 It must have meant that the registrar had doubts himself... after a
fortnight, she'd be *his* patient.

 This is the great inequity in our Court system. The Prosecution
hasimmense resources, the entire Police Force to investigate, and all
the money they need to hire the smarmiest lawyers. The plaintiff has
fuck-all. Our only defence is silence.

 You can see how well it works with the Mafia, or these Muslims in
Lakemba. Keep your mouth shut, get a cheap lawyer to be your witness,
tell the cops to bugger off, and where does their evidence come from?

JT> He sited his mistake as talking too early. They knew what to

JT> witness" that knew everything about laser guns.

JT> He said if he ever would do it again, (or rather, if he ever
JT> had to go though it again), he'd keep his trap shut, and open
JT> it only when he needed to at the last minute, so they wouldn't
JT> have the opportunity to come back with any "expert witness".

 That's exactly right.

JT> He was representing himself, and they told him that was part of
JT> his mistake, he didn't have a chance.

 That's not necessarily true. There have been soem classic examples
of ordinary people absolutely screwing lawyers in court. Of course, if
you're winning against a second-rate prosecutor in a low court, he'll
call it off and get a new trial with his big guns in the supreme
court. If all else fails, they just run you in circles until you run
out of money.

JT> That's what I said wasn't it? The side with the biggest penis,
JT> er, lawer, wins.

 What comes next, is people start taking the law into their own
hands. A population is ungovernable unless they let themsleves be
governed. As soon as a people see that the Law is unfair, or unable to
protect them, Anarchy rules okay.
