   What I posted appears to have annoyed you, but your statement suggests   
   that you didn't get to the point that the functions of both the coroner   
   and any jury appointed by a coroner were taken over by a judge, namely   
   'Lord' Hatton, in the David Kelly case.   
      
   >An opinion need reflect any more than simple belief.   
      
   You appear to think that truth equals 'what the authorities say', when   
   it comes down to it. Of course a verdict is an opinion. Why don't you   
   realise that?

   So you're not waiting for the 'verdict' then? :-)
