Criminal advocates discuss PF v Christopher Daniel
Two advocates appeared on television this week to discuss a recent high profile criminal case.
Benchmark Advocates’ Edith Forrest and Thomas Ross QC commented on PF v Christopher Daniel on STV’s Scotland Tonight.
Ms Forrest discussed the details of an absolute discharge and drew parallels with a case last year involving a rape accused in the High Court in which an absolute discharge was also given.
Mr Ross looked at the sheriff’s reasoning, published on Wednesday, in granting an absolute discharge.
