Title: One in the Eye for Trial By Media one For REAL Justice
Post by: ooseven on July 31, 2003, 02:07:21 AM

Ha… nice to see that REAL Justice prevailed in the end, I always felt sorry for him seeing that he was judged and sentenced by the media (papers and TV) long before any real evidence was collected.

Leslie sex charges dropped
Prosecutors have dropped two indecent assault charges against television presenter John Leslie.
The former host of ITV\'s This Morning programme appeared at Southwark Crown Court in London over charges of attacking the same woman twice between 25 May and 28 May 1997.
But prosecutor Richard Horwell said no further action would be taken against him, offering no evidence and saying the prosecution had "come into possession of further material that has led to the charges against the defendant being reviewed".
On the steps of the court with his voice cracking with emotion, Mr Leslie said he had his family "had been to hell and back", but he had always believed he would be cleared.
Shaking and initially speechless, Mr Leslie said: "What can I say? I am an innocent man.
"I have maintained my innocence throughout and today it\'s been justified.
"The last 10 months my family and I have been taken to hell and back although we always believed that justice would prevail and the truth would out."

I remember when this kicked off. Me and a friend had been travelling around France, Belgium etc for a couple of weeks without really paying attention to the news, apart from Nice where we saw that business news twat and nothing else.

Anyway, we were wandering along a street in Amsterdam when a random news company decided to send us a text message "John Leslie named in Ulrika rape storm", we were completely stunned, wondering what the hell had happened to the UK since we left!

I\'m glad he\'s got off, it seems that as soon as the media get something into their heads nowadays it becomes real. Too many people are getting screwed by kiss and tell bullshit and badly written books by c-list money whore celebs.
