1) "Your honor, my client was asleep when he raped her." Is that an affirmative defense?
2) Santa and pot. Hey! There had to be a reason he was always so laid back and happy.
3) Threatening people with "rapist dogs."
4) Do not run naked in front of the police dog - at least not if you want to remain male.
I don't know what standard is actually applied over there but you're right if it's a mere possibility that something else happened there's not going to be many convictions.
ReplyDeleteI suspect the standard is actually similar to ours. The defense attorney was just speaking off the cuff. It would be like me, after winning a shoptlifting case, that the judge couldn't rule out the possibility that my client bought the shirt.
I'd really like to see a (translated) transcript of this case.
