Lawyer in 'my client didn't do it' shocker: Le Thanh Kinh says the Gary Glitter is innocent and that the allegations before him are "just hearsay".
Thanh Kinh, managing partner at Le Nguyen Law Office in Ho Chi Minh City, also says he will have Glitter (real name Paul Gadd) free before his current period of detention expires on Monday.
Thanh Kinh said:
"All the evidence now is just hearsay. What newspapers reported is just hearsay but there have not been any medical certificates to prove there was child sex abuse and how it was conducted. Hearsay is not considered to be proof in court."
As you all know, Glitter/Gadd has allegedly been up to no good with an underage, and such activities in Vietnam do not often go unpunished: he could still face the death penalty. Domestic press has covered the case closely, and interviews with up to ten other girls have revealed that the former glam-rocker may have paid girls to have sex with him.
What the fuck...
Have hearsay got to do with this?
They split up ages ago.
It's
Vietnam and not Thailand
Bol
locks.
what's silly is
that I know perfectly well where Ho Chi Minh City (it's day job related, don't ask) is and I STILL wrote the wrong country down.
Ho hum.
I think
that he means 'hearsay' as in things that have merely been heard and said.
You can tell it's not Hear'say the band because they haven't used the fucking ridiculous, spectacularly irritating comma.
Please
Tell me lynnabeth's reply wasn't ironic
If it wasn't, it's the best post I've read in a looooong while
I don't
even know what irony is. Everything I say is done so with sincerety in it's most pure and unbastardised form.
:D
Hahaha.
Why wasn't this article entitled...
...all that Glitters is not guilty?
gary glitter
The death penalty may be a blessing,the prison conditions he could face are worse than your worst nightmares.

on a slightly tangential note, whenever anyone mentions the 'nam these days automatically think of twickenham. how colloquial is that.

Just look at the picture!
Could you have chosen a picture of him which more blatantly spells out guilty.
He looks like a leering cartoon paedo (is that how its spelt?.
Too right
Is it wrong to find it funny that he's facing a firing squad?
A girl says to her dad..
daddy, daddy! do they celebrate christmas in vietnam?
the father turns and says "of course they do, theyre hanging up glitter this year.
Whoever drew those sideburns on...
...Is the same person who did the Aha video for Take On Me.
Is it wrong?
In reply to your question, kickupthefire, hell fucking no, it's not wrong to laugh. I laughed wholeheartedly. I watched with glee as a friend burned a Gary Glitter vinyl recently.
