Grimly cynical.
The Attorney General - who has absolutely no experience of criminal law - is so desperate to exploit this tragic case that she is inserting herself into proceedings that she is not competent to conduct. https://www.express.co.uk/news/uk/1357355/PC-Andrew-Harper-appeal-hearing-suella-braverman

Treasury Counsel who usually represent the Attorney General at the Court of Appeal for appeals against “unduly lenient” sentences are appointed from the best and most experienced criminal barristers.

This sort of threat is beneath the dignity of the @attorneygeneral.

Most criminal barristers cut their teeth doing magistrates’ trials.
Ms Braverman’ debut in the criminal courts will be leading a QC in the Court of Appeal in a sentence reference following a high-profile murder trial.
