How does this:

By the jury's verdict it is plain that you did not take the knife with you to attack Julie Simpson.

Square with this:

Before leaving home, she had wrapped a kitchen knife in tissue paper and put it in her handbag.

It tells you how it squared in the article:

"She said she took the knife with the intention of taking her own life in front of Miss Simpson."

You can think what you like about the veracity of that, but it tells you the reason.

She no doubt intended to open
some mail en route!

We keep hearing the line:
"Since you weren't in the
court room to hear the
evidence first hand, it is
not right to judge the
deisions of the jury."

Just reaffirms the truth
of the old platitude re
the verdict depends on
which party has the best
lawyer!
