David Bain vs The Crown - game over

[Erelyes]

And still you haven't answered. I'm going to go with guilty by association as there's only one other KB member who's as much of a fuckwit as you & he's a Joho too.

Sorry, was I obliged to?

You have me bested, sir. I will tell my children of the day that I was defeated in an e-argument by such stunning critical thought.

And no, I don't want your book, thank you.

Come on, there's always a chance that you could come up with something at least half intelligent to say, even if by accident.

Really? A big fucking fail to assume
1) That 'ten minutes' actually means 'no less than....
Blah blah blah.....

You should join the police, you fit the bill. Stubborn and dumb as a post.

The police have rules that must be followed to protect the rights of Joe public and if it says he gets 10 minutes to decide it doesn't matter whether they give him 5 minutes or 9.59 if it's not ten minutes his rights have been violated.
I will guarantee the judge involved didn't want to let the guy off but he had a decent lawyer (obviously not a public defender) who did his job and the guy got of.
If he then went out and got drunk, crashed his car and hurt someone it would be as much the fault of the cop as the fault of the driver.

And let's not forget that 'technicalities' have nothing to do with the Bain case.

The police suppressed and withheld vital information that could have altered the opinion of the jury in first trial.

David deserves compensation for that fact alone.

You are a fuckwit.
You watch too much Judge Judy. And you're a fuckwit.
I've formed a few ideas about you. You're a fuckwit.
So your public service experience has as much relevance to this thread as the experience of say, a toilet cleaner. You're a fuckwit.

Oh and the irony of this post!!!!

Actually I thought Police are supposed to use their common sense and judgement? It's a pity that we want them to think like this, then come down on them like a ton of bricks when they make a minor error. I sure wouldn't want Police robots that follow every law to the very last letter, regardless of which was it swings.

It's also a pity that a minor, unintentional error like this, has such weight against the grevious, deliberate error to get behind the wheel of a car whilst intoxicated... And not only that but according to you, this minor error would then make the cop liable for all subsequent errors of judgement from the defendant!!!!

I'd be a shit cop. I'm a non-confrontational pussy. And typically too pedantic to think on my feet.

I will guarantee the judge involved didn't want to let the guy off but he had a decent lawyer (obviously not a public defender) who did his job and the guy got of.

Mmm, fair point. Something tells me that if this was a truly bad cop though, he'd have just said in court "nah exactly ten minutes, I'm sure" whether he felt that or not.

Have you ever had a police officer stand up in court and blatantly lie under oath in order to obtain a conviction against you?

I have.

I have.

So have I. Twice.

So what?

I certainly can't condone it, but I can understand the pressures the cops get from superiors.

I wonder if there is a proper journalist left in this country? Might open a few eyes
if the public got to see how much of a cunt the job is, at more levels than just traffic work.

Murray you come from Hamilton and your name is Murray. You're hardly qualified to comment on intelligence now, are you?

But its so easy when there are people like you around!!!!

[Katman]

So what?

For a minute there I mistakenly thought that post came from scumdog.

You should do better than "not condone it" Drew - you should vehemently denounce it.

I hope for your sake you don't find yourself in a similar position one day.

[Crasherfromwayback]

So what?

.

Even from you Drew....that is THE most retarded statement I've ever seen.

[Laava]

So, getting back to the thread title, it would seem that it is not "game over" in fact not even close. It was a big nothing. I have exactly the same marks in both my thumbs that Robin had and I know I didn't do it.
Time for PD.
