This quote really says it all.
“It is starting to feel like it’s about the politics of the subject matter of the trial, rather than the core principles of how a barrister represents his client.”
As an aside, this is an amazing title.
Former shadow attorney general Baroness Shami Chakrabarti also expressed her concern about Menon’s prosecution…

“Shadow” means you had the role for the opposition.
So she was the Attorney General for the opposition party, rather than the incumbent.
Former means she is now no longer an attorney general of any sort.
Yes, it is a great title and apologies if explaining it lessens the magic.
