So, you have decided that eye witness accounts, stating 1) that the obvious 
target of the archer ducked, and therefore, the arrow had the clear path to 
the fighter in question, 2) that the archer in question couldn't even see 
the fighter in question due to a person in his line of sight and fire, and 
3) the fighter in question was not OUT OF THE LIST FIELD when he took off 
his helm, is hogwash?  Marshall's at the scene and other eyewitnesses are 
all lieing, is that it?

You are not only calling the honor and integrity of one person in question, 
but you, who had not even seen the incident in question, are calling the 
honor and integrity of warrented marshalls as well as other good gentles in 
question?

Just getting the facts straight here.
