As far as im concerned, he got away with it big time and is now laughing in everyones faces because of it!
Personally, i think Michael Jackson got away with it too!
TV presenter Richard Madeley was charged with two offences of shoplifting in 1990.
He was acquitted of stealing champagne from Tesco after a psychologist told the court that he was more forgetful than 95 per cent of the British population.
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.
Blair got away with grand larceny. He got reelected for chrissakes after the Iraq war, endless u turns, 80 stealth taxes and his Mrs milking the freebie system. he will now get away with the cash for honours probe...the teflon lowlife.
