The Unnatural Pause
Following Sacha's suggestion I thought I'd better come and post about the Rugby. It's my thinking that mid second half we were looking pretty good until Pow stopped everything so he could arrange and rearrange the line. Momentum was slaughtered for what looked like an AB photo shoot. Satisfied the line had that look, he made the pass (not the best pass he's ever made). Possession was lost, a bit of this and that and Boks scored.
End of game.
Offlode had seen it all before the lads had so much as laced up their boots.

"Where, after all, do universal human rights begin? In small places, close to home - so close and so small that they cannot be seen on any maps of the world. Yet they are the world of the individual person; the neighborhood he lives in; the school or college he attends; the factory, farm, or office where he works. Such are the places where every man, woman, and child seeks equal justice, equal opportunity, equal dignity without discrimination. Unless these rights have meaning there, they have little meaning anywhere. Without concerted citizen action to uphold them close to home, we shall look in vain for progress in the larger world" - Eleanor Roosevelt

In relation to that article I just posted, it seems pretty clear to me that stuff has surpassed its role as merely the messenger. When looking back over the trial, and all the dirt that was thrown at Elliot, the main consideration is that Weatherston threw that dirt in a closed off room for the benefit of 11 jurors, a judge, various administrative stuff and the gallery, and that for reasons of good taste, not a lot of what was said had to leave that room.
From where I sit now, as it is, I could now contend that I know an awful lot about Sophie Elliot, not all of it good. I didn't hear it from Clayton Weatherston, I didn't hear it from my friend who was on the jury. I heard every last slight and boast and snipe directly from stuff.co.nz.
Weatherston was 'provoked' - parents
is not a headline that should ever have been published. removing the provocation plea will not assist in dealing with this malignancy.

just being south...
I hope you had a nice time, probably not such a bad time to not have internet access.
re: the site, could I suggest ever so slightly larger avatars or would that take up too much space?

You're lucky pal, I was sooo going to tell the whole group... then where'd you be aye?
I sense an element of duress contributed to Mr Tiso's admission.

For those who think a defence lawyer should always go as hard as possible: Weatherspoon will get a longer sentence having run this defence, and run it the way he did, and failed, than if he had plead guilty to murder and feigned remorse and only raised all of this garbage in sentencing.
That's really good to know. thanks for posting that Logan.
