So, the athlete, and everyone else, knew exactly what he was being accused of?

>In Norway last year we had a case where a very well known athlete was accused of being involved in a series of crimes. The crimes included bank robberies and the theft of the world famous The Scream painting by Edward Munch, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Scream. When he was arrested, all kind of people protested and told the police that they were crazy and so on. His father wrote a long letter in all the big newspapers where he said that he had known his son for almost fifty years, and there was no way his son would even kill a fly. But after a few weeks this athlete confessed that he had in deed done everything he was accused for. This "innocent" person now serves 16 years in jail.

>A few years ago I didn't find my camera and was absolutely sure that it was stolen. I knew exactly where I had put it, and since I saw no signs of any burglary, I asked everyone in my nearest family who had borrowed it, and where it was. Nobody "confessed", and I got more and more angry since it was an expensive camera. A week later I got a call from a camera repair shop which told me that they had it, and that I could pick it up since it had been repaired. A close friend of mine had borrowed the camera for his vacation, and had broken it. I had completely forgotten that he had asked me to borrow the camera many months earlier, and clearly he had taken it with him after a "wet" party in my house some weeks earlier.

>Am I telling this story because I believe KG is lying? Absolutely not. Am I suggesting that MF is lying? Absolutely not. All I am saying is that the truth often is quite different than what it looks like, what you hear and what you believe. I have learnt the hard way that without knowing ALL the facts, no conclusion can be made.
