I edited my reply. See above. Some people...tell lies.
Have you read the transcript of what he did though? It was deeply creepy, at best.
I think you might be right about T. Watson.

He was found not guilty...of sexual assault. Doesn't mean his behaviour wasn't well out of order.
Or, to put it another way, would you be comfortable with a man behaving like this with a female friend/relative of yours?
Behaving like what? You've heard the prosecutions evidence (which the press obviously love to detail), but you haven't heard all of the evidence and accounts that the jury did.
The jury heard everything and decided he's not guilty, you can't just decide he is without all of the information.
This is exactly the reason we have a jury system and don't just let the mob/media decide.
He is innocent. Jury or judge said so.
A judge or jury said OJ Simpson was innocent.
Have you looked at accounts of his behaviour? Does it strike you as sound? Honestly?
Ok, what about when he admitted to racially abusing that bodyguard?No, he's an alcoholic with mental illness's who needs help - not people on trains trying to set him up to sell their story to a newspaper.

A whole n'other topic but the OJ and MJ trials are not comparable.Also Michael Jackson. In the UK/US systems burden of proof lies in establishing guilt. Needs to be beyond reasonable doubt, unlike the French system.
You can compare and come to the conclusion they aren’t the same (take your point though).A whole n'other topic but the OJ and MJ trials are not comparable.
I wonder how we would all react on here if it had been Maradona in the news for the same story instead of Gazza ??Half of HMP the mount are substance abusers with mental health problems they get treated like the scum of the earth, it's ok when historic abusers like Gazza do scummy things tho because he's good at football and his sense of humour sometimes shines through.

Michael Jackson supporters would have to be the most hypocritical and deluded of any.Also Michael Jackson. In the UK/US systems burden of proof lies in establishing guilt. Needs to be beyond reasonable doubt, unlike the French system.
I'm well pleased at the verdict. Gazza obviously has mental problems but he's given me more pleasure than any other footballer.
He is a genuine Spurs legend. I will never forgive Hoddle for picking Lee instead of him.
He is innocent. Jury or judge said so.
Not guilty is not the same as innocent. In the US, and I’m fairly certain the same applies in the UK, a finding of not guilty means the prosecutor didn’t meet the burden of proof (beyond a reasonable doubt) that the accused was guilty of the charged crimes.A judge or jury said OJ Simpson was innocent.

I didn’t say it’s the defendants duty to prove themselves innocent. The posts I quoted stated that the judge/jury declared someone innocent. That is incorrect.It is the same, it's not the defendants job to prove themselves innocent it's the prosecutions job to prove they are guilty beyond reasonable doubt.
