I’m ashamed to confess that I missed this post from Jonathan until today.
I would have liked to have been able to express genuine shock and disbelief but, alas, given the psychosis surrounding alleged sex offences that has infected our entire judicial and law enforcement apparatus, I can’t truthfully lay claim to either sentiment.
I am, though, utterly sickened by it and I viscerally despise it. Neither of which, of course, is of much use to Mr King.
I often wonder what historians of the future will make of this unhinged and inexhaustibly cruel mania for victim idolatry, accusation and the presumption of guilt that has been madly erupting from within a culture founded on liberty, the rule of law and the presumption of innocence.
I can only hope and pray that wisdom, reason and truth will prevail in that courtroom in June. I fully appreciate that it’s of little to no consolation, JK, but you’re now very much in my thoughts and prayers (admittedly, a weirdly anomalous practice for an increasingly doubting and less certain atheist). I hope that you somehow find the strength to bear the terrible strain this has to be placing on you. And I hope, above all (if somewhat plangently), that sanity, reason and the intelligent evaluation of the credibility of the evidence permeates that courtroom.
What so many people don’t appear to appreciate in their outrage and revulsion over alleged offences of this sort is that if it can happen to JK, it can happen to them, or their loved ones.
I love your necessarily stubborn faith in hope, JK, and I can only wish you not simply good fortune, but a genuine encounter with wisdom, reason and justice on the part of those charged with judging you in the ordeal ahead.
Bon courage!
