	Howard Hamilton: Defending Michael Manley and the call to be public defender - JAMAICAOBSERVER.COM
		Hamilton's next major case which drew world attention was the famous Grenada trial for the murder of Prime Minister Maurice Bishop, at the height of the October 1983 self-destruction of the Grenada revolution.
		Hamilton says that subsequent events proved the defendants right about the odds being against them, when even relatives of some who died and for whom justice was being sought, were included on the jury.
		Hamilton says that when the name was changed to public defender, the jurisdiction of the ombudsman was increased beyond maladministration and hardship to cover constitutional violations by the State.

	Guardian Unlimited \| Special reports \| Jury asked to decide who the liar is
		The jury in Neil Hamilton's libel battle with Mohamed Al Fayed was yesterday presented with a choice between an "Olympic gold medal-winning liar" and a man who had "sacrificed truth and honesty on the altar of self-preservation".
		The barristers were giving their closing speeches in Mr Hamilton's case against the Harrods owner over his "cash for questions" allegations in a Channel 4 documentary in 1997.
		Turning to Mr Hamilton's relationship with the Mobil oil company, Mr Carman suggested the £10,000 "consultancy payment" made by the firm to the former MP was evidence of corruption since Mr Hamilton had done little more than move an amendment to finance legislation and write a couple of letters before asking for payment.

	How The Guardian newspaper + Mohammed Al Fayed put Tony Blair in 10 Downing Street (#4)
		According to Ian Greer, Proudler's request perplexed both him and his solicitor, Andrew Stephenson, as to why The Guardian should be interested in his commission payments, when his and Hamilton's libel actions against The Guardian concerned the paper's cash for questions allegations.
		Hamiltons' antipathy towards Greer caused Stephenson to immediately advise him that there now existed a clear 'irreconcilable conflict of interest' between him and his co-plaintiff, and that under these circumstances the rules of professional conduct obliged Peter Carter-Ruck to discontinue acting for either of them.
		Iris Bond claimed that she had witnessed Fayed pack envelopes of cash for Ian Greer, which she had arranged to be sent to Greer's offices or left at the doorway of the office block; and that she remembered Fayed occasionally preparing bundles of cash for Neil Hamilton in her presence.

	Guardian Unlimited \| Special reports \| Libel action 'impertinent and misconceived', says Fayed QC
		Neil Hamilton's libel action against Mohamed Al Fayed was "totally worthless, impertinent and misconceived", according to the opening speech by George Carman QC, the counsel acting for Mr Fayed.
		In his speech to the jury, Desmond Brown QC said that behind Mr Fayed's "superficial joviality" one found "a deeply dishonest man with an evil penchant for the vindictive pursuit of those who have fallen foul of him".
		Desmond Browne QC, counsel for Mr Hamilton, said the jury would discover that the "Fabulous Pharaoh" of who bought Harrods in 1985 was really a "Phoney Pharaoh" of 1999 who would be buried by the sheer bulk of his lies.
