And there's a real issue.

And the reason the US found that it wasn't lawful is that there's a real issue.

It impedes somebody's right to a fair trial because they've just seen him arrested.

They've seen him in cuffs.

So therefore he must have done it.

So that's the theory.

And that's why they don't allow it over there.

But for some reason we do allow it here.

Again and again, it's repeating.

The other thing is, and this is really important, is it changes what can be said in court.

So often, if somebody's told that they're wanted and that they need to hand themselves in, what defense will do is they will say, well, look, he handed himself in.

The jury can infer what they want from that, but flight, for example, is evidence of guilt, can be evidence of guilt.

And they didn't do that, even though he said that he would hand himself in.

Instead, now what the jury is looking at is somebody who's trying to board a plane and

when he's arrested.

And that is a very different starting position, a very different starting position.

And it was- Looks like he's trying to escape.

Yeah.

And it was- That's what I thought to myself.

Where was he going to?
