A lot of the comments in this thread seem to be made by young nerds with no common sense, street smarts, or understanding of the world.

I am sure Slim had been robbed in his younger days as a gambler. However, in the situation he was in, he probably felt safer getting out of there then giving the guy money. "You got to know when to walk away, know when to run."

As for the child molestation, he is probably guilty because that kind of thing goes on a lot more than is prosecuted. Even if family members had ulterior motives for pursuing charges, it doesn't mean he didn't do it. Also, my understanding is he has a bad reputation as an angle shooter and so on.

As for his pleading guilty to a lesser charge meaning he is guilty, this is not always true. A lot of people would plead guilty getting probation rather than risking jail time as a child molestor. A very small percentage of criminal cases go to trial. This is also true of civil cases, which are usually settled.
