Why do people think it’s wrong to tell the truth about someone who has done or is going to do some wrong. Have you grassed on someone ?

The answer to your question is yes. I also told my teacher that ‘Smelly ‘ Berryman stole my ruler.

That's two questions. Isn't the new rule that only one can be asked at a time and you haven't used the recently established format.

I suspect that this didn't happen as frequently as folklore might suggest. I know that McAlpines had a strict "no corpses in the concrete mix" policy for example

True, grasses ended up on a slab but police came against a brick wall. Were between a rock and a hard place. It was difficult to cement a case together.

Unfortunately the police rely on a lot of pillar talk, and the long road of justice takes time. I'm sure they have support in these case's and the evidence is built on a firm foundation.
