Did you actually read my post? The answer is already there.

This is not "Law and Order" where you go to trial within a few weeks for the sake of completing the story in an hour long TV show. Depending on the complexity of the case defendants can wait a long time to go to trial. The British system has a preliminary hearing phase and later a jury trial. The authorities can bypass the prelim and issue an exofficio indictment which may be what happens here. This trial or these trials could go many months.

When you use the phrase in red you are implying that you have a vague memory of them all being released and want someone to confirm. Is that not making it up when in fact they were not all released and there is no source to back it up.

No. Having a vague memory but admitting uncertainty is a far cry from complete fabrication.

No, it's not making it up. It's asking a question based on information I thought I had read. It's called uncertainty and asking for clarification.

Making it up: Making a statement of fact I know to be false. I didn't do that.

I guess in your world, asking a question is making something up. :rolleyes:

You have anything newer than 1 YEAR ago? Of course they weren't released right away. :rolleyes: I'll dig around later, but it's almost 2am and I need to get to bed.

Did you actually read my post? The answer to my entire question is not there. ;)

No this is deceit by implication

If asking a question is "deceit by implication", your post asking a question above would be much the same. :rolleyes:
