I'd be interested to see the result of straw polls conducted as the jury retuires versus the actual verdict given down. I'd imagine there are many cases where jurors leave the court thinking one way, and subsequently agree with the unanimous verdict going the other way. Undoubtedly the skill of each juror in both putting across their points and convincing the others they're right has a part to play in that, and you just better hope if you're on trial, that the best orators and debaters on the jury leave the court thinking you're innocent.

12 guilty counts, more revelations in the UK and Australia - I can certainly tell what it is - it's clearly a horrible old pervert who should rot in jail.

At his age I really don't see the point in prison. An Open prison -- which it seems possible he would get --- or at most a Category C prison would cost the taxpayers around 160 to 200 thousand pounds over 8 years. It would be better to fine him a few million and donate it to a sexual abuse organisation. As for those saying where is the punishment? I think losing your whole life achievement and all the official accolades you have had. Being disowned by your hometown and country and becoming a social pariah wherever you go -- and having the music and art you created ignored -- would be more than enough punishment.
