No comment could say more

No comment could say more than Elizabeth Lee's statement, “Surely, it cannot be good for the public, nor for pharmacy that pharmacists will work with the possibility of a criminal record in the event of a single human error being made.”

Progress has undoubtedly been made at the Court of Appeal in the overturning of Mrs Lee's custodial sentence; but in light of events there resulting in her still having a criminal record, the outcome cannot be considered just. The sooner that the promised Crown Prosecution Service dispensing errors guidance can be published and implemented at last, and that the Medicines Act can be overhauled, the better.

Misleading question

I think the question is ambiguous because is it asking us to consider it being justice with respect to Elizabeth Lee herself or for the profession?
