Dlt Verdict

[hc4361]

Not Guilty. Hurrah!

[ChillDoubt]

Pleased for him. His statement should be interesting, I imagine it'll be pretty scathing.

Makes the Starr debacle look even more farcical.

[dannyk13]

The whole "historic" offences has been a farce.

[Zacs-Master]

Good. The recent verdict does hint at the type of accusations (and, dare i say the nature of the accusers) being made. I really do think it's time for a law banning the names of the accused from the press until, and only if, they're found guilty.

[anotheoldgit]

Good for him, yet another who has had his life destroyed by certain allegations, I wonder now if they will put an end to these historical witch hunts?

It is reported below that two more Coro. stars are not to be charged, I wonder why their names have not been dragged through the mud?

Making plod look even more stupid for not looking into the so called victims stories more closely

farce from beginning to end

[anneasquith]

just what are the CPS doing ? it would appear they are wasting our money :(

[dannyk13]

Bazwillrun, Don't blame the police, blame the DPP

[hc4361]

Apparently the jury were undecided on two charges and the Crown wants 7 days in which to bring a retrial on those two offences.

So, it ain't over for him yet.

[hc4361]

AOG, the police couldn't find the victim. Some random person went to a police station and told a story that could not be backed up at all.

[bazwillrun]

danny

theyre all at fault, it was all bout a media excersise to keep the public and press happy

epic fail.....

[hc4361]

Oh! The judge has ordered the other two charges to be dismissed.

They think it's all over..... it is now!

[chrissa1]

I am very pleased, too.

[mikey4444]

Another marvelous job by the Police and the CPS.

[naomi24]

Fantastic!!! Hopefully all this stupidity will stop now!!

[davetuc]

Wack, Wack, OOPS!

[grasscarp]

I used to know him when I worked at BBC in late sixties/early seventies and even went to parties he was at. He hugged everyone but nothing sexual about it - just a big friendly bear hug. Never heard any scandal about him either. Pleased to hear about the verdict.

[Baldric]

Good news.

[Bazile]

So all these women ( and men for all i know ) are telling a tissue of lies ?

Or is it a case of if in any doubt , then return with a verdict of not guilty

[hc4361]

If there is ANY doubt there has to be a not guilty verdict, Bazile

[grasscarp]

If people are assaulted why wait years to complain? That is what I wonder about. We do know with J. Savile that people did complain and he was interviewed by police but denied everything and it was dropped.
