Bruce Hyman

Bruce Anthony Hyman is a radio and TV producer and the only barrister in 800 years to be sent to prison for attempting to pervert the course of justice.

Crime

On Monday 6 August 2007 Hyman was convicted of attempting to pervert the course of justice by faking a Court of Appeal judgment used in a family court hearing. Hyman sent the fake legal document to a father, Simon Eades, who was applying for increased access to his child, pretending it was from the charity "Families Need Fathers". The document supported Mr Eades's case but when he presented it in court Hyman accused him of forgery. CCTV footage from a computer shop later proved Hyman sent the email and thus had attempted to falsely incriminate Eades.Wikinews coverage at UK PM's speechwriter awaits sentence 26-Aug-2007 In November 2008 Hyman was permanently disbarred by the Bar Standards Board....
