Sorry, I am not buying it.

I have a sinking feeling his celebrity status, will get him a light sentence, or none at all, depending on what he is charged with, and if convicted.

Probably a suspended sentence with community work.

What do you think?
The Bladerunner trial.

I haven't been watching it, just glimpses. Followed it when it happened. Since this is a different country, a different social climate and he is enormously popular there, I tend to agree with you. I think he is guilty. I think he was all drugged up and killed her. The climate there is one of fear for certain residents, particularly the affluent and break ins are much more common then here for certain classes. His defense will use that I am sure.


You asked for our opinion and I personally don't think he will be convicted. but I think he should be. I agree with your summary.


Passion and anger fueled with drugs aren't a good mix. It is a sad shame after he had overcome so much to be such a successful athlete and role model.
