That really is tosh, Carol - and that is pretty unusual from you.

Mary said she didn't know all the facts, not enough to be certain sure. Nor do you. Nor do I. Nor does anyone, in a case like this, including the family, the judges, the doctors, the media and of course tye politicians. That's the kind of world we live in, and always have lived in.

Not having all the facts, we make our judgement about what we believe is more likely. And that is an opinion.   Sometimes it's a strong opinion, sometimes it's a wrong opinion. Sometimes it's both strong and wrong.
