Merry Christmas!
down to business.
a burglar was caught in ONIRU, Lagos this week and taken to the police station.
it occurred to me that- guilty or innocent, he needs representation.
how will his rights be protected?
wot's d chain of evidence in his case?
will a judge take the victim's statement and police report as proof of guilt?
was his confession coerced?

I then realized that most of us don't even know how the legal system works!

so, will he get a public defender?
will a judge assign any lawyer at random?
do lawyers engage in pro bono works?

I think we need a legal section, separate from crime.
corporate law, Constitutional/civic, criminal, etc affect all aspects of our lives.
maybe changing d crime section to be a subset of "law".

happy holidays.

lawyers, wot's d story?
happy new year
