telling the truth (2 Viewers)

[2003HSCstudent]

can someone explain the whole telling the truth thing to me.
We are doing Geoffrey Robertson's Justice Game and i dont understand what it really has to do with 'telling the truth'

also, what would be any good related material to use in this elective?

 

[freaking_out]

'telling the truth"... what a title.

I'm doing The Justice Game, too. Look at how the prosecution and the defence both shape the truth for their cases. Then look at how Robertson shapes the truth to convince his readers (what does he tell you? what does he leave out? etc).

~~The masses do Frontline. The elite do The Justice Game.~~

in the JUSTICE GAME, what are we supposed to look at? or talk about ...say in a 40min essay?

a/how robertsion represents his version of truths, or
b/how teh legal system, ie the british law, represents truth

if [a], WtF is Robertson's version of truth???
edit: besides that truth(justice) are not absolute and can b bended or manipulated 2 achieve a mean
