Not entirely true. You can search out the legal papers online. They "have him" for at least 3 uploads to the Dreamboard site. The only "legal papers" I've seen online are the indictment and the superseding indictment. Perhaps you saw something else, Chuck, like an affidavit with exhibits that document the uploads. But the indictment itself is not evidence; it is just factual allegations by the prosecutors. This is not merely a technical distinction.

I know Bill Barton from our time together at KBCS and from seeing him at numerous live performances in the Seattle area. He has always seemed to be a warm and compassionate person. I am as shocked as anyone at the allegations that have been made against him. It's true, as others have said, that we rarely know anyone so well that we wouldn't be surprised by their secrets. But somehow none of this seems to fit with Bill. Allegations are just allegations, whether they're made in a newspaper article or in a federal indictment. These allegations could be wrong for any number of reasons, so we need to maintain a healthy skepticism. We haven't heard Bill's side of the story. He is innocent unless AND until he is convicted. Someone pointed out that he could be acquitted at a trial because the government hasn't proven guilt beyond a reasonable doubt -- and yet he might still have committed the crimes as charged. That's true in any case. A verdict of "not guilty" does not actually mean "innocent." But we shouldn't get ahead of the game. At this point, we haven't seen any of the evidence against Bill. We should try to keep an open mind -- and, of course, hope that the government is mistaken in this case.
