Episode 1 question


The perp had been convicted of a murder by the court, but when it came time for the sentencing he claimed "not guilty". End of episode. ???? What was that all about?

reply

He hadn't been convicted of anything, surely?

He'd be charged and the trial was about to begin. Despite everything the cops knew he had done and he / Moira had told them, he was pleading not guilty at the start of the trial.

I'm guessing it was a plea on the grounds of deminished responsibility or similar.

reply

No, he claimed "not guilty" before the trial.
