What they say on Dutch television is that in American courts the truth doesn't matter.

If he gets convicted it's because the media painted him as such and if he goes free it's because he's got the money to hire the best laywers there are.

Nah, if anything that's worse in France.  They're upset we even bothered to arrest him for it.  One of his defenders actually said "It's not like anybody died in there."

If he goes free, it's because it's easy to get away with rape... everywhere.  Though the expensive lawyers will help.

"Being found guilty in the media."  Most celebrities who are found guilty in the media actually still get off.

Look at OJ... you do need some above and beyond evidence for rich people... however at least we try and get justice.

Not really the part that he is arrested;..It was the image of someone like him in handcuffs that bothered people... It has the same feeling like arresting a dictator like Saddam..

And what for justice will it be?  Pay one million bucks and walk out of the country?

You don't think all accused criminals should get treated the same way?

That's the defining point of the US system.  At least trying to have equity no matter who you are.

I think all accussed criminals should get treated the same way.. Just pointing out that the arrest itself was not bothering people in France;.
