Amazing displays of ignoranceSandettie Light Vessel Automatic tells us: "My dad's friend told us there's no such thing as gravity - it's just the weight of air holding us down". Tell us of times you've been floored by abject stupidity. "Whenever I read the Daily Express" is not a valid answer.

Who are these contemptuous enemies of justice?If they give the jury the facts, and the jury gets it wrong, it's the jury's fault.
If they don't bother giving the jury the facts, and the jury gets it wrong, that's their fault (not the jury's). And they're as bad as the criminals the defendants are alleged to be.
Do these enemies of justice also ignore the difference between P(A|B) and P(B|A)?
Any chance you could be a whistle-blower for such travesties of justice?
FOR I AM OUTRAGED!

I'm less of a whistle-blowermore of a patient-explainer-with-many-weary-sighs.
and thankfully everyone here is quite stern about transposed conditionals. The only time I've encountered them in court is from some of the less respectable defence 'experts'.
