My thoughts on this are very simplistic-the original verdict has been deemed unsafe and therefore has raised an element of doubt.I found it strange that they ordered a re-trial on that basis but if I were a juror now whilst I would listen to the evidence that thought would be in the back of my mind as the Judges clearly thought there was doubt.
On that basis I think it would be odd if he is now found guilty-if he is surely the first thing he will do is appeal.
A good post this.

I have never met Ched Evans, however a friend of mine knows him quite well as a result of investigating his case to provide evidence to the court of appeal. He said that he is actually a really nice bloke who admits that morally he made a mistake, probably as a result of all of the attention he was getting as a young footballer, but is in no way a rapist.

He also said that he believes that Ched Evans is not a serial adulterer in the same way that John Terry allegedly is and that this an isolated instance.
