First of all, we don't know if Harbhajan denied using the "Monkey" word in sydney. So long, no media or none claim such thing. (Ancipating that, I guess Mr Panickar already stated his wife example to justify Harbhajan either ways.)
My point is, it is not upto the player of international stature for 2 decades to decide. No body want to ask Sachin if Harbhajan is innocent or not. That is for the judges to decide.
What you want to hear is a statement from Sachin saying "I was there. Bhajji did not use the "Monkey" word."
Any other statement from Sachin like he is innocent would not help. If Sachin simply says he did not hear Harbhajan say such words, that would be construed as he didn't pay proper attention to the conversation. He is not a good witness in that case and he shouldn't have been there in that trial.

Why the other party need proof when you don't deny the allegations made against you?

What Mr. Onlooker "don't" understand :-), Legal process is decided by principle of natural justice, where whether an evidence is reliable DOES come into play. So Sachin's stature is valid and must be considered from not just a moral, but a legal perspective. Don't understand you nimwit? Ask a good lawyer, he will explain WHY it is to you.

Mr.Onlooker.. you sound like an atheist how keeps asking where is god even when hehas no control on his own doings. Are you really a fool hardy. If Prem does not have any reason to belive Bhajji called andrew 'MONKEY' what proof you have to claim it happened ? Just to refresh your fading memory ' Innocent until proven guilty' that is what your masters have also belived in. If Sachin's wondrs are not to be counted then whyshould anyone else be. On second thoughts you might never understand this sine you would not have an ability to reason correctly.

Mr sals, please look at my other posts for how they deal with word against word case. Or ask an attorney if you knew one.
