Well its all done and dusted!
My big day in court as a pivotal witness in a major case went something like this:
Sworn -in.
Prosecutor: Mr. Hexter, is the accused the man to whom you handed off your parcel on blah blah date.
Me: Yes.
Prosecutor. You're sure?
Me: Yes.
Prosecutor: And the parcel was never received by the adressee??
Me: No. I think you have her testimony on file.
Prosecutor: We do, yes.
Me: Good.
Prosecutor: Well, Thank you. No more questions.
Magistrate: Mr. Jones, (defence attorney) your witness.
Defence: No questions your worship.
Magistrate: Mr. Hexter, you're dismissed and thanks.
Me: Pleasure.
Total elapsed time - about 17 seconds.
I had myself all revved for a good give and take on the reliability of recognising the guy and statistical analysis of facial features.
Oh well.
Justice is nearly done,
I got a nice cup of tea and a sandwich from the DPP.
