compo 7,049 Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 Now think about this I have been on jury service seven times in my life and most times the jury is just ballot of a group of ordinary people like me now do the genersl public have the sense to follow a trial like this because his lawyer will be bringing in legal financial lawyers who if truth be told will bamboozle the jury it might all go down to how many blue noses are on duty , its going to be hard for Prentice to get his case into simple terms as the jury will lose interest and have a quick vote just to get out and home . 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uilleam 5,948 Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 Who could possibly foretell in SNP run Scotland a country that will jail you for singing the Billy Boys yet gives rapists Community Service? Indeed, sir, indeed. I forecast that he will receive 28 hours Community Service, which he may spend receiving Instruction in the Catholic faith, and, thereafter, a season ticket for sellikPark. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barebear 37 Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 Donald Findlay must go down as your stereotypical defense lawyer. Big name case, cash to be made, notoriety to be gained..... or is he going undercover? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFK-1 1,693 Posted October 5, 2016 Author Share Posted October 5, 2016 You have to question the wisdom of Findlay taking this on considering his own connections with the club. I doubt he needs the money. Might be ego on his part since he's approaching the end of his career and he's well aware this is going to be about as high profile as a trial in Scotland could ever be and already being tipped to become the longest trial in Scottish legal history. In his view perhaps a suitable closing chapter to his career and a riveting closing chapter to his autobiography. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barebear 37 Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 a riveting closing chapter to his autobiography. Good point - watch this space for a book. I'm an audiobook man, but I don't think I could listen to his dulcet tones for 10 hours 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

der Berliner 3,747 Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 Donald Findlay must go down as your stereotypical defense lawyer. Big name case, cash to be made, notoriety to be gained..... or is he going undercover? Let's hope he does a Whyte on Whyte ... You'd have to commend the Bluenoses that Whyte is still walking upright ... 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
