ROLF HARRIS APPEAL................................

Of course! - 'HE' is famous.

He's entitled to apply for an appeal. Doesn't mean his application will proceed to an appeal. He gets the same treatment under the law that Joe Schmo does. You should stop believing everything you read in the Daily Sport.

I would doubt we would pay for it, he has money, I suspect he has to fund himself

A judge will decide if he has grounds

that is the LAW

I'm not a lawyer but his problem might be that it is not a proper ground for appeal that the jury clearly was not paying attention to the evidence.

Is he appealing against the conviction or the sentance?

Conviction.

Entertainer Rolf Harris has applied for permission to appeal against his conviction for indecent assaults, a spokesman for the Judicial Office says.

Harris, 84, was jailed in July for five years and nine months for 12 indecent assaults on four girls aged between seven or eight and 19.

The Judicial Office said his lawyers had lodged papers at the Court of Appeal.

A judge will now decide if his appeal bid should progress to a full hearing.

The BBC's home affairs correspondent, Danny Shaw, said it was unlikely that Harris's application for permission to appeal would be dealt with in the next few weeks.

sadly not

The guy is a dirty nonce and is in denial.

indescribable injustice to the children who suffered abuse at the hands of this arrogant and selfish man.

Yes.

Though if this appeal (a) takes place at all, and (b) is successful, then it might reverse the convictions of crimes against children, which is where the evidence seemed lightest -- no evidence that he'd been to Portsmouth at all, and no evidence that he'd been in Cambridge till three years after the crime in question.

That said, there are said to be other allegations the CPS is looking at, and yet more in Australia and New Zealand.

Clearly the man is a sex offender but it is a shame the jurors left their thinking caps off because the weakest convictions serve to cast doubt on the offences where he is clearly guilty.

by the way facts i think he has done things in the past that he should probably in jail for but these charges didnt have enough substance to them..........think he deserved the  sentance for down loading child porn alone

The whole porn thing was a bit iffy -- initial reports of 16,000 child images slowly turned into 16,000 adult images and 30-odd who might or might not have been underage and who were in non-sexual semi-naked poses (whatever that means).

It is not just this case -- in recent years the police and prosecutors seem to have adopted the American tactic of leaking prejudicial material to the media.

what did YOU see when he arrived and left court that fateful day cardiff, did he look an innocent man to you?he didnt to me m8 i"ll tell you that

there was a lot more the poice didnt use

It would seem old men sticking their fingers/hands in little girls arrrrseholes is normal procedure in/for cardiff........

spyker........ive said i think he is probably guilty but a bit of evidence would be nice....times dates places were all proved to be wrong...i would feel better if a person going to prison is convicted on more evidence....as i said before i cant believe a person can be abused by a man ..then have an affair with him.........that was 7 of the 12 charges........she also tried to blackmail him
