Giggs is a slimeball. That Class of ‘92 lot are all thick as thieves. Regardless of the outcome of the trial/s, people will definitely look at Giggs’ past behaviour and go ‘yeah, that **** is definitely capable of chinning a woman’.
Wasnt his father a dodgy one? That's why Giggs took his mams maiden name, allegedly. The apple never falls far from the tree.
Former Manchester United footballer Ryan Giggs is to face a retrial over allegations he assaulted his ex-girlfriend, a judge has ruled. The judge set a new trial date of 31 July next year at a short hearing on Wednesday at Manchester Crown Court. Jurors had failed to reach verdicts following more than 20 hours of deliberations in his four-week trial. Mr Giggs, 48, also denied controlling or coercive behaviour towards his ex-girlfriend Kate Greville, 38. He also denied "losing control" and headbutting her and assaulting Ms Greville's sister, Emma, 26, by elbowing her in the jaw during a row at his home in Worsley, Greater Manchester on 1 November 2020. Giggs will now go on trial for a second time, after the jury in the first trial was discharged last week, facing the same charges. In a statement issued following the decision, Mr Giggs said he was "obviously disappointed that a retrial has been ordered". "My not guilty plea remains in relation to all charges. I am confident that justice will eventually be done and my name will be cleared of all the allegations," said Mr Giggs, who was not required to attend the hearing. "I would like to thank my legal team, my mum, my children, my girlfriend Zara, as well as my closest friends, for their support throughout this period. "I understand the level of interest and the scrutiny around this case, but I would like to ask that my and my family's privacy is respected in the weeks and months ahead."
Former Manchester United footballer and ex-Wales manager Ryan Giggs has been cleared of allegations he assaulted his ex-girlfriend and her sister. It comes after charges were withdrawn by the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) at a hearing at Manchester Crown Court. Mr Giggs, 48, denied assault and controlling or coercive behaviour towards Kate Greville, 38, and assaulting her sister Emma. Judge Hilary Manley directed that he was not guilty on all three counts.
Prosecutor Peter Wright KC told Manchester Crown Court that the CPS were not now proceeding with the case. He said Kate Greville had "indicated an unwillingness" to give evidence in a retrial as giving evidence in the first one had "taken its toll" on her and her sister. Ryan Giggs did not attend the hearing at Manchester Crown Court Mr Wright said: "This is not a decision taken lightly. "In this case, Ms Greville and her sister Emma gave evidence over a number of days in a case when there was considerable media and public interest, and it is that particularly that's taken its toll on them, in particular Kate Greville." Mr Wright said there had been "protracted" efforts to find out why she was unwilling to co-operate with a second trial but prosecuting lawyers did not think it appropriate to issue a witness summons to compel her to give evidence for a second time. He said there was no realistic prospect of conviction on count one of coercive and controlling behaviour, and it was no longer in the public interest to proceed to prosecute on the other charges of assault on Ms Greville and her sister. He added: "That being the case, we formally offer no evidence on counts one, two and three". https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-66230391 Hmmmm
We have someone hosting Sportstalk on a Monday night on RH who chinned a woman in a bar and was chased by the police as he made off in his car. His solicitor said he drove off because of his celebrity. His car was that car of choice for celebrities, a Fiat Panda.
No I don't know who hosts Sportstalk on a Monday night and I'm curious to know who it is you're referring to, that's it. No interest in any argument thanks.
