I appeared with the fantastic @rosiewright99 on @TimesRadio this morning to discuss the sentences for rioters in the recent unrest. The clear message from @10DowningStreet to would-be rioters is to stay at home, or risk prison.
“If your behaviour encourages rioting, you might find yourself behind.” As sentencing begins for rioters, judges “will not hesitate to make very public examples,” says specialist in serious criminal offences @Kotrie 📻shorturl.at/8G9PC | @RosieWright99 | #TimesRadio

Nottingham attacks - I appeared on @GMB this morning on this important subject. A terrible tragedy, and it’s right that the CPS & Police conduct of the case was scrutinised for future learning.
The families of university students Grace O'Malley-Kumar and Barnaby Webber and school caretaker Ian Coates will find out today whether the Crown Prosecution Service was wrong to accept their killers plea of manslaughter instead of pressing on with murder charges.

Thank you to @NickFerrariLBC and @LBC for asking me to speak on the important topic of defendant anonymity in criminal trials.
'Justice should be done - it should also be seen to be done.' As the officer charged with the murder of Chris Kaba will be named, legal commentator @kotrie shares his thoughts with @NickFerrariLBC.

My short legal analysis for Times Radio on the Letby case proceedings. No sense triumph for officers in a case like this. Only resolution and the next stage of questions about how this spree continued for so long.
"It's unusual to hear officers speak in such bewildered terms...for such a horrific crime." @kotrie speaks to #TimesRadio about Lucy Letby's conviction and the court's handling of the case. @RuthDavidsonPC

Is it overly sensitive of me to resent the use of my late father’s image? I could change my profile picture of course. But… why should I?

We received the sad news that my granddaughters school was having to close. We really don't want Loreto to close! It's more than just a school, it's an extended family, we are fighting to keep it open #saveourschool #saveloreto #manchesternews #MEN #KEY103 #loreto #altrincham

Serious farce at the Serious Fraud Office. So says the @lawsocgazette about the Unaoil fiasco. AG’s review suggests improvements to SFO practices. No relief to my client who lost years to stress and prison because of a sham prosecution. #unaoil #fraud #law lawgazette.co.uk/news/seriou…

MI5 chief Ken McCallum wants the power to force social media firms to make secret messages available “in cases of exceptional threat”. Lawyer Joseph Kotrie-Monson says: “The Government does not have an automatic right to know what you’re up to.” @iancollinsuk | @kotrie

Vaccines for care home and NHS staff ethical issues. Lawcracker breaks it down. @LBC
A lot of talk about NHS and care home staff being required to have vaccines. It's an important conversation but it isn't completely straightforward & should start with gratitude. Here's a clip where I talk about it. #NHSCovidVaccine #nhspayrise #NHSheroes
