Guilty conscience clearly at work - having a conscience at least shows David is not a psychopath !!!

Not being a psychopath ruled him out of the murders in my opinion ...

Whether you believe Jeremy innocent or guilty you surely have to wonder what David's blatant slip of the tongue is about in that video clip ...

"we think he's guilty" ? 

[Caroline]

"we think he's guilty" ? 

So? They 'think' 'believe' - how is that a slip of the tongue? I think he's guilty too 

At worst I'd say he looks flustered but he's most likely just nervous about being interviewed and being aware that whatever he said, is likely to end up on here being scrutinised

If what he has said in the past is true shouldn't he know he is guilty?

Not really. he was't there so all he can have is a belief.

I seem to recall that another poster here accused Julie of the same faux pas, highlighting that she said "I still think/believe? he did it" rather than, in THEIR opinion, if she was telling the truth, "I KNOW he did it" If none of us is there when "IT" -whatever "IT" is- occurred, the very most we can honestly say is that we think/believe it occurred.

thats intresting becouse those were the words bews used as well.

Bews wasn't there, was he, ergo, his statement is factually correct.

[lookout]

If Bews had been the ordinary man in the street would you still be saying that ??

thinking implys your not certan i would sort of expect the police and the relatives to be a bit more confident they were right.

No. Unless uncertainty is specified, think and believe are interchangeable. I'd also point out that only a fraction of society is cognitive enough about English usage to know what's strictly applicable.

The word " think " is neither here nor there,without the emphaticism of the word " KNOW ".!

[nugnug]

normaly they say I know hes guilty or hes guilty.

[Jane]

And NO ONE can truthfully be said to 'KNOW' anything unless they were present. All they can have is thought/belief......................other than those who know they know everything.
