Interesting twist on "Crooked lawyer gets murderer off"

How do you get off for murdering three generations of a family? Hire a crooked lawyer and then have your lawyer claim on appeal...that your first lawyer was crooked. A lawyer, crooked? That's news. If this appeal strategy catches on, is there really any chance that any murder conviction will ever stick?

A man serving life for the murders of three generations of a family had his convictions quashed yesterday after the appeal court ruled that he had not had a fair trial because of a conflict of interest involving his solicitor.
