A topical video: What constitutes "reasonable force"

Another video from barrister-at-law Alan Robertshaw. One interesting point he makes is that the common courtroom assumption that a statement given immediately after an event provides the best evidence is mistaken.

I also like his favourite line: "cross-examination does not mean examining someone crossly". And there's a useful tip on how to dress if you're planning a robbery.

  1. Thanks no idea what was said spent most of video thinking 'I know that church' and yes it turns out I do. St Agnes is lovely and I am so old I remember the seal sanctuary there before it moved to Gweek. Used to have the hockey pitch on top of the cliffs a decent whack could deliver to Chapel Porth - assuming the gale wasn't from the west.
