I don't know the English court rules, but in America when you ask to treat a

witness a hostile it means you're the one who called them to the stand and you want to ask leading questions to them. Ordinarily, you don't get to ask leading questions to a witness you call to the stand. So the term "hostile" doesn't really mean "not on my side."

They made a big point about how she was determined to do it. It wasn't

yeah, it just seemed a bit much, and also some unnecessary drama

The Shazad

Wish I remembered it better. I just remember thinking the whole trial was ridiculous. Maybe I need to watch again,.

Dillinger

4/20/18 1:40pm

yeah, I liked season 1 better, and that was part of the reason

The Shazad

4/20/18 1:52pm

It's not. That's why they hid it.

SandYFan

4/20/18 1:57pm

yeah, he really was an idiot

The Shazad

4/20/18 2:07pm

That was his motivation? I never could figure out why he was doing that.

I thought it was the same reason Filch got involved with the Sea Brigade:

gwalker

yeah there's that too

The Shazad

4/20/18 2:42pm

Yeah but Filch did it in the open. Mark was hiding it, which is so so so stupid.

SandYFan

Yeah, Season 3 begins a new story, with leftover stuff from S1 and 2.

Good to know. I still don't know what the difference was between that one

There wasn't any as far as her tone. The defense attorney may have been

I felt like she attempted to lead witnesses pretty much every time.

They tried to import Broadchurch into the US called "Gracepoint"

David Tennant yes, but every other role was recast.

One of my favorite shows. Each season has a different feel, but interesting and compelling story. The only issue I have

I agree. I’m just saying it happened after the confession and they have proof it

MacGyver

4/20/18 3:22pm

I disagree. I don't think it matters who beat the suspect while in custody.

SandYFan

4/20/18 3:31pm

But they couldn't prove the negative that they didn't threaten him off camera
