Another trial, rubbish journalism

Forty-two year old Max Sica, convicted murderer, will stand trial in November charged with
The 42-year-old is charged with two counts of rape, eight counts of carnal knowledge, and nine of indecent treatment and maintaining a relationship with an underage girl between 2004 and 2008.
and this rubbish piece of writing, aren't there any editors at the Brisbane Times?
Sica has pleaded not guilty to those charges, and was committed to stand trial last year, but it was delayed so he could first be trialled over the murders of his ex-girlfriend Neelma Singh and her siblings Kunal and Sidhi.
"trialled" What?
and, so that you're up to speed with Mr Sica:
Sica is currently serving three life sentences, with a non-parole period of 35 years, for the murders of the Singh siblings in their north Brisbane home in 2003.

Roman Polanski, I think...

Unlike some celebrities and others who think that Polanski is an old man, the rape occurred many years ago (so he shouldn't be pursued?),.... I think he should go to gaol. I don't care that he's "an old man", that is not a reason to allow a criminal to go free without retribution.

Polanski seems to have managed to live his life oblivious to the fact that he's harmed a thirteen year old, and has broken the law and been convicted of a crime. All his celeb buddies seem to be rushing to defend him from those who want him to be punished and those who label him a rapist.
Polanski has made movies and travelled the world, nothing ever happened to him as punishment for committing his crime.

From this site as of now, here's an alphabetical list of supporters of Polanski:

The petition in part states:
“We demand the immediate release of Roman Polanski,” urges the petition. “Film-makers in France, in Europe, in the United States and around the world are dismayed by this decision… It seems inadmissible to them that an international cultural event, paying homage to one of the greatest contemporary film-makers, is used by police to apprehend him.”
Rather similar to the cloth brained actors and celebrities who supported the naked kiddie photographer/artist/exploiter/sexualiser here in Australia.
