Spineless for ITV to be making these Jimmy Saville allegations after he's dead. Presumably evidence wasn't strong enough when he was alive.
@bohemiangirl That's a low blow. I'm not defending paedophiles. I'm defending a right to a fair trial, not trial by media after you're dead.

@bazzacollins And issue of 'trial by media' which happens often a separate one to the import of this set of events or allegations I think. -
@bohemiangirl The women are absolutely entitled to have their allegations heard and investigated, but by police, not ITV. -
@bazzacollins You cannot bring a complaint against a dead person. So this is the only right they have. Public airing. -
@bohemiangirl But they did take the complaints to the police, when he was alive (http://ow.ly/e888g ). CPS found "insufficient evidence". -
@bazzacollins reassessed based on new evidence. ITV trial yadda yadda yadda. I think you are protecting a monster. Rethink. Try compassion -
@bohemiangirl What I object to is the assumption of guilt. You, nor I, have no idea if he's guilty, yet to label him "a monster".

@bazzacollins I didn't make any intimation that you were, there is no need to defend him as he is dead, as I said he got away with it. -
@bohemiangirl "Got away with it" implies guilt, based on nothing more than allegations being made in a TV programme.

@bazzacollins The issue is about the children who he harmed, burying it, saying you cannot say things because he is dead is terrible.,Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
