Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) BillContribution
Why did I include defendants on bail? The events leading to the tragic death of Caroline Flack have been in the news again this week because of the media pile-on she endured while awaiting trial for domestic abuse. She could see no good outcome and the coroner ruled that she died by suicide at the age of 40. Her boyfriend had not wanted to press charges, but another victim would have felt cheated of justice.
