Faith Healing demonstration in British court

[RuleBritannia]

He should be happy that we even give him a trial, in Saudi Arabia they just kill you.

"You did it with bogus advertisements and outlandish guarantees - you used a veneer of holiness to get them to pay large sums of money that they couldn't afford."

Kind of implies that if he had used a deep amount of holiness it would have been OK

I read that to mean, you pretended you were holy but you're not. I don't think it implies anything, because he/whe would have to show actual holiness to pass this test.

Agreed, but that leaves open the possibility that the judge was implying that real holiness does exist, but this piece of scum simply did not have it...

I guess that demonstration wasn't particularly convincing to the jury then? How surprising.
