I think its more like people are dishonest when much is at stake. French law, I believe, presumes a defendant lies. This is not a criticism of the defendant, its a recognition of human nature that to the French, the defendant tends to lie.

I think its probably true, too, that people are dishonest if it will protect a family member. U.S. law has a spousal privilege that allows a spouse to not testify against their spouse.

Essentially human beings which are basically just another species on the planet. By the very nature are predators. By probably a big measure, humans are probably the worst species on the earth when it comes to hurting each other.

I trust my wife of 50 years, my attorney who I have known since he was 14 years old and beyond that nobody else. I don't know you, but if you're honest with yourself and sit back and just say who do you really trust. I doubt you'll use up very many fingers.
