BILL ROACHE'S LOSS
Hard to feel at ease with such cases and their verdicts, when defendants can call on 'famous' and 'well loved' friends to testify for them.
When 'perfect gentleman' and 'father figure' are coined as predictably as 'our pit bull is such a sweet animal'.
When complainants have endured the tortuous procedures to have their stories heard and when, from it, there are definitely no winners.
The judge directed it was a direct confrontation of accounts that only the jury could decide between.
Our system means that objectively one set of 12 could choose one way and another set of 12 could choose the same way or the opposite.
Our administration of justice is as fragile as that and little comfort can be gained by all the devastated lives involved in this inexact and flawed process.
