A step into impartiality
Letter to the Editor
by Paula Weir, Christchurch

I was very interested in the article "When a court decision seems like madness" written by Derek Round (May 27).

Having experienced the judicial system recently as a support person for someone who eventually did not have to face trial, I was astounded by some of the behaviour of the Crown Prosecutor.

Our prosecutors - if they should desire at some stage to take the bench - should be placed under a great deal of scrutiny, as the ability to impartially judge a person is the cornerstone of our judicial system.
