Is there a conviction or guilty plea on record somewhere?  So far as I can tell, the only crime he&#x27;s ever even been charged with was smuggling weed in 1970 (he pled guilty).  The article referenced by this piece cites nothing but third-hand (from TMZ, no less) quotes from a divorce filing.  As anyone knows, those can and usually do contain pretty much anything the person filing it wants to say, with no obligation to prove any of it to even the low standard required in civil proceedings much less the reasonable doubt standard required under criminal law.<p>If not, then I am sure you yourself must have witnessed a crime or have other direct evidence of a crime committed by Mr. Murray, in which case I would urge you to file a report with the police department at once.  Those are the only two circumstances under which it&#x27;s acceptable to call someone a criminal, whether it&#x27;s a popular figure like Bill Murray or a hated rascal like Sanford Wallace.  Otherwise you&#x27;re engaged in that most sickening and disgraceful act: repeating slanderous innuendo in the hope that people will eventually accept it as axiomatic truth.<p>Personally, I don&#x27;t know whether Mr. Murray beats women, and I don&#x27;t really care about the man one way or another.  But I am disgusted by the practice of accusing men of &quot;domestic abuse&quot; in the press and repeating those accusations anywhere and everywhere (except, of course, under oath in a courtroom) in service to some misguided pseudo-feminist agenda.  If a man beats his wife, he belongs in prison, and if you have evidence of that, it&#x27;s your obligation as a citizen to help put him there.  Otherwise, knock off the slander already.
