Rolf Harris' brother

(Rolf Harris -an ageing children's/family entertainer is accused of groping make-up artists in the 80s......)

His brother was in the witness stand and says Rolf didn't do it because he just wouldn't and he (the brother) would have stopped him doing it if it had happened but it just didn't. I only paraphrased a little bit.

Well I'm sold then.

.....oh the brother also denies trying to influence another alleged victim.......

Was the brother part of the show, a part that would have put him in the makeup room every day? Otherwise how could he possibly make the claim.

Egg Zachary.

not as far as I can tell, and if he was, wouldn't he say "I WAS THERE AND IT DID NOT HAPPEN"

Unfortunately there are always many people who consider that to be proof. Also explains why advertising is so effective.

Sure, but on the other hand, if you're this guy's defense lawyer, you have to come up with some character references. Otherwise, it's like, "not even this guy's own family would testify that he was a decent chap."
