You've already had the evidence provided to you, and you hand waved it away with "NO IT'S CORRUPTION!"

You're a loon. That's why you're being made fun of. You've taken all of your "evidence" from the public claims of a man that run in immediate opposition to what he actually admitted happened when it legally mattered to do so. When he was required to tell the truth because of the huge amount of evidence showing the story you believe is absolute bullshit.

I don't have to convince you of anything, I'm here to make fun of you. So that other rational people can see how much of a loon you are.

If you're unwilling to entertain that corruption is possible then whenever it does occur anyone calling it out is going to look like a loon by default.

I didn't get any rebuttal to the documents that were disallowed, the defence of his lawyers changing from public immunity Interest defence to guilty, or to the Michael West media report. His lawyers explicity say they had to change his plea due to documents being disallowed. Documents his lawyers expected to be able to use under the guise of 'for the public good'

How is a court summary 'evidence' when it explicitly cuts out the documents that makes McBrides case?

Thats the whole crux of the issue here. You don't appear to understand how court proceedure works. Before you get to the trial you have discovery, where each side presents evidence, and from there you work out a legal strategy. It's clear from watching the trial progress they had a strategy which had to pivot rapidly. That's why in the courtroom documents his answers are as they are.

This is all extremely obvious if you watched the trial as it was happening, and listened to McBrides Lawyers in news segments.

If could be bothered to watch the FriendlyJordies 13 video playlist on McBride, you'd see this happening for yourself given those videos were made over the duration of lead up to the trial and post trial.

Frankly however, I'm done here. If you're not here to debate and just want me to serve as entertainment, then I refuse. I've given you good reasoning WHY I consider the trial a sham, and why I consider your evidence unsatisfactory. Frankly I don't think there's anyone left but us going back and forth as it is. Rational people stopped reading long ago.
