"""the unsupported word of alleged victims"

They're called witnesses - it's what our criminal prosecution system is based on. What do you want - photographs?""

That's one guilty vote before trial then.

When dealing with the case against a dead man, who by definition is prevented from mounting any defence, it is necessary to consider the possible motives of all who stand to gain from the accusations, whether by receiving compensation, or by sellingtheir stories to the Media, don't you think?

If rumour gives way to evidence, then and only then, I'll join in the condemnation, and if others are implicated, I'll be calling for charges to be levelled.

The point is, I don't know he's guilty, and I suspect you don't either.
