Hi Haohmaku,

 

I found in the book of A.J. Thomson (page 81-90) that:

 

1. that is NEVER used in non-defining relative clauses as relative pronoun.

2. that is used in defining relative clause as a subject after all, everyone, everybody, noone, nobody and those.

e.g. everybody who/that knew him liked him.

 

Your sentence contain a non-defining clause so that cannot stand there.

 

Right!
