Sorry to sound silly but what is perverting the course of justice? Ive heard it said many times but dont know what it really means?
This is what wiki says
Perverting the course of justice, in Canadian, English, Hong Kong, and Irish law, is a criminal offence in which someone prevents justice from being served on himself or on another party. It is a common law offence carrying a maximum sentence of life imprisonment.
Perverting the course of justice can be any of three acts:
Fabricating or disposing of evidence
Intimidating or threatening a witness or juror
Intimidating or threatening a judge
He's will most likely of been the fabricating or disposing of evidence
