To Klimt van Zieks: What made you first decide to become a prosecutor all those years ago?
- De
Dear De,
I decided to become a prosecutor mostly to spite my parents, if I am to be entirely honest. They did not get along with me, and they looked down on a man like me having an actual, proper job.
They approved of me getting an education, which allowed me to find a way out. I studied the law, in a desire to be able to help people who have been in situations such as mine. Some people deserve justice. Some people deserve punishment.
Essentially, I wanted to make a difference. And, as a non-member of the House of Lords at the time, that was the option I had.
Thank you for your question, Klimt van Zieks
