As Attorney for an accused under the SOE, one is surprised that Senator Mr. Fitzgerald Hinds does not find himself in conflict with his role in the Parliament opposing law which he is sworn to respect and uphold.
What would be the views of the Law Association, the JLSC and indeed the Parliament and his own party on this dual role he has accepted?
One has no difficulty with a non-Parliamentarian representing an accused, but the difficulty arises for the Senator who has been vociferous in denouncing perceived conflicts of interest in others.
I make these observations urgently since the Parliament is due to convene momently to deliberate the SOE.
