"It hurt a little bit but I'm ok" lol. Thanks Trooper. On another note I am praying that Helen Garner made it to the GT trial.

How can I find this segment? I need to see it.

A text message from my Dad: Our thoughts ,intentions and eventually our actions bring consequences upon us This applies to all of us If we choose to do bad things we will receive punishment Equally doing good brings good upon us That's a universal law from which no human being can...

My thoughts exactly. The shackles of karma will be forever secured around his ankles.

What does this mean? What happens now?

I think Justice McCallum (from Gittany's case) would've handled this case very differently. There are differences even amongst those in the highest positions and I think it's okay to analyse and try to make sense of the decisions made by the Judge. Sure there's a bit of slurring but I think...

Our legal system is designed to use "non experts" as jury, they have as little knowledge of the law as we do. Decisions and judgements that we make in our ordinary day lives are rarely based on words alone. It is common sense that helps us to decide on things. It's the jury's only tool.

The jury's analysis of the tape should come down to common sense. Common sense being sound practical judgement that is independent of specialized knowledge. In other words, our own normal native intelligence that we all share as human beings. The jury in this trial should be encouraged by the...

I feel the same way! I imagine when they posed the language force question he moved his lips from side to side, crinkled his nose and goes "hmmmm nope"

Mind you I suppose there was no self defence element in the Gittany case. Heck I wish he'd chosen to video rather than record!

I'm interested to hear people's opinion on the similarities of this case to the Simon Gittany case. I know that the eye witness evidence was what really put him away but the lead up of events (the hand over mouth CCTV) were also considered. Is it simply that we could see rather than hear what...

Sorry folks I know it's been asked before but what happens if the jury can't reach a verdict?

It has been said that you can cut off oxygen and blood supply to the brain without leaving a mark. It would also be quite difficult to assess a person's injuries pre falling 14 storeys onto a concrete slab. Any evidence of the trauma that he imposed would be removed by the impact of a fall from...
