The Defence Will State Their Case

[Nicholas]

Stephanie I do not need that explaining to me, I am quite aware that he was the defendant. However - he was called to the stand by his own defence team, he was questioned by his own defence team in order to adduce evidence to disprove the prosecution case - he was his own witness - in fact the only witness to the crime he committed. He took the witness stand to give his evidence in chief led by his own defence barrister. The defence, as you well know, can call witnesses and that also includes any defendant.

Go on, admit it, you copied the above from here https://forum.wordreference.com/threads/evidence-in-chief.3312105/

 

No Stephanie, I did not.  I used the latter part of my post from the oxford link I put up in an earlier post. I happen to know what evidence in chief means, unlike yourself who like's to copy copious amounts of information.

15 . The appellant's evidence to the jury amounted to an admission of serious criminality on his part. He gave evidence, too, that Mr Mahmood was a major drug dealer. In giving his evidence, the appellant gave a detailed exposition of his own history of drug dealing. The purpose was to explain to the jury how he came to be in frequent contact with Mahmood. That history is sufficiently described by the trial judge during the course of a ruling she made:

"I turn then to the evidence … that he gave in chief. …

No I am totally wrong, defendants cannot give evidence in chief, the appeal court must be wrong also...

I'm glad you all understand the working of the law.... It still throws me, but if I follow correctly, then Clegg should not have called Dr Vincent Tabak to the stand, and questioned him...

Therefore, why does no-one shout from the roof tops that this case stinks..... And that the defence behaved improper... Or is it a sham trial like I have said previous..

It is the defendants choice to take the stand, when he takes the stand it is up to his own defence barrister to call him to the stand and they question him before the prosecution.

11. As to the events, in evidence in chief, Taj explained that he attacked Mr Awain with a tyre lever:

Would you like me to carry on disproving you?

Can't get my tiny little mind around all this.... will leave it to those whom understand better.... I will stick with my bias, and if I am wrong, who cares, everyone can carry on as normal.. I may have learnt not to get involved in things I clearly have no comprehension of...

Humiliating me... enjoy

That was aimed at Stephanie, who clearly does not know what evidence in chief is.

Yes, isn't it great? It was aimed at you and your obsession with Sandra Lean! 

Although I have absolutely no idea what my avatar has to do with you being proven wrong, as you clearly have been. Oh dear!

Deflection as there nothing else to argue about. It is clear you know what you are talking about and that makes people feel uncomfortable. You dont need links and copy and paste.

Thank you Jixy.

A better person would have admitted they were wrong, apologised and moved on...
