Jayanti tells AG: Attack Scotland, not me
In a statement yesterday, Lutchmedial said, "Al-Rawi's claim there's a conflict of interest in my challenging the non-bailable nature of murder is ridiculous and amusing. It shows he has no appreciation of the complex legal issues involved in this matter .... the reckless assertion that I am trying to secure bail for murderers is not just untrue, it's an irresponsible and dangerous misrepresentation. The allegation of a conflict of interest is even more astonishing given that a Government MP recently argued that the denial of bail by Parliament was illegal and unconstitutional. I haven't heard the AG attack him, so why me?"
