I've known experienced barristers to do it. I just give them a pep talk and take them back to first principles.

I would feel completely cheated if you had to do that to my barrister who I was paying to defend me.
Charge it !!!!!

You're asking for a logical explanation for an illogical comment.

I'm asking for a justification for the accusation that noseall is an IRA apologist.

If Mottie doesn't have one then he's guilty of making an appalling personal attack, motivated entirely by personal animosity, the very epitome of an ad hominem comment.

Don’t care. Tell me, what would your punishment for a child murderer be?

This is where ellal quietly disappears into the ether…..

Yep, gone to ground. Only reply I’ll get to that will be some sort of personal attack calling me a thug troll or some such swervy shyte. I can read him like a book.

Some of the very best play the fool to sucker the other side. It’s an extremely successful tactic

Don’t forget to tell them about your 2:1 in law.

Mine was a first with honours, perhaps MNW is talking about taking a barista back to basics in coffee making.

I am all for capital and corporal punishment, I think the punishment should fit the crime, obviously for any concerns over guilt is to be avoided and prison but this must be hard labour and not a soft option. Violent offences such as agravated burglary and theft of cars etc, should be met with lashes of substansial proportions to inflict not just pain but to mark the offender. I spent a bit of time in Thailand where they have very severe penantys for drugs and crime in general.

If we took the same approach there won't be any politicians left to run the country...

Safe gaurds would need to be put in place where capital punishment could only be used for the found 100% guilty before they even reach a trial. Anything less than 100% must be a hard labour sentence.

I'm interested in Highwayman's suggestion that when an accused is not found guilty beyond reasonable doubt, he should be sentenced to imprisonment with hard labour.

And that when a person is considered to be guilty, no trial is necessary before deciding to kill him.

Exactly that, if there are crimes that have been commited that doesn't require a trial to prove guilt, then just sentence them to death.

Technically what is the point of a trial if two blokes are filmed beheading a soldier on the streets of London ???

Or some bloke stabbing Joe cox in broad day light
