They deal with property matters Dotta so acquisitions - houses/land that sort of thing and they will draw up the documents and do the searches etc.
With the multi-disciplined solicitors firms like Russell and Russell they will be ( if the firm is big enough ) solicitors there to deal with all manners of issues so a team for crime/ family matters / civil / PI
R & R have been going a very long time.

I think Rose West is also under a whole life order. It's on her Wikipedia, anyway. So, there are four. Hindley(dec), West, Dennehy, and now Letby.

MOO

I was under the impression that Hindley was eligible for parole, hence she frequently applied for it and also some people believe she was covertly released and didn't die in prison.

Yes, but only two had their sentences handed down by the convicting court under the current sentencing system, Dennehy and Letby.

Hmmm
She didn't seem to enjoy the trial IMO.
Judging by Court sketches.

She, as others, enjoys positive attention.

I guess Mr NJ KC referred to her enjoying "lying games".

JMO

Depends whether she enjoys the thrill of deception or whether it was a means to an end.
A true psychopath can often see scope where there is truly no mileage what so ever!

Hindley kept fighting for the right to go before the parole board but never got the opportunity.

She was never released and definitely died in custody.

Not quite right, Grandpa was a serial burglar:

Quoting myself as I just double checked - apologies Myra Hindley was in fact the first UK female to be ordered a life sentence with no possibility of parole.

Anyway, for some reason there's a whole lot of people who think she was snuck out of prison and never died in there.

To prevent distractions in court, presumably.

Mine said we had a relative with the surname Wallace so we’re related to William Wallace, heathen of old.

How does it distract?

I guess they don't want artists flouncing about dramatically with their paint brushes in court. Who knows?

LOL indeed! Maybe it's to prevent distraction. I just tried to do some research and drew blanks. Allegedly there's only four court artists in London.

Yikes @Marantz4250b … she could turn her hand to quite a few things by the sound of her !
How interesting.

The article doesn't say that.

It says
"Justine Jones, a clinical negligence lawyer for Slater and Gordon in Chester, who is representing the parents of several babies who died, said: ‘The hospital has taken the highly unusual step of calling in the police to investigate these deaths, which will come as a shock to the families."

We have no idea from this article when the solicitor started representing any of the families. Did the hospital notify the families of its own investigations prior to calling in police?

Another article of the same date says parents were informed prior to the announcement in the press -

DCS Nigel Wenham said that the investigation was in its very early stages, so police would not be able to provide any further details. “We recognise that this investigation will have a significant impact on all of the families involved, staff and patients at the hospital and the public,” he said.

“Parents of the babies are being updated on the investigation and will be supported throughout the process by specially trained officers. We are committed to carrying out the investigation as quickly as possible.”
