Dear Derek
Re: AUTOMATIC LEGAL AID FOR STATE-BEREAVED FAMILIES
Is it fair that families of those killed by police have to go through an agonizing process of form-filling and means-tests to apply for legal-aid when in these circumstances a policeman or woman accused of killing a citizen automatically gets the best barristers to represent them at the cost of thousands of pounds of tax-payer-s money~
Surely not -
I wonder if you will support a move to bring equality - compassion and proper justice to this situation~
There is now an active campaign to grant the same automatic legal representation to State-bereaved families as is enjoyed by police who take lives - Surely it is a matter of basic justice that traumatized families should get the same degree and quality of assistance as police constables who take lives -
I ask you sincerely to lend your strongest support to this campaign and to show your support for justice in our land-
With best wishes -
Jeremy
