[edit] James Hanratty?

The article mentions that he represented James Hanratty. Presuming the article refers to the last man hanged in Britian (no-one else with that name is notable as far as i am aware) i cant help thinking that he may of been a bit young at 21. Firstly, he couldn't possibly be a barrister at that age and even if he was, a capital murder case would of seen a senior barrister appointed. Is this a mistake or am i reading it wrong? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Evomutant (talk • contribs) 23:34, 6 May 2007 (UTC).

He acted for Hanratty's family. See James Hanratty#DNA evidence and appeal in 2002. Thincat 14:44, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
