    Sorry, what?! @BBCNews now have Alan Dershowitz on to analyse #GhislaineMaxwell’s conviction, without any reference to his background;he’s simply introduced as “constitutional lawyer” as if he’s a neutral expert. Shocked. Utterly bizarre decision & does the audience a disservice.pic.twitter.com/l7qOqVsTTW

        It’s the choice to interview him,but more importantly 1)not contextualising in any way: no mention of Dershowitz having acted for Epstein,or that Virginia Giuffre accused him of abuse,or the defamation suits,& 2)giving him a platform to undermine Giuffre, unchallenged. Appalling.

        I’m adding to this 🧵 given some replies simply to say that I’m generally an admirer of BBC editorial standards, & as a media lawyer I understand pressures with breaking news stories. But in my view there were many mistakes here. I hope @BBCNews will acknowledge this & apologise.

        Caoilfhionn Gallagher QC Retweeted Sarah Churchwell

        I see some others have pulled @BBCNews up on this terrible decision-making tonight, too. See these other threads on Dershowitz being interviewed as a “legal expert” on the #GhislaineMaxwellTrial #GhislaineMaxwell, by @sarahchurchwell & @NadiaWhittomeMP ⬇️ https://twitter.com/nadiawhittomemp/status/1476330469847412738?s=21 …https://twitter.com/sarahchurchwell/status/1476319449447907344 …

        Caoilfhionn Gallagher QC added,

        Sarah ChurchwellVerified account @sarahchurchwell
        So @BBCNews has decided that the expert witness they need on the Maxwell trial is Alan Dershowitz. Who has taken the opportunity to say that it shows how accusations against him and Prince Andrew are wrong.

        Caoilfhionn Gallagher QC Retweeted BBC News Press Team

        Pleased to see this swift statement from @BBCNewsPR today. These are the points I made in my complaint last night (& I assume many others did too). Thank you. (Posting here as well as a new tweet so it can be seen easily by anyone catching up on the 🧵) #GhislaineMaxwell @BBCNewshttps://twitter.com/BBCNewsPR/status/1476506386964131840 …

        Caoilfhionn Gallagher QC added,

        Statement reads: Last night’s interview with Alan Dershowitz after the Ghislaine Maxwell verdict did not meet the BBC’s editorial standards, as Mr Dershowitz was not a suitable person to interview as an impartial analyst, and we did not make the relevant background clear to our audience. We will look into how this happened.

        “Constitutional lawyer”/“potential defendant.” Potato, potatoe.

        A truly astonishing decision. In what possible way is this a good idea?

        just a thought here, from 2000 miles away, that the Royal Family has a huge interest in this case, an interest which is completely aligned with Dershowitz.

        All the worse, he repeatedly used the interview to undercut & defame Virginia Guiffre, who accused him (and Prince Andrew) of taking part, and suggested she should be charged, and wasn't challenged on it. That's really, disgracefully poor.

        I saw that too and was gobsmacked. The interviewer should have cut it immediately

        Allowing him to get straight on to do some damage limitation for himself is utterly wrong. BBC, you really have sullied your organisation here... unbelievable!
