If we were a corrupt ex-cop we'd dig out an old case, probably settled out of court to save expenses, and tweet it (without dates or real explanation) in the hopes that it would fool observers into thinking anyone attacking a fine and honest ITV presenter would realise we were not guilty of any dodgy behaviour. Oh my, how Karma foolish some can be. |

"Entirely untrue" in the sense of "perfectly accurate?" |

And open the can of worms? I seriously doubt it. |

MWT has posted this on Twitter, which concerns a development from summer 2018. Sasha Wass QC was the prosecuting barrister in Rolf Harris's first trial, when he was found guilty of all 12 charges.
"Mail on Sunday and journalist David Rose issue an unreserved apology & pay substantial damages to Ms Wass QC following the publication of grotesque libels - in reporting very serious allegations which were in fact entirely untrue."

"On 9 October 2016 we published an article under the headline “Revealed: How top QC ‘buried’ evidence of Met bribes to put innocent man in jail”, which alleged that Sasha Wass QC faced professional ruin because, while acting as prosecution counsel, she had attempted to bury evidence of police corruption.
We also said that Ms Wass had backed baseless criminal charges against and prosecuted a man whom she knew to be an innocent whistle blower; that she was aware that tampered-with evidence had been placed by the prosecution before the Court and that she had deliberately lied to the Court.
We accept that these allegations were completely untrue and apologise unreservedly to Ms Wass for the distress and embarrassment caused by our article. We have agreed to pay her substantial libel damages as well as her legal costs. "
