That's not what he said though, is it. What he did say was:
"As it turned out the Police's evidence was a string of lies."

Of course we all know that the Courts will always believe the word of a Policeman over the word of Joe Public because they are there to uphold the law without prejudice and to tell the truth under oath.

This is unfortunately where it all goes wrong.

"The trouble is that the Court doesn't take kindly to people saying that the policemen involved are a pair of liars and there's not much could be done since Niall had no witnesses to back him up."


This is what he said Ant.....I do believe that that is deemed OPINION, not fact, and quite rightly you will not get very far with opinion....unless it is expert! Of course the two Officers are not experts either!

I can also assure you that the Magistrates are told not to believe a Police Officer just because he is a Police Officer.
