I'm a coroner - get me out of here!

The decision by Lady Butler-Sloss to withdraw as coroner for the inquests into the deaths of Diana, Princess of Wales and Dodi Fayed will I fear do nothing for the reputation of the English Judiciary, and certainly do nothing except add fuel to the fire of the conspiracy theorists. Mind you, I can well understand her desire to get out from under. This job has become the poisoned chalice to end all poisoned chalices. You wonder who Lord Justice Scott Baker has offended to find himself lumbered with it.
