I know Julian Hall personally he is a great guy but he has been giving the rough end of the sick and i dont blame him for going on about his situation.

Julian needs to take responsibility for his own actions.  After graduating from Law School, he was showered with opportunities.  He was obviously too immature to deal with it and subsequently appears to have never recovered from his own sense of importance and entitlement.  There is no doubt that he is an extremely intelligent, eloquent and talented man, but this does not exonerate him from abiding by the same rules and regulations as the rest of us.

It is so unfortunate that Julian Hall has adopted the role of victim instead of accepting responsibility for his own actions and demonstrating he is able to rise above them.  These are the lessons that we should be sharing with our young men.   I am sad that his talents are being wasted by wallowing in self-pity and striking out at all and sundry  and that Julian Hall's sense of entitlement overrides basic common sense.

Agreed. My pops was good friends with Mr. Vaucrosson, and I've heard J. Hall brought up in conversation once or twice. From what I've heard from my pops, a past employer, and read online: he's a smart guy who had a lot of potential, but got involved with alot of things he shouldn't have to put it lightly.

From what I've seen of him on TV and in public, I'd say what I've heard about him is spot on...to each their own though.

Read for yourself: http://www.bermudapolicerecord.com  I tried to find the links to the articles relating specifically to him, but it's been a while and couldn't find it.

Chapa - Yea, that's basically word for word how my pops described it. Perhaps a little too soon after he returned from law school, but from the sounds of it people had high expectations of the guy.

Take responsibility for his own actions...bwwwhahahahaha...yeah right, not much chance of that is there?

I'm also sick and tired of hearing about what "brilliant mind he has" and "how tragic he is". Bollocks. A brilliant mind is utterly worthless if you misuse it and think the rules don't apply to you.

"vindictiveness" ? Has anyone been found guilty of this my dear ? Being found not guilty by a jury has nothing to do with the conduct of a Lawer/Barrister. They have rules that govern their behaviour just like you and I abide by the rules of humaity everyday.

But Piggy - JH's fundamental argument is how is he to make restitution when he is umemployable because of his bankruptcy ruling?

Not sure of the ins and outs either 'D'... could have something to do with having to declare salary or something along those lines. I just know that a bankrupt lawyer cannot practice and if his bankruptcy status isn't being lifted unjustifiably, then that's wrong.
