Astute, surely you've been on here long enough to know when someone is yanking your chain?

Tight Lines! :)

George Best. Trumped!

No. It was to wind the likes of you up. How did he do?

Haha! Train now arriving at WUMsville central.

If he's never heard of the player he has no business being in the job!

Yeah a forum is no place for speculation!

I agree it would not be ideal for the practical reasons you mention. Your second point I agree with entirely. My only worry would be that he remained 'guilty' and was treated as a guilty man, how ever much of a shit he may be.

Or the my-house massive!

Its good to hear that an innocent man could live his life free of persecution and with no label following him... Do your 'own opinions' exclude him from playing for a particular football club?

Ooooh nice warm thread.

As I say, I take your point. But interpretation of the law should be left to lawyers. You seemed to suggest earlier that should those lawyers not find in the way you find agreeable then there is room for your own verdict. We are not armed with all the nuances and detail of the case and yet it...

Talking of the acceptance of guilt and of people with the sir name Evans... I wonder if Timothy Evans, convicted of murder and again on appeal, accepted his guilt just before they hung him for a crime he didn't commit? Although I do take your point.

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.

Yes. We were hypothesising about a successful appeal .

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?
