Re: 100 year-old man in Court
Poor guy,at 100 he shouldn't have to go thru this.Isn't there a statue of limitation's?Hell I'm in my 50s and I can't remember everything that's ever happened to me.Especially finer details,this case smells of lies and bogus accusations.I say let him go.

Re: 100 year-old man in Court
Why is it that most are sympathising with some one who has been accused of a crime and the victim is being made out to be a liar and gold digger. No wonder victims of this heinous crime are reluctant to report it. I have said this before. The CPS has to have enough evidence to go forward with a prosecution.

I would always support a victim, but I do have doubts when it takes them 40 years to report it.
The press should be prevented from reporting these incidents until after the trial has proved guilt!

Sometimes I really loathe our press and there should be far stricter curbs.
