As I said, it's up to the police to prove their case. Most semi-competent defence solicitors will advise their clients to "No comment" whether they are guilty or not. 7 minutes ago, Musketeer Gripweed said: Do you think the SNP leaders would let her give a no comment statement to the police, if it ever comes to that? Honestly? The "SNP leaders" have absolutely f*ck all to do with how someone replies to questioning under caution. Are you suggesting that Police Scotland are stupid enough to release details of an interview under caution before someone is charged or appears in court? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ICTChris Posted April 18, 2023 Share Posted April 18, 2023 It would be quite something if the person who was First Minister of our country until a few weeks ago, a member of the Privy Council, the person who nominated the Lord Advocate, gave a “no comment” interview to the police like she’s in a episode of 24 Hours In Police Custody, nicked for stealing a quad bike. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it is bonkers that anyone would think it would be an acceptable defence and make her look less guilty of anything. If anything it would make it look even more suspicious Each to their own though, I guess. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why? Does she have different rights to other accused persons? The only way that you will find out what she said under caution (if she is ever interviewed) will be if she is charged with something and appears in court. At that time, the Crown will most likely introduce a transcript of her interview. This is why we have reporting restrictions in advance of any trial. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As it happens, I do think there is something there, many things, but would be quite something if there wasn't. What I am struggling with here is - they have had 2 years to investigate, put it all together with the Crown Office, they then "spring into action" and arrest Murrell - who is then released pending further enqs. Same happens with Beattie. I kinda thought that when PM was arrested, they had the bones of the evidence and case to charge him................but that hasnt happened, and almost 2 weeks have elapsed. I sincerely hope they havent fucked it up, as it will be the most unsatisfactory of all outcomes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of the dafties in the media are ensuring that - even if charged - Murrell et al will wander off into the sunset scot free because of the kind of nonsense Glen Campbell has been spunking out for 2 weeks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
