Butt/Amir/Asif - Spot Fixing Trial

[cnerd123]

Don't you lose all that you gain if you go off the roids?

Not if you continue working out. I'll admit I don't really know much at all about roids.

[Agent Nationaux]

Asif and Butt's lawyer going at it. Asif is blaming Butt for no-ball (Butt told him to go faster) and Butt's lawyer blaming asif. Lol

 

[Agent Nationaux]

Asif claims that Butt sledged him during his no-ball incident.

Spot-fixing controversy: No reliable evidence against Salman Butt - lawyer | Pakistan Cricket News | ESPN Cricinfo
Spot-fixing controversy: Mohammad Amir 'the sacrificial goat' says prosecution | Pakistan Cricket News | ESPN Cricinfo

"When you came into this court room for the first time you all took an oath to say you will give a verdict according to the evidence and nothing but the evidence. In the case of Salman Butt there simply isn't enough evidence to find Salman Butt guilty. There seems to be a fix between Mazhar Majeed and Mohammad Amir and you must decide if that fix involved Mohammad Asif. What reliable evidence does the prosecution have that Salman Butt was involved in the fix of the Lord's no-balls?

Looks like the defense's tactics are on show. Lay it all on Amir. First time I've felt a little bit sorry for him.

Can a legal person tell me why Majeed was not put on the stand? Why were the defense attorneys not able to cross-examine him?

If, as seems to be the case, Majeed and Amir have pleaded guilty, they are still co-defendants and therefore not compellable witnesses for the prosecution. In those circumstances I'm slightly surprised that they didn't offer to turn Queen's evidence and give evidence for the prosecution, as that would be of some use to them in mitigation. I would think that they chose not to, although it is possible that they made the offer but the CPS decided not to call them

From what I have seen from this case Salman and Asif have come across as conniving, scheming snakes who will do whatever they can to get out of this, Aamer on the other hand comes across as a stupid, naive clueless kid who takes the word of anyone be it his agent, captain, colleague or his lawyer.

Cant believe Salman Butt had the gall to compare cricket to a piece of trashy entertainment like WWE. Absolutely no respect for the game

He wouldn't be sitting there if he had any respect.

Some very strong closing statements...especially Asif's lawyer had a very well worded closing statement...
