I think it is generally accepted that OJ Simpson was guilty, but he was tried fairly and acquitted, and that's how the legal system works.
Other high-profile cases mentioned may blur the facts to ensure a sensational story - Michael Barrymore was not charged in connection with the death at his home, only with allowing it to be used for drug consumption.

Until criticised by the system for expressing a contrary opinion to the jury based on the fact that 'you don't know all the facts how can you comment'.
These days with open trials and reporting so broadly available we, the Joe Public can oflt or not.
On that basis Barrymore justs joins the list of Jeremy Thorpe, OJ, Michael Jackson and Madely. These comments are not biased they just reflect what most of us think. Long may the jury be the decider but the 'best' system it is not.
