I’m a husband, father, and former Chief Prosecutor. My entire career has been about securing justice and change for those that need it. From representing people on death row as a human rights lawyer, to working on setting up the Northern Ireland Police Board in the wake of the Good Friday agreement, to making the law work for victims as Chief Prosecutor.
