MR COOK
That is so, I don't have a problem with that Judge, my problem is, it does not mean that if my client did not speak the truth then that this witness must just be believed.  My client is denying everything which this witness says was done to him.  In cross-examination you will know that he denied that he pushed a stick into his anus, so the mere fact that this witness says that it actually happened, and the fact that my client lied in those days during the assault, that does not lead us to the inescapable conclusion that this witness must now be believed.  They could also perhaps have been economical with the truth.
