Veitch back on TV

The HoS report that Tony Veitch will be back on TV shortly – on Murray Deaker’s show on Sky.

If the trial was in the near future, I would disapprove. In an ideal world it would be better for the assault allegations to have been resolved, before decisions are made on appropriateness of broadcasting roles.

But with the trial unlikely until the end of 2010, that is far too long a period to expect someone to be out of work. So I can understand the decision. It is of course not without risks, especially if Veitch is convicted. But that is for a jury to decide.
