I fully agree with you - the man's so called 'charm,' is totally irrelevant. I deeply regret taking that headline from the magazine.
However, I still do not agree with the case being brought to trial - on suspect evidence - because no matter how good his legal team may be, if there's a hidden agenda driving all of this - the man won't stand a chance.
I remember the case of Nikolai Tolstoy in which he tried to get to the bottom of the handing over of some 40,000 Cossacks and White Russians, including many women and children that ended in his writing the book,"The Minister and the Massacres.'
His story was of a cover up operation lasting forty years which included the deliberate keeping in ignorance of both Winston Churchill and the British and US governments of the day, the removal or destruction of official government papers; a conscious attempt to place the blame for the massacres on Field Marshal Alexander, and concerted efforts made to avoid the full facts ever coming to light.
Tolstoy had all the evidence, the best legal advice, but no hope of winning. There was a hidden agenda.
I'm sure the same applies to this case of the Perth pensioner.
