Not really - it’s a well known defence.

Besides they are ways around it in certain circumstances.

Yep. It has to proven beyond reasonable doubt, so the judge may rule that the jury find him not guilty.

It is now! after being posted by the resident SN police representative!

"Certain circumstances" are not ALL circumstances.... *sighs* best we remember not to educate the ******* on anymore/further ways to avoid prosecution/punishment for their crimes though.....

Honest, they are ways around it and it is a well known line that all solicitors will know.

Besides, most ******* shoot themselves in the foot before they speak to the solicitor.

Thats not quite right is it? After all in a number of cases haven't his clients admitted to the offence but got off on technicalities or good reasons why they did what they did.

e.g. Fergeson and Beckham admitted speeding but in the case of Ferguson argued he had the squits, and in Beckham that he was being chased by photoographers

In theory, the solicitor can not allow his client to lie - in these cases he can only direct them to go 'No reply'

Know or BELIEVE it to be stolen.

Therefore, if the said £3000 car was actually valued excessively more you would still have enough to charge with Handling Stolen Goods

(unless the CPS decided otherwise )

It’s the same thing in this case – he either knew/believed it was stolen, or he didn’t

True, so the thief just states that he had the correct amount of money in his back pocket. Most solicitors carry a copy of the local news paper for a reason you know.

Most Solicitors (or more likely Legal Rep) will submit a prepared statement and let you do all the leg work

I understand that, but he'll still read a prepared statement during the interview, then go 'no comment' thereon after.

Causing you to do the hard work

When you think, I don't know what his argument was. Part of the custody procedure is to ask her 'Are you taking any form of medication' which she must have answered 'No'

IIRC, she produced aa bottle that the tablets for her 'condition' had come in.

The only problem was, they were dispensed 9 months after she got nicked
