Ched Evans Rape conviction Quashed - Retrial

[Diddy]

As per heading Ched Evans has had his conviction for rape overturned as unsafe at the court of appeal. He will now face a retrial. Link to full story Here

 

To be fair I always thought this guy had been treated very unfairly. Yes he cheated on his partner, Yes it seems he and his mate had some bird in a sordid game of swaps but I had always thought that a coviction for rape was extreme and also wondered how you could convict one and not the other...Remember the lady in this case can't remember weather she gave consent nor even if she was raped.....The whole trial hinged on Evans and the other guy admitting that they had sex with the girl.....All a bit sad really.

I do wonder if the people who have prevented him from returning to football will look at themselves in the mirror today and think "did I actually have the right to do/say what I did"......Probably not as people don't ever like to admit to being wrong.

She claimed she could not stand and was virtually carried to the room. The only problem with that is

 

CCTV

 

It clearly shows her getting out the taxi and the greedy cow picking up her pizza before walking unaided to the reception then to the room. She's basically gone 2's up and regretted it after and thought , "Hey up, I can get something out of this".

 

I guy I know had a blazer with his missus once. They both got home blind drunk and she kicked off on him and went for him big time clawing biting the lot. He had to restrain her and marked her wrist stopping her but never hit her. She decided to phone the law pissed and claim he had pinned her down and raped her, he was arrested and charged. He was remanded for 9 months, lost his job , home the lot then the CPS at the last minute decided to throw the case out and he was let free no charges.

 

He's had to rebuild his life while the bitch walks the streets. And to make matters worse, she did this to an earlier boyfriend the exact same thing. Like you said Diddy, he did what he did and she knew exactly what she was doing. There's a rumour not sure if it's true but she made some facebook comments after the event which proves their innocence. It kinda says she remembered it all and what they did.

I remember the case well and remember the website they set up to try and clear him and had the cctv footage that proved she wasn't anything like too drunk to consent. Pleased the conviction has been quashed and hope the CPS decide not to retry him but i doubt they will.He's been dragged to hell and back and his career is probably over though which is a shame. I hope he gets the right verdict the second time around.

Im sure goldringers is right as I vaguely remember a big question over what she had posted on both facebook and twitter. Again its all hearsay without the proof out in the open so to speak but the claims were akin to her bigging up the fact of the night before and her friend mentioned a brand new car...all of which was either deleted by her or taken down by facebook and twitter at the request of the police.

What they should do is ,

If the person is found not guilty then the accuser should be made to foot the bill for all legal cost or even given a sentence themselves, It's so easy to do someone over. If they are found not guilty doesn't that mean it was a lie ?.There must be something in place were these type of cases that have evidence to prove the persons innocence should never hit the court room. CPS are under so much pressure they bring cases to court that are utter bollocks

I disagree, when I did jury service I didn't know if the defendants had actually done the crime or not but the evidence was not enough to convict therefore we had to find them not guilty as there had to be no doubt.

 

Don't forget the police don't always find all the evidence and therefore the cps had to make a decision whether to proceed or not.

 

Example:

If Mr A was robbed in the street by Mr B and the police caught Mr B but the evidence was weak and the cps decided to continue anyway but Mr B was found not guilty should Mr A really have to foot the bill and get a sentence themself?

 

I understand the point your making but it's such a grey area that you've gone from one extreme to the other
