frank stokes
I discriminate indiscriminately
Yeah but the sling would probably be the one identifying factor (besides his mate being nicknamed bigg bigg or something - manase is short)...Not really, frank. The argument is more likely to be something like this: It was dark, pitch back, and happened in an instant, and even the victim can't identify the attacker. In those circumstances, who is a potential witness likely to focus on? The guy with a public profile and his arm in a sling.
Plus old mate witness says he saw him stab the bloke with the other hand... that is a pretty specific recollection...
Who knows what the truth is but, jebus, wtf was he doing there in the 1st place... ?
Stabby? Maybe... Muppett? Definitely...
