It behooves us to keep some distance from what the media and public spokespersons tell us. The case has several distinct aspects:

• What exactly happened? (Since we do not know, we may need hypotheses like "Assuming witness X told the truth ...")
• Did the jury etc. do their duty?
• What are our personal moral conclusions?
• What are our emotional relations to celebrities?

The last point seems particularly pertinent for fans of performing arts who love to shout "Hosianna!" or "Crucify!" at their idols. Real life is complicated, particularly when related to sex.
