No, Beardy, I'm not stupid and of course I don't believe that. I was making a point (clearly too subtly for you) that a large number of contributors to the 'Capital Punishment' thread appear to have been motivated by a compassion for the convicted which doesn't appear to have been mirrored in their pre-judgment of Jackson. The language used in this thread towards Jackson is savage and clearly assumes his guilt, and that is my objection. There seems to be great hypocrisy operating here, when individuals claim to be paragons of compassion (as in the 'Capital Punishment' thread) yet viciously condemn out of hand someone who, as yet, has not been convicted of anything.

For the record I strongly suspect he's guilty as charged, however I prefer to wait for the court's decision before I slag the guy off.
