Allegations

Most
sports teams would be happy to have the support acquitted teacher John Edgar
enjoyed during his trial. His
supporters, including his sister, brother and girlfriend, sat through more
than six days of testimony and then waited 14 hours for the jury to reach its
verdicts. Finally
they were able to savour Dr Edgar's acquittal in the dead of night at
Hamilton District Court. They
suppressed their joy as each not guilty verdict was delivered but could not
contain a huge cheer to greet the final verdict. Judge
Lynton Laing did not like it, but they did not care
because they had just heard what they had been hoping for. |
