Misconduct in public office is the subject of NLJ’s latest Crime Brief with David Walbank KC.

Several terrifying scandals involving London’s police force have been uncovered recently, the latest being former Met police officer David Carrick, who was convicted of multiple rapes and sentenced this week to life in prison with a minimum of 30 years.

In this week’s NLJ, Walbank looks back to June 2020 and the shocking behaviour of officers guarding the crime scene following the murder of sisters Nicole Smallman and Bibaa Henry. Both officers were convicted of misconduct in public office, the judge hearing the case, Dame Victoria Sharp P, holding the gravity of the offence means it must attract a sentence of immediate custody, save in exceptional circumstances.
