Royal Courts of Justice, The Strand, London, England.
Commentary.
Grandiose.
Elaborate.
1870’s Victorian Gothic architecture.
Intriguing.
A place to see in the famous Strand.
Perhaps, not a place to be seen in
and be cross-questioned by the Prosecution.
High Court Judges, wigs and robes.
Juries.
Lawyers.
Public.
News agencies.
What stories this place has heard!
What crimes?
What deaths?
What fraud?
What thefts?
Like the “Old Bailey,” nearby,
with its Lady Justice balancing justice with deeds,
a symbol of law and order …...
or of outrageous, continuous,
excessive and pervasive corruption?
Such a debate is sure to open
a can of worms!
