Try again..... it's not about lying - it's about securing a conviction - which is something that should never be pursued at any cost and with any rules made up as we go .......

Personally I think a book without a conviction is about as valid as a Faroffistani passport...

A far better Truthtelling story would be:-



Every time I consider this stuff - I think of the two older ladies in Kenya, who fought off a pack of Mau Maus armed with a pistol and the family dog..... the dog died defending them but they kicked arse on a few Mau Mau....

Maybe Outback teachers and nurses dedicated to elevating the Indigenous out of their mire need to be armed, trained, and licenced to carry...................

Stop being silly - you were better than that.  Now you just side with any ridiculous activist idea that comes along and hold it as gospel without a single thought of your own...

Are you losing your marbles?

If you have a reasoned argument, lay it out.... if not - stop the ad homs.

greg is lapsing into insanity along with one or two others here... you know who..... what started off as a joke playing the devil's advocate has turned more and more vicious and has become internalised into a perpetual state of sheer paranoia, self-delusion, and open hostility...

It's almost as if there is a single puppet master controlling them here..... I count four....

You?

People will buy and read Brittany's Book out of a lurid desire to get the low-down and a desire to 'do something' to protect and defend the innocent etc .... will be treated to a series of groundless assertions without solid proof to support them ... and will come away from that holding it high in the air as a new form of Bible for the Oppressed..... and eventually it will become the only truth about the whole thing regardless of the facts verified and the decision of courts..

Such is the nature of the madness of crowds with a half-education......

An advance of $325k?  They must be planning this to be a best seller..... soon to be on every library's shelf ... at $30 a pop, that's sales of around 11,000 just to repay the advance ..... so they're lookng at selling at least 100,000 and maybe a million copies ........seriously - how do you make a book out of this?  People will buy it and find it has nothing of value to add......

Think I have already said....that position has passed.  If there was no case to answer, the Judge would have taken it in her own hands and directed the Jury to bring in a verdict of not guilty.

Even before that happens, Defence makes a formal submission of no case to answer......if Judge agrees, first thing they do is make a very strong indication to the Prosecutor to enter a nolle prosequi.  If Prosecutor agrees, he asks for the "return of the Indictment, and personally writes on it, 'The Crown will proceed no further with this Indictment."  If Prosecutor declines to do that, and Judge is adamant, he then will direct the Jury to bring in a verdict of 'not guilty.'

None of that happens in this Higgins/Lehrmann matter.  There clearly is a 'case to answer' as that is defined technically.

You tell us..... why were her clothes off, mothra? Why was she there, naked and alone?

So when she comes out of the 'not guilty' thing and it is trumpeted all over the media as a miscarriage of justice etc - he cannot sue her or anyone else?

Pretty one way, don' cha think?  One rule for one, another for another.... so that's the way you prefer it....

Jesus - you could be a great advocate for the Jews in a court to see if they go to the gas chambers....
