Nice work for the Law Commissioner, defending robbers and other petty criminals

The Law Commissioner, currently defending a petty housebreaker.
The Sunday Times reports:
A 33-year-old man from Mgarr this afternoon pleaded not guilty to stealing €9,000 worth of goods from a villa in St Paul’s Bay in January.
Josef Buttigieg, who was represented by lawyer Franco Debono, was also charged with relapsing and breaching the conditions of a previous release.
Really classy, isn’t it. The Law Commissioner, defending house-breakers. True, house-breakers have the right to a lawyer and lawyers are there to defend them. But not when they’re the Law Commissioner.
It’s just so….tacky. And there are so many conflicts involved.

It’s like reading a cartoon or an extract from a novel.
Interestingly when Frankie wins a case we hear about him being the lawyer , while when it’s not good publicity , Frankie is nowhere to be seen.
Now The Times is becoming nasty, for Frankie, that is..
I smell something cocky here
Just been told that even his cock won’t sleep with him.
I shouldn’t wonder. His cocks probably keeps him up at night.
God it feels good to rehash old jokes. They take on a quality all of their own.
And the Law Commissioner also happens to be the Coordinator of the Convention for the Reform of the Constitution, that very law which is supposed to protect us from such conflicts.
If ever there ever was a clear cut case of conflict of interest it is that of lawyers passing laws in the evening as members of parliament and the morning after actively defending guilty criminals and letting them off the hook by exploiting loopholes in the law.
