00:00 I can't comment about any of that. It's a busy court list. We would have liked a decision today, but that's no criticism of the Magistrate.
00:07 As we've said all along, this is a long road. Some unfortunate circumstances took place, but we maintain our innocence.
00:16 And of course that will be dealt with on another day, but we can't be critical of the very busy court list.
00:21 As I said, the McLean walks on with his head held high. This matter will go on for a while, possibly in another jurisdiction.
00:30 But again, a sentence has to be passed and we have to respect the process.
00:34 They're pushing for jail. Does that make it a critical indiscretion?
00:38 It does. When jail's hanging over your head, of course it does.
00:42 We have our work cut out in respect to where we go after the sentence, but again, I'm part of the system. I have to respect the process.
00:52 All I can say is there's a long road ahead and my client keeps his head held high. Thanks guys.
