monkeygirl Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 Does anyone else find it quite odd that Rolf Harris sung "Jake the Peg" during giving his defence evidence at his trial? Apparently he also did a demo of the sounds of a diggerido. The prosecution must have been delighted as it hardly makes it sound like the actions of someone mortified by the accusations against him.

aliceBB Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 It does seem totally inappropriate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeygirl Posted May 27, 2014 Author Share Posted May 27, 2014 It does seem totally inappropriate. glad it's not just me that thinks that. i understand that he was being asked about his career background but, as you say, to sing etc just seems inappropriate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aliceBB Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 It does though beg the question of how fair a trial celebrities in general can ever have, when the jury start with preconceived ideas about their character, often going back a long time.

monkeygirl Posted May 27, 2014 Author Share Posted May 27, 2014 i think in rolf harris' case he has / had quite a good reputation historically. i think if anything his celebrity personna would be in his favour in this case. however, i think his actions in court, plus the wider known issues of child porn on his computer will count against him. i think the computer stuff shouldn't have been made public until after this trial to make it fairer.

aliceBB Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 That has to be one of the worst things ever recorded in the history of songwriting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
