Thread Name: Rolf Harris - sex abuse charges
Subject: RE: Rolf Harris
so the evidence came out in public

It did indeed, Kevin. Very publicly and delivering a prime example of trial by media. The fact still remains that Saville was never and will never be found guilty in a court of law. He is very likely to be guilty of all charges but as he cannot defend himself we will never really know all the aspects. Just as Lizzie points out that we do not know all the aspects of the Harris case.

Why is it OK to publicly talk about one and not the other? Surely, if 'talking about these things' is to be restricted it should be restricted to those who are capable of defending themselves?

Cheers
