As all the accusations fly around Kevin Spacey, which of course, if true, are awful.
I noticed in his statement to the press, he doubled down with his John Locke defence.
1. From Locke- you cannot be held account if there is no continuity of memory.
'From Spacey- it was 30 years ago, i have no memory of the incident'
2. From Locke- you cannot be resposible if you are ' beside yourself', there is no pyscological continuity.
From Spacey-' as well as not remembering it, i was probably drunk at the time'
So Spacey has doubled down his Locke defence of his alleged crimes.
I am not sure an 18th century philosophical defence counts in 21st courts though...
