Boys, I really think it's time to zip 'em up and put this pi$$ing match to and end. Obviously the barrister isn't going to give up. That's what they're paid to do! That's why there are appeals courts. Prisons are just chock full of innocent people and every one of them has at least one attorney working for him or her.
I remember my grandfather, a lawyer, had an old dear friend, a judge. My grandparents would invite him and his wife for cocktails and dinner at their summer home since they both had a house on the same island. The afternoon/evening consisted of my grandmother, the judge's wife, and any other female guests sitting on the outdoor deck, grandchildren at play, while granddad and the judge would argue for hours on end about cases, politics and such. It would cycle from calm civil discourse to outright yelling at each other at the top of their lungs. Unfortunately the judge didn't carry his gavel!
I come from a family of attorneys. It's just how they are. No matter how wrong they my be!
