just asking.

Lawyers don’t release “criminals”, courts do.
And when courts do it is usually because they are not criminals, but because they are innocent.

You, other bloggers, The Times or anyone else calling someone a criminal does not make that person a criminal. Only a court can make this determination.

Says a lawyer.

Debono’s reply to me?

“Kullhadd irid jiekol.”

The sort of reply expected from a Corleone hood as an excuse for doing what he does.

Pftttt

In reply to George Cutajar.

“A kollega is not one who approaches other lawyers’ clients asking them to transfer their brief to him”

I came to know about that, and people told me he offered to charge less than his colleagues.

Pretty much like those architects who won’t stop at nothing to satisfy their clients’ brief (make that their own), nitpicking loopholes in regulations to break their spirit.

Or political leaders whose unquestionable trust is theirs by default.

Whizz kids on the rampage, sharing one ambition; be on TV. Either by having an own talkshow, a whole station or being one of the actors in a televised parliament.

Who gives a toss how social the contract, refined the architecture or just the laws are?
