can a witness who gave evidence to police, not turn up in court, not giv a witness statement yet that individual still be found guilty without being allowed to question that person who gave evidence to police.

[New Judge]

Without a statement to police there is no witness.

If a statement is given, the defence has the right to call the witness for cross examination if the statement is to be used in evidence. The only exception is where the defence agree that the statement can be �read� in court. Then it is accepted as it stands.

You got a memory like an elephant too, Kempie?
Its the 'running an unlicensed taxi and got caught with my pants down' saga, all over again.
Just take it like a man, Raantheman. You are not going to win this case.

[New Judge]

Thanks, kempie.

I believe I got sucked into this saga at some point last summer, but my memory for names is nowhere near as good as yours.

I'll steer well clear of anything similar posted by raantheman in future.
