JK2006 I think that was a nice commercial angle; I suspect his worst convictions were for stealing monies from clients.
steveimp Just for clarification, but I thought *anyone* could be an Advocate in Law (Civil advocate, Mackenzie friend) and that you didn't necessarily need legal training for that? Was the problem that GDS said he was something he wasn't?
JK2006 Just been on the BBC talking about Giovanni: a friend suggests that the media have got it wrong and not the Judge; he's probably been given 7 or 8 sentences of a couple of years each, bound to be concurrent (as opposed to consecutive, which very few get, serving one after the other) and the media has interpreted them as 14 years.

But we all know the media is almost more useless than the judiciary so he'll probably do less than a couple of years inside.
JK2006 Reading the reports, I reckon he was sentenced to lots of little terms and the judge didn't make them concurrent; I reckon that will be changed on appeal and he'll serve a small fraction of the time.

Sugar.

My doctor, lawyer and accountant - are qualified, in three countries....

I hope yours didn't teach themselves.



Its Honey please, Ben.

I suspect my doctor might have just watched a couple of episodes of casualty actually.

I know a very dull lawyer. She is completely lacking in a sense of logic and doesn't seem very interested so it will probably be impossible for her to get work despite qualifications.
It is no guarantee of competence.

It must be easy to fake experience in teaching, law or nursing but what on earth do "surgeons" practice on?
