Yep.
I served on a jury over 30 years ago, where the defence team did a similar thing and utterly confused and brain-numbed most of the jury, who had been given enough 'seeds of doubt'....to bring a not guilty verdict despite the hard evidence presented.
As pointed out in other posts, its all a 'game' played by legal teams.
As pointed out the system failed as much as AH did.
As per AAIB report, that was only his 5th Hunter display that season, and given Shoreham was Sept and thus pretty much near the end of the display season, yet the system thought that was adequate for a FJ display DA when you have less that 40 hrs on type, is.......well......
