What, again?

What is it with UK murderers and ridiculous claims these days?

I didn't stab her 31 times in the neck and head! She did it herself!

Do you think there was some kind of workshop?

I believe it's known as the C.S.I. effect. It makes them think jurors will buy it if they suggest some ludicrous Deus Ex Machina way the victim could have been killed that didn't involve them stabbing said victim thirty times.

After all, 'that's what happened on TV'.

Unfortunately though, in some cases it seems to work.

I'm rather glad that UK jurors seem to have more brains than that. At the moment, anyway.

I suspect it may be the inbred national cynicism.

Yeah, we don't tend to believe people even when they're innocent, half the time. :)

Yeah, let's hope it stays that way...
