NST Leader: Unpleasant legal practice

Some lawyers are giving the profession a bad name. On Friday, a deputy public prosecutor in Sabah was sentenced to a year in prison and fined RM250,000 for soliciting bribes from two individuals as an inducement to withdraw a case that they were to be tried there. A stay of the execution of the sentence has been granted pending appeal. A fox in the henhouse? Or as Shakespeare would have put it, an ill-roasted egg, all on one side.
