More on Justice Hayden from an earlier hearing:
“But Mr Justice Hayden cut down Paul Diamond, representing the parents, as he began the family’s appeal hearing.
Mr Diamond said: “This really is an appeal, in our submission for common humanity and common sense…”
The judge interjected: “I don’t think it’s helpful to use emotive terms. As a barrister confine yourself to the law.”
Mr Diamond gave a witness statement from Mr Evans, taken on Tuesday, to the court suggesting his son’s condition is “significantly better” than had been previously believed.
Mr Diamond said the child had been breathing unaided for 19 hours.
He continued: “We do have a human being…”
Again the judge cut across him: “I don’t need to be reminded we have a human being. You do not have the moral high ground in this court. It is treacherous terrain.”
I wonder what they’d do for a Mohammedan in a similar plight.
