I witnessed a crime
Freddy Woo writes, "A group of us once staggered home so insensible with drink that we failed to notice someone being killed and buried in a shallow grave not more than 50 yards away. A crime unsolved to this day."
Have you witnessed a crime and done bugger all about it? Or are you a have-a-go hero?
Whatever. Tell us about it...

I'd like to think that I would, too. The point is, though, that the courts can - thankfully - only go on the evidence that's presented. Sympathy has little to do with it - again, thankfully (which, incidentally, is why it would be a disaster if defendents' criminal records were known to the jury, and why I'm suspicious of victim statements being read out in court. They're simply too partial).
