No evidence then?
A lot of us were talking about this long before Ched Evans site was up and still saying the conviction was dodgy.
The jury system is not infallible. One strong head and 11 meeks, you end up getting one persons verdict.

If he is cleared on appeal then clearly that would mean that additional or different aspects have come to light since the trial and (obviously) his guilt would be overturned.
At that point he should be considered innocent.
By the same token, he is currently considered guilty.
The law is far from perfect, and is often altogether too black & white - i.e. 'totally guilty vs. completely absolved' - with very few shades in between.
Currently the law says that he is guilty.
Sounds like you think what he did was fine then?Quote:

The victim has had to change her identity 5 times due to death threats too, the whole case has been shocking.

"The complainant had no recollection of anything which took place after 3am. That extended to the fact that she and McDonald entered the hotel at 4.15am".Quote:

Add to that the girl reported to the police she thought she'd been spiked (in a club not by the footballers) and they looked into the case and decided to go to court not after hearing from the girl but hearing the statement from the 2 guys.Quote:

I'm getting seriously annoyed by these 'when I win big ' tweet stories. There is no proof, or even valid reason to believe that these tweets were in any way related to the rape. I have conversations on many euromillions Fridays about what i'd buy for my friends and family if I won. Considering she's on about buying cars and holidays, it seems a bit far fetched to link that directly to a few thousand pounds worth of compo.
I find that Ched evans website to be pretty awful. Some of the lines of attack that they take against the girl are out and out bullying. the bit abut the cocaine has no relation to anything, it's just a cheap shot at the victim.
She's had to change her identity 5 times since the case in fear of her life.
Even if she did tweet that afterwards, surely how vapid she is had no bearing on the case?
Questional behaviour and illegal behaviour are two vastly different things.Quote:

They hadn't been drinking both have said they hadn't.
We know she hadn't been spiked that's a misnomer as were her tweets.
Is going down a fire escape illegal?Quote:

No but it all points to it being very dodgy. I think he's guilty.
If you want to stick up for a convicted rapist who's appeal was also thrown out go for it.
I'd love for the lad to be innocent if he gets another appeal but I don't think he will be.
Thanks mate it's been fun. http://www.ccmb.co.uk/images/smiley_icons/wave.gifQuote:

What a ridiculous message. You could deconstruct most crimes in that way to make them look normalQuote:
