Mysterious Mike Lawlor

Well finally the Mike Lawlor case was heard and the verdict was guilty. You can read about it in the Echo here. It is still all a bit strange, all the charges were Data Protection Act 1 of attempted access and the others of actual access. So no prison sentence and no automatic loss of job. I can only assume there were other charges that were dropped.

Lawlor Lawless.

Echo article on DCI Mike Lawlor, still no mention of the other 6 charges? So I suspect there are other trials coming up of others involved. While this isn't giving a lot at the moment it does look like becoming quite juicy.

More Lawlor

According to Gary Stewart ‏@livechocourt he faces a total of 7 charges including the DPA charge more details later in the Echo hopefully. Though we still seem to be rather short on information about what is happening.

Mike Lawlor the show is on.

A quick check of Liverpool Crown court for Monday 2/9/2013 reveals Court 31 will play host to Mike Lawlor, first business will be to sort out some other matters then possibly first thing in the afternoon the mysterious case of Inspector Mark Lawlor. The only information currently available because of reporting restrictions is that Lawlor is charged with a breach of the Data Protection Act, which is a non arrestable offence that on its own can only be heard in a magistrates court, yet he was arrested and he is at the crown court. Hope fully more details will be released.

He was arrested along with several other people, one was released without charge, whilst two people in their 30s, one from St Helen's where bailed, but it appears he is in court on his own.
