DescriptionRoy Stacey was from the late 1940s to the 1980s the capital lawyer to go to. He defended the downtrodden and the different: displaced immigrants at war's end, warweary sailors jumping ship, bookmakers, brothel keepers, those charged with murder when hanging was the ultimate penalty, and most famously, transsexual Carmen from the champing jaws of Robert Muldoon and the powerful Parliamtenary Privileges Commitee when she alleged one MP in four was homosexueal.
