God speed to Mr. Laidler. I was very sad to see this notification, but as has been stated, I remain neutral until the outcome. I have nothing but a positive impression of Peter. The sad part is the amount of time and expense it takes to defend oneself. I suspect if courts in the U.K. are similar to the US, it will drag out for some time and great expense to Mr. Laidler?
As some of you were aware, we had a huge entrapment case in the US during our previous president’s term, where a ffl dealer was allowed to sell and deliver weapons to what turned out to be a Mexican intermediary. The whole case stunk as it was politics inserted into the legal system. I naively believed our Constitution protected us from such malfeasance.
