There is a certain sentiment in working class areas of Belfast that if paddy jackson and co. that the outcome may have been different. The upper class Protestant elite of Northern Irish society are allowed to act with brazen impunity on an institutional level and the trial case is a reflection of this on a personal level.
from the fact that the barrister is a member makes the whole thing reek of sectarianism and classism. i am 100% certain that the victim was a catholic.
