CHAIRPERSON
Major, I think this is what this case is all about, I must tell you that there are only two possibly explanations as to why you never went to the police and made a statement about your personal participation and the like.  Firstly - and this is how I think - I would like to think that this is the point people who are opposing the application are making, firstly you didn't do so simply because you were not involved at all, you were never involved in this incident.
	The other possibility is that you are involved - if you are involved, you shied away from accepting full responsibility for it and that it is not true that you were at all time or at any time willing to go to prison for it.  As I see things, these are really the only two possible explanations.  Now which one is this one or do you have some other explanation as to why - if you were involved, why you did not come forward and say I'm prepared together with Mr Smiles - you take him along by his hand and say: "Well, let's go"?
