@Gerry171561 @MintSauceSarnie Not Legal Aid as such, but, yes paid by the tax-payer all the same. A disgrace.

@MothinAli 🤣

@KeithGr54210590 @No_Bikers 🤣 Have you seen legal aid rates? Trust me, his solicitors will have been begging the Crown to release the funds they've seized so they can charge him a private fee.

@shaggy1712 @WingsScotland I hear what you say, but under normal circs £400k is Sheriff Court.

[William McIntyre @Best_Defence]

@shaggy1712 @WingsScotland Do the maths. 5 years 25% discount for early plea. Out on home curfew detention after 15% of that.

@shaggy1712 @WingsScotland Out on a tag for Crimbo

@celticgurrl @gracebrod1e @GraemeHampton @WingsScotland Don't think so. No mechanism for that so far as I know. Has happened to a few of my part clients. Then again mine were acquitted 😁

[William McIntyre @Best_Defence]

@calum_nicolson @gracebrod1e @WingsScotland @GlasgowAdvocate Common dodge, in the Sheriff Court at least, in alleged domestic violence/ sex offences. Refuse to instruct a solicitor, court has to appoint one on legal aid. Lawyers try to avoid them and they end up with the PDSO. But can't pay privately if funds frozen by the Crown.

@RaheemKassam She’s certainly in the top 1.

[William McIntyre @Best_Defence]

@sisterousier @kacnutt @heraldscotland It’s not uncommon, unfortunately. Trust me, lawyers would prefer the money to be available to pay them, rather than rely on the derisory Legal Aid rates. There’s no one so relieved as his solicitors, who won’t have to sit in the High Court for six weeks being paid peanuts

Very pleased to see a write up of Relatively Guilty prior to its first paperback release on 18 June. It's where it all starts for Robbie Munro. https://t.co/wmVhqS1iYf

@RepWPH I wonder what the Founding non-gestating parents would make of this.

[William McIntyre @Best_Defence]

@ThePosieParker All the same, credit where credit is due, for her to win the awards for most empty-headed and obnoxious guest ever on Question Time is something of an achievement.

@LidlGB Lidl 'ready to eat' large avocados. Unfortunately, I wasn't ready to eat them. Don't know why I risked shopping there, their fruit and veg is consistently crap.

[William McIntyre @Best_Defence]

@MasonCrossBooks @alexmassie That would be to assume they’ve thought this through.

[William McIntyre @Best_Defence]

@Daily_Record James McIntyre's 30-year career as a lawyer? 😂 I know my brother's smart, but he got the jail in 1997, I didn't realise he started work when he was 10! Murrell will be sent to Dumfries on protection, where he will be fine.

@ginadavidsonlbc To summarise: “Wibble.”

[William McIntyre @Best_Defence]

@ChrisMusson @Scott_Wortley Don't put my own words in my mouth.
