SCOTLAND
The Scottish Sun
By SAM WALKER, DAVID WYNN and PAUL THORNTON
A CELEBRITY lawyer last night insisted “justice must be seen to be done” as he urged cops to probe shamed Cardinal Keith O’Brien.
Top brief Nick Freeman told how he made a complaint to Lothian and Borders Police after the axed Scots Catholic leader sensationally admitted sexual misconduct with priests.
Mr Freeman accused the Catholic Church of attempting a cover-up by insisting on an internal investigation.
And he said: “Justice needs to be seen to be done. The Church has a moral and legal obligation to co-operate with police.
“There should be a full criminal investigation. We don’t know who else was involved — or who decided to cover it up. They are just as culpable as the cardinal.”
