Bullpucky.
That Wafer stated that his shotgun spontaneously discharged is a fact. The only fact at this point is that the statement was made and that Wafer made it.
That the gun actually spontaneously discharged is not a fact in the case until it can be proved to be true.
What is FACT?
Wafer's statement that the shotgun spontaniously discharged is a supposition or an opinion . NOT A FACT.
It is a fact that Wafer made a statement. It is not a fact that his statement was true either legally or figuratively.
You aren't a lawyer and your attempt to protect your lie with legalese is an utter and complete failure.
You seem to want to see white guys who murder unarmed black kids to go free. You have a substantial history of staunchly defending this type of murderer.
Now tell us why.
Bullpucky is right.
The above response just shows how wrong you were for assuming the word "fact" was used differently than it was.
And I seriously doubt you understand what you read in that
truncated and unlinked explanation from 1910. Nor do you seem to understand specifically what it is speaking towards.
Your failure to understand that a "fact" is something said to be true, is your problem.
The previously provided example of the rape accusation should have sufficed, but because it didn't, try understanding the following.
Unless trial by Judge, the jury is the trier of fact. Do you not know what that means?
They are the trier of that which is said to be true.
Some of those facts have more weight than others.
And if not countered, they are undisputed facts.
The jury decides what is true amongst those provided facts.
They decide what facts they believe and disbelieve.
Please note that 4 & 5 apply to the legal field by example given and specificity of the definition.

Wafer's statement that the shotgun spontaniously discharged is a supposition or an opinion . NOT A FACT.
Wrong.
His statement is evidence which has already been admitted.
Nor is his statement supposition. He is telling you what actually happened. It's a statement of an actual event. Not supposition. :lamo
So again; "Wafer's statement is a fact, and has already been admitted as evidence."
You aren't a lawyer and your attempt to protect your lie with legalese is an utter and complete failure.
You know not of what you speak.
You seem to want to see white guys who murder unarmed black kids to go free. You have a substantial history of staunchly defending this type of murderer.
Now tell us why.
:doh
Your delusions are yours to explain, not mine.
Especially as there was no murder here.
