Its a cunning ploy to bore us into submission

Absolutely none. This is so far off track its ridiculous

The lights were turned on. Doesn't mean that they were on. It means the switch was on. Are you suggesting that someone threw the back seat into the sea on the 20th, then cunningly returned with a freshly crushed car on the 22nd and sneakily chucked it in the ocean with no one noticing? Wow...

This is all meaningless. There are so many variables it's impossible to calculate. The thing was driven into the ocean. The waves bashed it up against the rocks. End of story

I said some time ago that I wouldn't post again but I need to reply to this. I'm not sure how you deduce that the battery needs to be engaged to turn the lights on. In all my many years I've never seen a car that needs ignition on to use the headlights. Ignition on and lights in the on position...

It was simply a demonstration of how car roofs crumple under the stress of a flat hit in a rollover. Probably not as unhelpful as the suggestion that I read earlier about the thing being flattened in a crusher

Re the roof damage to the Fiat. Roofs flattened easily on old cars. In this video from 0:33 -0:39 secs this is clearly demonstrated. Although the car is a Vauxhall Viva, it is the same vintage and very similar shape to the Fiat....(bear in mind that this was pre roll-cages, later crashes shown...

No, the fee is always negotiable. I know this from personal experience. An example is the Ivan Milat trial which was delayed due to wrangles over Legal Aid funding for his Defence Team. The dispute was eventually resolved after a schedule of fees was NEGOTIATED with his Defence. Pro-bono work...

Wow, you are very sensitive. I dont recall criticising you, I simply stated what the rules are and what the rights of an accused person are

The fee would be negotiated depending on the means of the alleged person to pay and the contribution of the State. A competent Defence is the inviolable right of an accused person

The Cab Rank rule applies in Australian Courts. Cab-rank rule. In English law (and other countries which adopt the rule), the cab-rank rule is the obligation of a barrister to accept any work in a field in which they profess themselves competent to practice, at a court at which they normally...

What an incredibly accurate description..."cancer of the soul". PTSD is a nightmare. Some days I just don't want to do it anymore

There is occasional peace, although fleeting. Some things should just never happen to a young boy. Thank you for your kind words:star2:

Witness identities can (and often have been) protected by pseudonym direction issued by a Magistrate or the Trial Judge. Witness addresses can be simply listed as 'known to Police'. I know this because I have had it happen to me. My identity is still subject to a 'Non Publication Order' because...

Not me. Never had one (I think)......probably inevitable though

You are right, it is inexcusable. Being abused as a child doesn't provide any justification for any type of poor behaviour. Survivors of abuse should better understand the damaging consequences of this type of behaviour. To hurt fellows humans still requires a choice to be made.

A walk in the forest with Ivan Milat!

They are, but a 'rocking armature' is a very different setup to the one shown in the diagram

This was discussed in an earlier thread. I think it was agreed that the diagram was an armature wiring diagram
