Geoffrey Lane, Baron Lane : ウィキペディア英語版 | Geoffrey Lane, Baron Lane
Geoffrey Dawson Lane, Baron Lane (17 July 1918 – 22 August 2005) was a British Judge who served as Lord Chief Justice of England from 1980 to 1992. The later part of his term was marred by a succession of disputed convictions. Lane's critics claimed that his refusal to believe that police evidence could be institutionally corrupt and his reluctance to overturn the verdict of a jury "represented a dangerous hindrance to justice".〔 His failure to allow the appeal of the Birmingham Six in 1988 led to calls for his resignation following their successful appeal in 1991, and an editorial in ''The Times'' "urged him to go," while 140 MPs signed a House of Commons motion to that effect. ==Early life== Lane was the son of a bank manager and was born in Derby. He attended Shrewsbury School and Trinity College, Cambridge where he graduated in the Classical and Law Triposes in 1939. He served as a pilot in the Royal Air Force during World War II, flying Wellington Bombers for 104 Squadron and later promoted to Squadron Leader to command 233 Squadron, which flew Dakota transport aircraft in D-Day and Operation Market Garden. He was awarded the Air Force Cross in 1943. He read for the bar when he was demobilised.
