Well, it has now decided that they will. <\/p>\n<p>If they had decided not not to press ahead, Harris would have been due to be released in July. He may still be if they are unable to convict him on these counts, but if they do, the coming home party may need to be postponed for a few years.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"inline\">A Depressing Time<\/h2>\n<p>As ever, we will keep you up to date on this case. For me it is a very upsetting one. Rolf Harris was a bit of a legend, and even though he was more a part of the childhood of my artistic friends (I can&#8217;t draw for shit) it still left a bit of a hole in my formative years.<\/p>\n<p>We await the new trial with interest.<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We got a lot of feedback on our Rolf Harris piece from last week.
