I hope you don't think you can get away with robbing a bank because the camera broke and all the prosecution has against you is tellers stating that you did it.
Oh good grief.
These people who testified against him were caught doping they testified against Armstrong for a lesser sentence/fine or whatever.
The testimony becomes relevant with other evidence, there was none.
no but a defendant does have the right to examine the witness to establish they were actually there, they acutally did SEE what they claim (not in a back room etc.)
IOW a real trial.
Even when there is a murder with no body found, there is actual cross examination.
How about, "everyone goes 65mph on this stretch of road, Officer." Has that ever worked?
How about, "you have singled me out because I'm successful, and you are French?" LOL
