`All in all, it's just another...........`

I've just been watching the `big trial` in South Africa on the BBC News.

When one has been subjected to the rigourous UK police firearms training regime throughout one's service, including responsibility for the implimentation of a miriad of policy and post incident procedures, one cannot help but take a closer interest when various reasons for firing at a wall, for fear of what may or may not be behind it, are proffered as a defence.

I think, for the first time since I discovered it back in the `70's, I actually believe that the famous Welsh martial art of Llap-Gogh is being so proffered!

Someone commented on Twitter that Oscar's story has more holes in it than that bathroom door...

JuliaM/Conan:
I love how defence barristers can keep a straight face in the midst of a storm of BS.

Have you gotten to the "if the glove don't fit you must acquit" part yet?

And as an aside, just seeing a news video of this no trial is complete until the defendant tearfully says "I'm sorry" to the family...as if that makes things all better.

Yup. On par with sitting out a Nails Scratching Blackboards marathon, this cringe worthy spectacle begs the 'sock' variation on a theme by O J Simpson.
