CHAIRPERSON
No, I find that amazing, that this young man would have sat there after, according to you, he had made all these admissions, knowing the rest of the group were coming and just sat.  It seems - on the version you have given, it points rather more to a man being taken completely by surprise as to what happened.  Do you say that is not the position, that he knew he had been found out, he knew you had summoned the rest of the group?
