what do you think of the oscar wilde trial?

guilty or innocent?
Well take a step back. Oscar Wilde himself started the ball rolling by issuing proceedings for libel. He lost and was then prosecuted. He was certainly guilty by the legal standard of those time but he was cruelly punished. The boyfriend by contrast who was an aristocrat remained undamaged and a free man.
