The British indie thriller had already sold to several territories before he was cleared of all charges in his U.K. criminal trial, but its sales agent is now having conversations with buyers in the U.S. and U.K.

Sure, that's all true. But the question is how does society treat someone who has been acquitted? Kevin Spacey was one of my favorite actors. I mean Usual Suspects, Se7en, American Beauty, and many more. I won't watch him again though. I think he's a guilty creep. But I also know that I know less than the courts did, and if we are saying innocent until proven guilty, it's kind of hypocritical to behave in a way that could be compared to "The election didn't go my way, so I'm going to attempt a coup". It's an internal conflict about what the written rules of society say and what the unwritten rules of society say. But the unwritten rules of society also are what caused lynchings and witch burnings, so I don't want to trust that. Like I said, I give myself a headache with this shit.
