I'm sure Judge Jonathan'Early Lunch' Rose - knows what he's doing 
agree it could still be another week with jury deliberations

This is a pure guess but I think he'll be found not guilty on the two denied charges & get a non custodial sentence on the one's he's admitted to.
I would be very surprised if he didn't get at least a short jail sentence..
I think the judge probably already has a inkling of which way this will go. Always said that I think he will rightly be found 'not guilty' of the two offences that he is denying and obviously guilty of the two admitted offences. I'll go with 6-12 months possibly non-custodial. When I say rightly by the way, I don't mean that he has or hasn't committed them [I think he has, but others may disagree], but based on the evidence presented at court, for me they cannot convict as there is too much reasonable doubt to make a conviction 'safe'.
- Court hears how girl told police in February last year she had met with and had a relationship with a professional footballer
- Adam Johnson is then arrested and in a police interview admitted that he kissed her but always denied anything further
- Judge Rose: “Johnson says the girl is a proven liar”
- Prosecution say the guilt of Adam Johnson is “clear” and that the sacked footballer “lied to his girlfriend and the police”
- Jury told to rule out Johnson’s evidence that his former teammate Steven Fletcher had been due to be witness in court
- Judge tells jury: “Whether she was up for it or excited are things that are not relevant”
- A list of eight lies Johnson has told about the allegations were read to the jury but Judge stressed “lies don’t make him guilty”
- Jury reminded on facts of meetings between Johnson and the girl and also reminder about flirtatious messages between the pair
- Judge sums up girl’s initial police interview and recalls what she told the court about attempts to get friends and family to lie to police
- Review of schoolgirl’s evidence read to the jury - see more detail below - along with the effects of social media rumours on the girl
Has anyone seen a pic of her? I know a pic was doing the rounds last year that claimed to be her and it was in fact his lass.
I've seen a couple of pictures of her, mate. She's a little girl in a childs body. It's ****ing sick.
Yep, it hits home what he's been doing when you see her. She really is just a child.
I got the impression that she was 'older' than what she looked. Oh well, maybe he won't get 6 months then. Longer.
I'm not suggesting you're advocating that but I'd be uncomfortable seeing a picture of the lass posted on here tbh.
She was under-age at the time and is still a young lass.
Nooooo. I don't want to see a pic. I was just asking if anyone else had. The views of others is more important for that one.
So did a lot of people, including myself. I think that was down to all the talk of meeting her in a club etc, but it's actually the opposite. No wonder she was telling him she was to young to go drinking, she wouldn't have been able to get in anywhere.
