Sir Richard Henriques was a highly regarded advocate and judge involved in many leading cases. We all remember, among others, Derek Hatton, James Bulger, Harold Shipman, Jill Dando, Jeremy Bamber, the Morecambe Bay Cockle Pickers and Kenneth Noye. For insight, the inside story from the participating QC or judge represents the most vivid and compelling account of what really happened, in 17 selected cases.
Case studies
In the Bulger case, Sir Robert suggests that the public should be present at such a trial only through video, that the boy defendants appeared to be re-enacting a violent video they had watched, and that a defence should never be inconsistent, eg I was not present, if I was I didn’t do it, and if I was present and did do it I had a lawful justification.
