Never once did I find a guilty criminal who would tell you they were guilty. That doesn’t mean they were unwilling to talk about their crime. In fact they either would explain in great detail why they were forced into the act, most often by the person they harmed, or they would explain to you that they were innocent and being persecuted by the legal system for a crime they did not commit.

In 16 months, I never once heard “the horse’s mouth” tell me they were guilty and deserving of the judgment against them.

Further, our legal system provides a great path to gaining the truth. Among those however, there is a conspicuous absence. That being the proverbial “horses mouth”. If the “horses mouth” were a real source of factual information, there wouldn’t be a single person in prison today. Each trial would start with the Horse On The Stand, they would say they were innocent and the trial would be over.


I submit to all concerned that going to the “horses mouth” not be considered in situations like this. However, as the bible instructs seek “Wise Council”

I believe that has been provided.
