Think the clue is in the 'new' to be honest, Astute.:D Does what it says on the tin.

That is ridiculous though. Unless there is concrete, substantial evidence, the appeal process shouldn't keep going on like this. The victim needs to know justice was done and put it all behind them. Yes, there are some wrongful convictions, but I just wonder how many people appeal just to get...

It's a very sad stat, Stu.

Yeah, but what has that got to do with Lionel Messi invading the Falkland Isles?

It's not a theory. Read through all the threads of the past 5 years. Happens regularly on a daily basis. That's exactly what does happen.

Best thing that can happen now I would say is that the CCRC view the fresh 'evidence' they are considering at the moment and hopefully dismiss it, to finally put an end to this tawdry saga.

Well, the way it works is that she has to convince the police that she was raped. Once she has done that, there should be little onus on her at all (other than having to appear in court) and all the onus should then only be on the defendant and the prosecution attempting to make the charge stick...

Because we might sign him. Have you not been paying attention? :D

To be fair to Nick, this started off as a 'might be signing Ched Evans' thread. It has now moved on to the degree of obnoxiousness of the guy. Does Nick move it? What if someone then posts another post about a further rumour of him signing for us? Does Nick then move it back again? With all the...

The latter I would guess. How on earth she has stood by him is beyond me. Even if he was found not guilty of rape, he is definitely guilty of behaving like an arrogant shit.

No we shouldn't. To my mind the only case he could have is if he could prove that she consented and she was happy bagging two footballers for the night.

Agree. Sounds like a lot of this new 'evidence' is witness statements. That does seem to hold much credence I would have thought. People do lie on behalf of others. He certainly needs something a bit more concrete, unless these witnesses are police officers, or people from the victim's side...

Agree with this too, but if someone found guilty does have further evidence, not heard in court, then he has a right to appeal. Hope this doesn't involve the victim back in court, but justice must be seen to be done. As it stands, justice was done and Evans rightly convicted. If he has new...

Totally agree with that.

To be fair, NW is usually a top, top poster.

'Ched Evans has successfully applied to have previously unavailable evidence examined by the Criminal Cases Review Commission.' I do believe he is allowed to do that and the CCRC have quite rightly decided to look at the previously unavailable evidence. Besides, if Hitler had been alive and...

Stupot, has anyone, anywhere on here said the verdict was wrong? Anyone at all?

It is indeed. How can you turn up for a day at a funfair and end up losing limbs? Is it speed and danger and profit over safety?

I don't know what her view is.

So, what is your point? It just seems I am not allowed to say some people who followed the case say there is cause for the conviction to be declared unsafe. I'm pretty sure it isn't just about what constitutes rape either by all accounts.
