“Facing the possibility of disbarment next month over his handling of the controversial Roger Levitt fraud case, David Cocks QC has more immediate worries…..
There was public outrage…when the Levitt prosecution led by David Cocks QC accepted a plea bargaining deal which meant that the disgraced investment adviser served a mere hundred and 80 hours community service instead of going to jail. cocks who earned £144,000from the bungled prosecution, later denied there had been prior negotiations with Levitt, and on May 15 he will come before the Bar Council accused of misleading the attorney general of the matter.

Scandal

The eyes are not here
ReplyDeleteThere are no eyes here
In this valley of dying stars
In this hollow valley
This broken jaw of our lost kingdoms
In this last of meeting places
We grope together
And avoid speech
Gathered on this beach of the tumid river
Sightless, unless
The eyes reappear
As the perpetual star
Multifoliate rose
Of death’s twilight kingdom
The hope only
Of empty men.
Sad for the poor father to have such low morality to his child since pre birth and through life and a callous nature,grim and callous reading indeed
ReplyDeleteDavid Cocks Q c is sensitive to his own delicate feelings as people callous to the feelings of others so often are but impervious to the felings and human rights of his son who he tried to have aborted for the sake of his powerful career prospects being untrammelled and his reputation unblemished as far as was visible to his elite professional friends.This may have remained but for the courage of Sir Derek Spencer Solicitor General his room mate and Sir Nicholas Wilson Q C now elected to The Suprem Court of England wh saw clearly the life and morality of an infant child to be above the power and wealthy of an ambitious and uncaring father as David Ccks Q C proved to the world to be
Evil to behave this way to a child
