Yup, but he was effectively misled by the BBC who broke their agreement that it was a background interview only intended for note taking purposes. If or when he is fully cleared, I think we can expect a grovelling apology from the BBC and/or a massive compensation claim....He should also state that he was a bit dumb doing that interview but in no way should he be vilified ,after all he is a friend and protector to the pros
The worrying aspect about this 'Americanisation' of crime reporting, is the fact that the Police are increasingly in collusion with the media - all at the expense of real justice and fair trials
The media are increasingly stepping over the line and getting away with publishing material that only a few years ago would have been in contempt of court; not in the name of good journalism or public service, but to whip up a lynch mob mentality with their increasingly dumb audience/readership in the hope of increased ratings/circulation.
