Nobody reads court transcriptions, just as they do not read official reports which are easily obtainable on-line these days. All they can manage, it seems, is the gutter press headline, they rarely even get into the body of text, which often contradicts the headline. I've given up asking friends if they've read the Yewtree report. They just know Savile was a predatory child-abuser, 'cos the newspapers said so, anyway, there's no smoke without fire etc., etc.
I've read a good number of the NHS reports (thanks Moor Larkin/Annaraccoon), and there really is nothing of substance in any of them, but when you tell people, you get "..but there's so many, some must be true....."
I then tell them I used to work for BBC TV, and knew the Savile production team very well (Jim'll fix it and other programs), and that those people have denied anything untoward happened, nor did I hear any rumours at the time - as in "Jim had better watch out, if the New of the World finds out....."
No effect. Your first-hand witness is trumped by the salacious headline every time.
