Lawyers are “scared” of doing their jobs following contempt of court charges made against a top barrister who defended a Palestine Action activist, senior legal figures say.
I don’t disagree; I’m just pointing out that the judge was unlikely to be targeting the barrister for any political reason. Courts always discourage any overly obvious suggestion of jury nullification, regardless of the case being tried or whether it does or does not relate to Israel.

Fair.
