I agree. And if you look back at my posts on previous Evans threads you will see how I regard the man. I play devil's advocate because its an important subject and can easily end up with mobs and pitchforks.

You believe the collective view on conviction but not on appeal?

Accept his guilt whether actually guilty or not? Would you?

No... But the law is designed that way to protect the innocent.

So do I, do you not trust them to find it unsafe? Grendel refuses to get controversial? I will alert the press.

She would remain a victim in the sense that she has suffered but not, legally, a victim of Ched Evans. Are we saying that guilty is always guilty but innocent could still be guilty? Therin lies the lynchmob mentality. Do you trust the law or don't you? Or only when it suits?
