This like the old story, if the rope broke, you must be unjustly convicted and got a pardon ? Wink

True by the old English standards that if the rope broke,it was an act of God proving the man was innocent.There was a case in the cape colony in the mid 1800's where 4 Boers were arrested + condemned to hang by the Brits. 1 man hung,the other 3 ropes broke.The British officer hung them anyway which started a great rift between the Boers + Brits.


Never mistake motion for action.
