'When a crime is committed, you can't pursue only one of the guilty parties.' Maitre Jacques Verges

'When a crime is committed, you can't pursue only one of the guilty parties.' Maitre Jacques Verges Go, Jacques, go. No, Jacques, no. Votes: 174 Comments: 2 Added: May 2004 Comments: MrTrilby - 1st February 2006 15:46 What an odd question.   SimonTrew - 13th September 2007 15:37 "only" here is badly placed as it could (admittedly unlikelily) be attached to "pursue", so that it would appear that you were pursuing one of the parties, to the exclusion of all other activities. Here it is intended to mean that you should go for both sides, and although "one of the parties only" is strained, "you must pursue both [or all] of the guilty parties" would serve better.   You must vote before you can post a comment.
