Namur: People don't have to prove their innocence, Wec. It's the other way around. And i can think of a million reasons why an innocent man would still take a deal instead of a trial.
Weclock: I'd have gone to trial and then sued for all my money back. Seriously..
And spent even more money on lawsuits and lawyers? Tie up even more people's time for the various trials in civil court that this would entail? Not to mention the fact that just filing the suit in the first place would give people who were looking for any excuse to condemn him even more ammunition to work with? "Hey, look, he's rich as all hell, but he's still wasting taxpayer time and money to get back some of the gobs of money he had to throw away defending himself on those child molestation accusations. What a jackass!"
Damned if you do, damned if you don't, eh?
I was never a particularly strong supporter of the man. Hell, he very well could've been guilty of what he was accused of, I really don't know, and I never really made it a point to form an opinion, but the man -is- dead, and pissing on him immediately after he died kind of galls me a little.
