  • Not Guilty,

    the person who took the call was also surprised at the conversation and they deal with people in stressful situations day in and day out.

    People who take those calls can also send a taxi instead of police assistance, but I digress. :) nevermind.

  • Not Guilty,

    But still, how is this recollection allowed to be used in court while the recollection of the schoolfriend was not?

    I don't think it's about recollection Stuart, it's possibly about relevance to the case.Someone talking about what David may have said about something entirely different to the murders can cause prejudice,which it seems were this case. Recollection from family deals directly with the murders or doubt of. Difference it is, but hey, I no lawyer .

  • Not Guilty,

    I was confused by that legal guff when I read it and was going to ask the same thing...

    Surely opinions here are already answering why it would be prejudicial.It wasn't a fact for the case at hand and could cause prejudice, when in fact it was one person talking about another. That can also be construed as gossip. The Defence's case proved reasonable doubt. Years of questions, queries,opinions and theories, time in prison and many supporters of the right to a fair trial, have exposed the investigation of the murders to be rather biased, causing reasonable doubt. I think Steven Crawford's right sir. :)

  • Hard News: Night at the Museum,

    caught them briefly

    as ya do :)
    I enjoyed the concept. Must admit, the mock english accent at the coat check was a bit off putting for an introduction to what I was in for, but fortunately not the case. Found the sound difficult in the Maori court. Thought it easily could have been set up to run the length of the court with the panel in front of the grain store, thus allowing more people, seats and better sound.(sorry, cant help myself). Therefore I lost interest cos I couldn't hear or then see RB and another buddy Wayne who I thought would cause a bit of laughter. Then the entrance lit up with red and that beautiful stained glass ceiling was very befitting the specialness of being there at night. It did feel like everyone could get something from it.Going through the part of the museum that showed NZ designers was a personal buzz, as it was pointed out to me that my ma and pa had their jewellery in one of the displays. So yeah, I liked it all.

  • Island Life: A week in the life of that…,

    Why not reinstate Worth? There's been no trial, no conviction. Naughty messages to one's girlfriend is embarrassing for leaders, but hardly a crime.

    Oh really? A married woman with two kids, who had to ask her husband to decipher the text messages because she didn't know what all the x's were at the end. NOT GIRLFRIEND! You are insulting her again. Sorry but that is just rude.

  • Island Life: The resignation of Captain Worth,

    Stop it - you're making a visit to KiwiBlog almost tempting.

    I suspect that is Key's morning meeting to get his idea for the day, then calls it consensus.

  • Island Life: The resignation of Captain Worth,

    Goff is trying to table the complaint against Worth, challenged by Key. Junior whip wants to check back first as he objected to tabling it. Goff is waiting.
