A MAN facing life imprisonment for arson walked free yesterday when his trial collapsed amid an increasingly angry dispute between barristers and the Government over legal aid fees.
In the first trial to be hit by the dispute, Alan Archer, from Worcester, was declared not guilty by the judge after the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) failed to find a barrister to prosecute the case.
Justice.
Milan.
