Katrine Trolle didn't try to sell her story; the first she told it was in court under oath.DexterTCN said:Better to blame the people trying to make money by selling or publishing the story in the first place, than the one accused who won his day in court. You must be one of those SSP Murdoch lovers.
And I'm neither a member of the SSP, nor a Murdoch lover. What people like you can't get through their heads is that while people might be pleased the NotW was beaten, that doesn't necessarily mean they believe Tommy's version of events. And that the damage Tommy did to others - innocent parties - in beating the NotW was not worth it.
And Tommy was not "the one accused" in court: he was the one who brought the action. The court case need not have happened. And the reason court case has had this fall out is that Tommy's story was a lie. It doesn't matter to me what Tommy does in his private life. But when he doesn't care what effect his denial of the truth has on others, then I'm afraid he loses my respect. This isn't about "beating Murdoch", this is about what happens when you put others who didn't ask for the publicity (and not everyone called as witnesses had sold their stories. And does selling your story negate the truth of it anyway? Tommy sold his) in difficult positions. This is about Tommy putting his own privacy before others' freedom. Perjury can carry a jail sentence, and people in certain jobs (such as OTs) can lose their jobs if convicted. Tommy knew his version of events was false, and he knew those called as witnesses had to be rubbished in order for him to win, and he brazenly stood and rubbished former friends and comrades.
