Davis Boutflour's televised slip of the tongue !!!

[lookout]

normaly they say I know hes guilty or hes guilty.

That's right and a more positive belief rather than saying " I think " which is all my eye as it leaves an element of uncertainty and wavering. It's certainly no good using the word " think " in a court of law.

WE aren't in "a court of law". Neither were Julie, David, or Bews when they used that expression. In fact, I don't recall that they ever said such words when they WERE in court. Such words were never in their remit. The jury -well, 10 of them- thought/believed he was guilty. They weren't at WHF when it occurred, so HOW could they have KNOWN?

At what point during court proceedings was it required of Julie, David or Bews to make the statement "I think/believe Jeremy is guilty"?

Think it's time for this to stop.

I am locking the thread for now.  Please don't continue it on another thread.  Thanks
