According to another chambermaid working in the same hotel, all the personnel knew who was occupying the room because, as is standard in all top hotels these days, a VIP photo of him with his name was hung in the personnel changing rooms advising them of his status!!! All very intriguing!!!!</i><br /><br />http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-13450783<br /><br />He has just resigned by the way, not that I would read an awful lot into that, he could be removing himself as a ''threat'' in order to facilitate bail. I don't suppose the prospect of weeks/months in a Yanky jail is terribly appealing.<br /><br />I don't know if you are au fait with the workings of the US judicial system, but just take a look at the charges against the man.<br /><br /><i>They are: committing a criminal sexual act, attempted rape, sexual abuse, unlawful imprisonment and forcible touching.</i><br /><br />This has the effect of two things; burying him forever if convicted or, ''plead guilty to A, and we will drop charges B C and D.''<br /><br />This is why Yanky jails are half full of innocent people.<br /><br /><i>unlawful imprisonment and forcible touching</i> I ask you!<br />At least he wasn't charged with kidnapping, think OJ Simpson here. Let me take a quick look see if I can find what he was actually charged with, I mean wasn't armed robbery enough?<br /><br />Here you go.<br /><br />http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/O._J._Simpson_robbery_case#Charges<br /><br />Justice via the back door.<br /><br /><i>another episode of hysteria by puritanical US institutions</i> Strauss-Kahn, not OJ.Himselfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11666097098083216833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8393578624305189946.post-31477364175536686502011-05-19T07:37:24.708+01:002011-05-19T07:37:24.708+01:00October 20, 2008
