Witness in Rolf Harris trial today

[   This image is no longer available.   ]

Reminds me of the Simpson sketch when Homer is on jury duty and wears 2 pairs of glasses with eyes painted on them wide awake so he can have a kip and when rumbled can take 1 pair off and still get away with a kip. His plan failed but.....

Today`s claim is that Rolph indecently touched a 7 year old girl. She had queued for an autograph at a community centre.

Rolph denies ever visiting the community centre. Should be easy to prove if he went there or not shouldn`t it? Unless it was a look-a-likie impostor.

Doubtless the community centre's local paper is rummaging through the archives. Either way, at least it will be some sort of evidence.

From what I've heard on the news so far I'd be surprised if he's found guilty.

Thinking the same.

Did I hear it right, that one woman said she sold her story to the press for £32,000, then said it was lies?

dirty bugger harris

It is hard to predict whether the jury will find one or more of the accounts persuasive; even without corroborative evidence, they might return a "no smoke without fire" verdict.

the worrying part for the prosecution is that all the news reports are going in the defences way and they havent had their go yet

Why should that affect the case for he prosecution? The jury will reach their verdict based solely upon the evidence presented in court.

if the prosecution are making him look innocent what hope is there for a conviction??????????????????????????

even if they've been catching 'z's ?

Think he's guilty as sin! But I'm surprised that the prosecution called a witness who had taken money fronm the press.

clerkmore.......think i agree but its looking like a not guilty verdict

Can they tell if he did the kids yet?

There's no evidence of Rolf appearing at Portsmouth or Cambridge where some of the alledged assaulting took place.


No confirmation could be found that Mr Harris had been there, despite searches of local newspaper archives, council records and letter drops appealing for witnesses.

Would they do that to prove someone's innocence ?

something sticks in the throat about appealing for witnesses.

Those inclined that way will big up how it has destroyed their lives ... become an alcoholic etc.  ... ask RH for money in a way that can only be described as blackmail .... and offer their stories to the papers via Max ClifforOoops ! ignore the last bit.

Well it would certainly help!

Looks more and more to me like he's pulled a young woman, who has decided to get revenge, and a couple of others have tried to make some money out of him. He may well have been a bit sleazy, but a lot of people are.

Ha! My post of 16 May -- Doubtless the community centre's local paper is rummaging through the archives. Either way, at least it will be some sort of evidence.

I'm off to post my application to law school.

Dingo 1/2; Kangeroo 1/1; Koala 10/1; Tasmanian Devil 50/1

take the koala at 10s
