"Court told of 200kmh race before deaths"
The West, 5 Sep 06, page 9A bus driver told the court that he saw two cars driving past at at least 200kmh. A local saw two vehicles racing at about 150kmh. The next day's evidence has a policeman who saw the two cars travelling at more than 160kmh. The defence lawyer says, "he was not racing anyone".
What?! Not racing?! Two cars, driving at the same time, at the same speed, on the same road -- "not racing"?!
Okay, so a defence lawyer is paid to represent their client's interests. Did he say, "My client says that he was not racing"? No. Just, "he was not racing". Was the lawyer there? No. Does he really believe that his client was "not racing"? Who cares.
Justice be damned. Ethics be damned. Here is a lawyer who has been paid to lie. Do you trust a person whose honesty is so obviously for sale? Who else will be paid to lie for the defence?
"Justice" will go to the team which pays most for its liars.
