EVERY CLOUD HAS A SILVER LINING

We've been working on register and formal and informal language.
In the following video you can hear a lot of formal language, as heard in a courtroom.  The footage belongs to the session when the verdict on the case of Michael Jackson's doctor was published.  Listen to it several times before reading the transcript.
