Silence in Court and Great Scott!!

I have been told that once a person is charged with a crime then they can't be later charged with a lesser crime if it is related to the original charge.

That is why the Police cannot charge King/Kahui with derelection of the children. This is to stop constant coming back by the Police. I can understand that, but I still believe people should have to give evidence if called upon in a Court, even if they are the accused. The stupidity is that if it is a Serious Fraud, they can be compelled to be cross examined, but don't if it is murder, rape etc.
In the Sunday Times Rosemary McLeod wrote lawyers are not after the truth - so true.




Scott Dixon wins the Indy 500.

A great Kiwi boy but he was born in Brisbane to NZ parents and returned to New Zealand and started racing Go-Carts at age 10.

So what was the headline in Australia - Brisbane Boy Wins Indy 500.
