1eyedjack Posted March 10, 2016 Report Share Posted March 10, 2016 In the news today is the assassination of career criminal John 'Goldfinger' Palmer. Initially thought to have died of a heart attack, a post mortem examination *a week later* revealed that he had been *shot in the chest six times*. WTF? It takes a week to notice that someone has been turned into a lead colander? http://www.bbc.co.uk...-essex-35766680 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, and your link appears to be faulty but most of the details are to be found in this piece from 2nd July with today's story being available here.

I suppose that being shot in the chest six times could lead to heart problems. I was reminded of the musical Chicago, where a defendant explains that her boyfriend had run into her knife ten times.

Police used to claim people fell down the stairs - several times Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cyberyeti Posted March 10, 2016 Report Share Posted March 10, 2016 "Used to"??? :blink: Not so much in the UK any more, in the US they seem to just threaten cops while running in the opposite direction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The others tend not to run so fast after being shot. But obviously they were reaching for a weapon while running away. :unsure: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was reminded of the musical Chicago, where a defendant explains that her boyfriend had run into her knife ten times.You reminded me of John Mortimer's play "The Dock Brief". In it a barrister tasked with defending someone accused of murder rehearses an argument along the lines of "the victim's heart stopped... so he died of heart failure" before abandoning it as unlikely to secure an acquittal.
