Picture 1 :
According to Wikipedia :
“In the Christian Gospels, the Last Supper (also called the Mystical Supper) was the last meal Jesus shared with his Twelve Apostles and disciples before his death. “
Picture 2 :
And a few days ago, the Attorney General went to the Police HQ accompanied with his lawyers (and attorneys) in a 15-seats minivan…
You are free to make and share your own conclusions 🙂
10,11 or 12?
Now, lets come to the number of people who accompanied him.
Referring to l’express of the 5th Nov 2009 (yes, I am a daily reader), the title says “douze avocats” :
This blog post was initially written early yesterday morning, the 7th Nov 2009. To my surprise, while reading l’express dimanche today (yes, I read this too), I became pretty confused, again! On the same page(pg 11), someone says (I quote) “Onze avocats, tout de meme” while another journalist wrote (I quote) : “Accompagné de dix avocats“.
I am not a law graduate or anything, perhaps lawyers or attorneys can be regrouped in same category, I have no idea. Can anyone please explain me?
So, is it 10, 11 or 12?
Which is which???

To l’express people :
Guys, I do not hold any grudge against you, but Mauritians are reading 2 different versions on the same page and a few days ago another number was mentioned.
Another incident : On Friday night, I read something on your newspapers and even blogged about it to express myself about this. Guess what? This morning, the title of that article had been changed! I had to update my blog article.

I am struggling to see what difference it makes to my life if it’s 10,11,12 or a million lawyers… Do we really care about this? Because I thought we had more important things to worry about…

@yashvin: We are not kids. We can find information for ourselves. We have a variety of newspapers, news websites and blogs. Not every news source is comprehensive. We don’t have a divine right to be fed perfect news with a spoon. News articles are delivered with such speed these days that there is bound to be some stuff lost, especially when the same story is reported on by different journalists.
I think we are all adult enough to validate news we are reading. If you read lexpress and you are satisfied with the accurateness, then keep on reading it. If it tells you in one article that there are 10 lawyers and in another, that there are 11 lawyers, then do not read it. Change your news source.
And just because lexpress confused you with an irrelevant figure today, it doesn’t mean they will report absolute rubbish in the future.

I was exchanging with my taximan on this subject and we came to the conclusion that the incident was quite unique. You could say it is historical as it could be a first whereby an Attorney General is summoned for questioning by the police. You could say the boss being convoked by his staff. At least a rare occurrence made all the more colourful by the AG arriving surrounded by a “football team” of lawyers. I doubt that it is his last supper though, he seems to have won that round: 1 – 0. Maybe there will be a rematch?

I don’t know much about this stuff but would only like to add that the media as an agency has as role to give their best and as far as possible, accurate information surtout k’on les paye pour les infos but as we know many of the articles written in our various newspapers can @ times be of very bad quality, not verified, neither supported by evidences…so question is about the proffessionalism of our very dear journalists!!!

I did not notice that l’Express did such a mistake (or is it?) in reporting this news.
Unlike other people, i actually do care about the press reporting facts instead of “rumors”. If they can publish unverified and most important un-sync articles on a subject, imagine the harm they can do to someone (may it be a political figure, an artist, a friend or myself)
They gotta be more serious. Mr.V could have made a case out of this, and could have easily get some millions as compensation for some “fictional” damage these article have made to his “honorable” life 🙂

Weak attempt to defend the overstressed journalists : if you have five fingers in each hand, this does not necessarily mean that you are showing all of them at the same time to the same person. Think of telenovas, where there is always at some point a coup de théâtre and someone appaers from nowhere to claim : “I am the Da Vinci Code attorney of King Rama V”! Some prefer to be taken in photo from a special angle too.
