I witnessed a crimeFreddy 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...

Word at theOld Bailey bar mess is that plenty of eye-rolling goes on when the defending silk gets asked about Dixie (name of defendant). But he has to do his duty and put his client's case.
I may go and watch his closing speech, which will have to run along the lines of "you can't convict him for being lucky, members of the jury". Or maybe "you've seen her photo -- who wouldn't have done the same thing?"
I was in the same court as the Dixie trial last week, there is SO much material. And he's in a no-lose situation, if he fights a trial he won't get much extra on his likely 30 year tariff, so he may as well give it a go. 2 year max for necrophilia...
