@hawkeye10,
Quote:you seem to not not know what you are talking about...yet again.
Except that statement pertains to you, and not to me.
When uninformed people, like you and BillRM, latch onto these Wiki articles, in order to try to bolster yourselves in an argument, you both, unfortunately, tend to distort or misinterpret what you read, or you grab onto information that isn't relevant, mainly out of ignorance.
You can't substitute a Wiki article for a lack of thought on your part. Nothing in that article refutes that jury's verdict in any way. In fact, it's not even relevant, at all, concerning who was responsible for Diana's death.
That excerpt you posted clearly states that the scope of a coroner's trial is to establish how the deceased came by his/her death--and that is exactly what the jury did in the instance of Diana's death--they ruled it an unlawful killing, due to reckless and negligent driving, by
both the driver of Diana's car
and the paparazzi, which is equivalent to manslaughter.
In other words, the driver of her car, and the paparazzi following/pursuing in their cars, were so reckless and negligent in their driving that they caused Diana's death--they were responsible for her death.
And that jury verdict, arrived at after a 6 month trial, was exactly what the Metropolitan Police in London had earlier concluded after a 2 year investigation.
Quote:John Stevens, the former chief of London's Metropolitan Police, said the verdicts vindicated the force's two-year investigation.
"What they have said, of course, is that the deaths were caused by Henri Paul and also by the paparazzi," Stevens said. "If you read the report, you will see that's exactly what we said"....
You and BillRM should stop latching onto these Wiki articles, which give both of you a false sense of knowing something, or understanding something, you think you can then use against someone in an argument, but when you post these things, that then turn out to be irrelevant, or don't support your argument at all, you both make yourselves look all the more ignorant--and just plain desperate in your need to appear to be right, even when you aren't. Some "seeker of the truth" you are.
So, as usual, it's you, and your sidekick BillRM, who don't know what you are talking about.
And that makes both of you rather big bores.
