the way he says tamihere makes me want to punch baby otters
Listening to CASEFILE and Amber Heard's testimony in the Johnny Depp defamation trial on the same day, I note the same sequence of tenses errors. E.g. "We walk into the room. I sit down. He asked...." Is the Casefile writer 36 years old, as Amber is? Had English teaching-- especially as regards sequence of tenses-- totally collapsed by the time they went to school?
While we cannot allow false confessions to convict an innocent man, I can't help but wonder how many women were spared being raped by Tamahari because he was in jail. While the cause of false convictions has my support, Tamahari himself gets zero sympathy from me. He was a monster and predator, and at least for 20 years women were spared his monstrous crimes.
So sad. Fascinating story though.
The were both very young and full of life, so sad that this horrible thing happened to them , by the hands of that monster.
The adds are out of control. They are so long and tedious blather, a real turn off.
