Shameful injustice

WHEn Sven Badzak was killed in an unprovoked knife attack, his family hardly imagined their pain could get worse.

yet they’re now distraught after his alleged assailants’ trial was shelved for nearly a year because barristers are striking over pay.

Despite the bloated £1.5billion-a-year legal aid budget, the Criminal Bar Association says fee cuts mean some lawyers can’t afford to work.

But betraying the victims of killers by downing tools is shameful. Don’t they know that justice delayed is justice denied?
