Witness Peter Tóth expressed himself on the course of proceedings against Marián Kočner and his lawyer Marek Par during several hours of examination at court. He used a paraphrase of a remark often attributed to philosopher Thomas Aquinas, although he is not actually the author.

Information was provided by the portal Denník N.

Through his statement, Tóth suggested that the court was concerned with unnecessary details. According to his words, the case was addressing trivial matters whilst substantive questions remained in the background.

At the hearing, the afternoon was devoted to resolving discrepancies in Tóth's June testimony. It was compared with his previous statements from the preparatory proceedings as well as from earlier court trials.

Kočner and his lawyer Par actively participated in this part of the proceedings. Their aim was to point out inconsistencies in Tóth's witness statements.
