Advocate depute Alex Prentice QC asked Mr Withey: "Why did you tell Mr Whyte to walk away?"
He replied: "Because I didn't like the transaction."
Asked why that was he replied: "I felt as though there were too many things to be discovered.
Mr Withey was also asked: "What was his response every time you raised this?"
The witness replied: "He would laugh".
The prosecutor asked Mr Withey how he responded to that and he said: "He's the client."
Jurors heard Mr Withey was "concerned" that the Murray group would not go through with the takeover if they knew how it would be funded.
Asked why, the witness said: "Because they probably wouldn't have liked the thought of him using Ticketus."
He told the court that the proposal was "not concealed but it wasn't revealed".
Mr Withey said they were instructed by Whyte not to reveal it.
He also said that if the takeover panel required the information it "had to be shown".
The witness claimed Whyte said it was thought the Murray group would walk away if they knew.
The trial before judge Lady Stacey continues.
Alex Prentice QC is in court

To be honest while Im sure it would be good if he were found guilty the charge (I think) relates to him hiding the funding method.
If nobody asked then it cant be construed as being hidden.
This is what needs to be proven, and from what Ive read (granted mostly on here) that's not clearly come out.

I can't believe how one sided the press have been with the reporting, one would think it's on Donnie Findlay asking the questions , hopefully the fury concentrate on what is being asked and answered in the court and not what is being reported in the media
----------------------------------------------------------------------
not the fury but the * dury
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I just hope they are a sensible lot and not a bunch of blockheads 😀😀

that might be hard , no gers supporters allowed

Indeed I did and he got me to post this.
Now that I have fulfilled my part of the deal can you now go find a responsible adult to read and explain it to you
To be honest while Im sure it would be good if he were found guilty the charge (I think) relates to him hiding the funding method.
If nobody asked then it cant be construed as being hidden.

I agree with Duke. He can only be found guilty of what the prosecution can prove. What we think we know doesn't really matter in the court. The reading of it that I've done suggests he'll get off. But we'll see how it goes.
