Ive been on juries for various serious offences. Of course you need to consider the evidence carefully, but use common sense to cut through the bullshit the lawyers spout to muddy the waters, cause confusion, and plead mitigation for hideous crimes.
Lawyers charge an arm and a leg for this stuff because they are usually very good at it. It makes sense to see through it and sift out the facts to reach a verdict.
My slightly glib point was made because this national scandal has been allowed to go on and been covered up, for left wing political reasons and that is utterly disgraceful, from any political leaning.
Many people - including quite a few in high places - should have spent long periods behind bars over this, but very few of them have.
Yet when Tom Watson (nonce finder General) made the most heinous and cruel allegations against public figures, who coincidentally weren't connected to the Labour party, the media hounded the people like animals, until it was found that none of them were guilty, and the accusations came from a crazy fantasist, who was actually a convicted Paedophile.
In earlier times Watson would have had to disappear from public life forever, but he has reinvented himself as a diet guru whose every word the media seem to hang on.
