He works alongside Hartley Shawcross.

Worse, future social and criminal patterns were already being established.

In 1954, Home Secretary David Maxwell, David Maxwell Fife, issued a secret memorandum to the cabinet on blacks pimping white women, stating that, quote, figures I have obtained from the Metropolitan Police do show that the number of colored men convicted for this offense is out of all proportion to the number of colored men in London.

In other words, per capita.

Three months later, he again wrote to the cabinet stressing that, quote, large numbers of colored men are living on national assistance or the immoral earnings of white women, end quote.

Olivia Duran Deacon's friend Constance Lane took the stand describing Haig's suspicious conduct.

The defence, led by Sir David Maxwell Fife, had only one card to play, and it was the insanity plea.

But the plea could not overcome the central fact that Haig had known exactly what he was doing and had known it was wrong.

The defence's own psychiatric evidence could not establish that his judgement had been genuinely impaired in the way the law required.

The Americans got one, the British got one.

This guy's name was Sir David Maxwell Fife.

He gets a go.

And Fife takes a different approach entirely.
