He had this to say on the American legal system at the time: “the reason I’m sitting here, let’s be honest, is not only because I was innocent… but because I had enough money not to be swept away by a process that’s set up to sweep you away”.

Due to being a Chinese learner, I have been playing a lot of Chinese developed games over the last few years.

Thanks Tom - appreciate your efforts as this is fast becoming my favourite corner of the internet. Hope your flat purchase goes well.
