Found this classic SNL Sketch from October 1982, filmed 4 days after Mr D was arrested.

blimey Stu, where do you find this stuff?

The content was pretty rubbishy anyway. ( i'm not criticising you Stu......well spotted)

Just shows how a man can be a Hero one minute and a target for derision the next, as viewed by the media anyway..... The fact that he was eventually found not guilty, because he had been set up by the FBI makes it all the more poignant.

Of course we have our own "Pleb-Gate" saga running at the moment....... some similarities, certain law enforcement authorities apparently trying to destroy the reputation of a well know public figure.
