THE I’m jumping the gun. Thank you.
RECORDER:
MR Well, I
POTTINGER:
THE Over to you, Mr Pottinger.
RECORDER:
MR I don’t - the -1 don’t - I
POTTINGER:
THE If you call your evidence to show us that he was not
RECORDER: covered and then we’ll take it from there.
MR Well, we — we — we simply show what he was doing
POTTINGER: at the time and what he said to the officer.
