oh dear: Not meaning to means you are not guilty

While this solution worked, it was fundamentally flawed, creating the otherwise contradictory systemic anomaly, that, if left unchecked, might threaten the system itself. Ergo, those who refused the program, while a minority, would constitute an escalating probability of disaster.

It's ok... you can have last post if you really want to!

I'm just saying that the point of law which will be debated will be that of intent.

The Jury will decide whether he had that gun with the intent of killing someone.

If, for example, a mate of his gave him the gun "just to have", or to make the robbery look more real, or whatever, it could have legitimately gone off by accident. And he could have legitiately not known it was real. All of these things are unlikely, but all possible.

You lot have got him guilty of murder before the trial is even over! And I'd bet that if this was a white, middle aged woman, or some suited-up, city stock broker type in this guys place yous wouldn't be as quick to sentence him.

B*ll*cks.

It doesn't matter what race/colour/creed he is, he's guilty as sin.

You are telling me he accidently cocked the gun and then took off the safety catch and then fired it 3 times at police officers by mistake???

Gun's don't just randomly fire, you have to do a few things to make them ready to fire, if you don't cock it there will be no round in the chamber so when you fire it nothing will happen. If the safety catch isn't taken off nothing happens when you pull the trigger. You don't cock a gun and take the safty catch off before you go out as it could go off at any time.

If he genuinely wanted the court to belive it was a mistake he should have said that he thought his mate had handed him a blank firer and he was shooting off some blanks to scare the officer. Whaqt he is doing is telling very bad lies and he should go down for life!!!

I'm not making a joke of what is clearly not a lighthearted matter, but did you know that you used the word cock or cocked 3 times in this post!

Well why dont we write a letter to the British Judicial System and tell them to just do away with this hokey cokey courts and jury system they've got going, and leave it to the completely unbiased media (and the people on this forum) to decide who should be put away for life instead then?

I'm not going to bite at everything today....just racism and the law (I have to rashion myself!)

How do you know he cocked the gun?

Maybe it was double action...
