Successfully established, the insanity defence gets you completely off the hook. DR, however, merely reduces the charge - from murder to manslaughter (or to use the correct term in Singapore, "culpable homicide not amounting to murder").<BR/><BR/>Not sure of the UK position, but in Singapore you have Gilbert Koh aka Mr Wanghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01027678080233274309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12908820.post-1122036751943612662005-07-22T20:52:00.000+08:002005-07-22T20:52:00.000+08:00As a forensic expert after watching 4 seasons of C...As a forensic expert after watching 4 seasons of CSI, I can only trust the evidence... except there isnt a lot.

While I dont think Took is innocent, I just cant help but feel that there is an accomplice who is threatening him to keep quiet.
