I met Rolf very superficially in professional circumstances and he always seemed a decent bloke; once in the BBC car park in the 60s where we joked that I had the same little beard that he had. Only fell out slightly when I recorded Dame Edna Everage doing Two Little Girls (named Edna and Madge) and Rolf would not let me release the parody of his song! |

I do not believe Rolf would harm anyone.
I've met him twice..he is an extremely tactile person..on first meeting he gripped my arm but in friendly fashion and listened intently to what I was saying.
His close friends all say the same..he's "touchy feely" but in a super friendly manner.
I noticed this because I am the opposite..I can recoil often but I know it's just me.
I can see others..women perhaps ..who may be like me and slightly uptight and assume any touching is assault.
I recommend everyone wear rubber gloves and a wetsuit these days and upon meeting stand 5 feet away from any new person and just wave. |

Querying the jury's decision is not an allowable ground of appeal, in law. You can only appeal if there is new evidence unavailable at the time of the trial, or if there was a procedural or legal irregularity in the trial.
It's true to say that Rolf hasn't presented grounds of appeal for the other 10 convictions, so in terms of appeal law you're right and Yeksum is wrong. There isn't anything legally wrong with them as it now stands and appeal grounds for some convictions cannot be used to challenge others. .
....which is what I said ....lol! |

Am I also correct in thinking that he can't appeal the other eleven?
YES - because there is absolutely no reason to query the Jury's decision.
I'm a bit confused. If one was seen to be 'dodgy' then the other eleven should also be looked at.
There is not a shred of evidence that there is anything wrong with these convictions.

However...most of the convictions relate to the affair with the friends daughter (who had unsuccessfully tried to blackmail him). The others are Tonya Lee, whose story and behaviour are not credible, the Cambridge accuser who completely changed her story when it was proven to be untrue, and the liar who invented a concert that exhaustive investigation could find no trace of. Plenty of evidence that there's something wrong with those convictions. |
