The Secret Barrister 🦋

🎉IT’S PAPERBACK PUBLICATION DAY!🎉 My first legal thriller, #TheCutThroatTrial! The mutilated body of an old man is found in the street. Three teenagers nearby, caked in his blood. Each points the finger at the others. Each has his own story. Available NOW in links below 👇

I see we have reached the “Broadmoor is a holiday camp” stage of right-wing discourse.

Very impressed though with all those psychiatric qualifications that have been amassed among the grifters. Incredible skills to be able to make conclusive Mental Health Act assessments from something you’ve read on Facebook. Solid work lads.

RT @MaxJLHardy: Releasing criminals early is politically unacceptable because it’s politically visible. Taking half a decade to charge, prosecute, try and imprison criminals is politically acceptable because it’s politically invisible.

RT @Joanna__Hardy: Precisely. The Sentencing ‘Code’ (remember that) was supposed to streamline and simplify. Instead, it’s now an absolute goat rodeo again. The Judge should simply be able to specify: The time that is to be spent in a cell (incl. dangerousness). The deduction for pre-trial remand. The time of supervision on release (incl. enhanced dangerousness and ability to recall). Then everyone knows. You’re in prison for X, you’re supervised for Y. None of this expressing the whole sentence as including half (or now two thirds?) supervision. No wonder the public are angry.

RT @DBanksy: It is becoming abundantly clear that a large number of journalists working for national newspapers and broadcasters have not spent any time as court of crime reporters and their ignorance of the basics of fuelling their pandering to ridiculous conspiracy theories.

Financial impropriety is all over the news. But you don’t have to call a snap by-election to distract yourself (and the public). Instead, enjoy the even wilder financial impropriety of this 99p offer for the ebook of #TheCutThroatTrial!

RT @BarristerSecret: Drinking the tears of football cheats and their graceless fans: PRICELESS Taking advantage of a stonking special offer for the ebook of the gritty legal thriller #TheCutThroatTrial: NINETY NINE PENCE.

(Thank you to our hosts for the bonus marketing opportunities.)

A lesson for the day: Cheats never prosper. But you know who *does* prosper? Why, YOU, if you take advantage of the gritty legal thriller #TheCutThroatTrial being on offer on ebook for a limited time for NINETY NINE PENCE!

The only effective response to the USA’s breathtaking corruption is for the remaining countries to walk away. Let them have their own football “World Series” where the only entrants are from the US, and the only international spectator is Infantino.

Prepared to wager hard cash money that after the USA are deservedly eliminated, Infantino announces a new FIFA World Winners Prize and awards it to them.

FIFA corruption - reversing red cards for players from favoured countries - is sure frustrating. And you know what else is frustrating? The fact that this incredible 99p offer for the ebook of #TheCutThroatTrial won’t last forever.

If you think I have shame, or limits - my friend you are going to be disappointed. Consider me the Infantino of crime thriller marketing.

RT @BarristerSecret: What’s that, you say? You enjoy critically acclaimed, gritty, authentic crime thrillers? You enjoy reading such thrillers on an electronic medium, such as e-book? You enjoy ridonculous bargains? #TheCutThroatTrial is a crazy 99 PENCE today. Go nuts. Link in post below 👇

RT @JudiciaryUK: The full judgment in X, Y and Z can now be read on the judicial website:

RT @TheCriminalBar: Lady chief justice warns politicians over criticising sentencing “Politicians immediately weighed in. The prime minister Sir Keir Starmer, a KC and former director of public prosecutions, described the case as “distressing” and “appalling”, praising the victims’ courage.” The sentences were also condemned by the opposition leader Kemi Badenoch and Robert Jenrick of Reform UK. Lord Hermer KC, the attorney-general, said he would be referring the sentences as “unduly lenient” to the Court of Appealas he commended the victims’ “immense bravery”. The government, he said, must take action to restore public confidence.

The absurd 99p - NINETY-NINE PENCE FOR A WHOLE BOOK - special offer for the ebook of #TheCutThroatTrial is on Kindle here: Or if you prefer an alternative, the same deal is on Kobo: Go on. Bleed me dry.

This is really very excellent indeed.

I have put my views on the over reliance of Bushell’s Case into a short blog.
