Tam - Can I suggest that your posts were specifically replied to as a mark of respect, because you actually had something to say? Guest Joe had nothing to say. "Let her rot" is not worthy of a response. You were not being attacked, you viewpoint was being criticised. That's what happens sometimes when you have a viewpoint.
In the spirit of such friendly criticism, I think it's pretty naive to think that if a person is found guilty they must be guilty.Especially when there is so much obvious evidence that the trial was a fix.
