Speaking of Branson, did he cameo in Casino Royale? There was a guy at the security gate at Miami airport who looked a lot like him.

Thanks for the last detailed replies - I will read them tomorrow. I have to go to bed now!

quote: Dave Williams
In civil court, it is often misunderstood about what is and is not admissable. It is often a misconception that you can admit evidince in civil court that you otherwise could not admit in criminal court, this is not correct.

Dave - Your post is mostly right except for a couple things. A very good summary of the differences (I should have posted this earlier) can be found here.

A quick summary of some differences are:
1. You are not protected by the constitution in a civil trial, therefore:
2. No right to speedy trial
3. Defendant must testify
4. No right to an attorney
5. In a civil case, an attorney may properly demand information that would be inadmissible at a criminal trial
6. Punishment

There are some others, but this is a good start. It can be a bit confusing, but Churchill wrote "Democracy is the worst form of government, with the exception of all the others." I think the same can be said about our legal system.

He's had a sex tape out, I'm surprised this hasn't made bigger news
