Of course not , but i don’t know if her motive was genuine or bad. A load of blokes slagging off women isn’t right though.
So, despite there being a full court case with a jury, days of evidence from both sides and a not guilty verdict ... ... you're saying he may be guilty. Seriously wtf. The only women I'm slagging off are those who wrongly accuse men of a serious crime, I'm happy with that.
I sat on two rape trials when I did jury duty last year, neither should have got to court and both we unanimous not guilty verdicts. There's no excuse for rape, but there's no excuse for false accusations of rape either. It's a career and sometimes life ending accusation.
I’m saying that her intentions may not have been based on malice, I trust the judgement and feel for him going through a tough process. I just personally don’t think a bunch of lads on a board making judgments over a complex offence is a good look but I’ll say no more
He was found not guilty, it's the jury making judgements ... we're commenting on the judgement. And if we're all supposed to be so considerate perhaps you should consider changing your highly offensive username.
I think the best thing that can happen is this thread gets locked. There are 2 people that know what happened. One of them accused the other of wrongdoing, but it wasn't proven in court. End of story
It was proven that he wasn't guilty, that's what matters. 'The jury of nine women and three men took less than an hour to deliver not guilty verdicts on both counts.'
That's what I said. He wasn't found guilty. He doesn't need to prove his innocence, the accuser/prosecution have to prove his guilt. When guilt cannot be proven (beyond reasonable doubt) then a not guilty verdict is returned. It's semantics, but he wasn't proven not to be guilty, they couldn't prove he was guilty.
Jury took 7 minutes to deliver they're verdict according to Look Newcastle this morning.. Says it all really.
