lichtgilphead Posted April 18, 2023 Share Posted April 18, 2023 Every Yoon on here appears to be forgetting that its up to the Crown to prove that an offence has been committed. "I don't recall" is a perfectly acceptable response under caution, and cannot be used to imply guilt. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. It's completely different. The Police offered Boris a Fixed Penalty Notice because they believed that they could prove that he had disobeyed lockdown restrictions. He chose to pay the FPN rather than force the police to prosecute. As far as I'm aware, no-one in the SNP has even been charged with anything yet. The situations are in no way analogous. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All of which makes it the ideal response to questioning if you actually were guilty of the thing you are being questioned about. It's more than possible to support independence and not support the SNP. Surely that's been made abundanty clear over and over again in the last few weeks? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacksgranda Posted April 18, 2023 Share Posted April 18, 2023 3 hours ago, ICTChris said: The police arrest people so they can question them about crimes. If they invite you to talk to them you don't have to. If they arrest you then you have to at least have the questions put to you - you can, of course, refuse to answer or give a 'no comment' interview. "can't recall", shirley? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone, including Stugeon, had Boris guilty before any fines had been issued. His pathetic defence was quite rightly also publicly derided by most politicians and public alike Do you think the SNP leaders would let her give a no comment statement to the police, if it ever comes to that? Honestly? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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...
