BBC News - Alex Salmond cleared of all sexual assault charges
Alex Salmond cleared of all sexual assault charges

Well, that surprised me. Lots of different women accusers wasn't it?

Can't say I have been following it too closely, but it seemed a pretty much nailed on conviction I thought. 12 different charges and cleared of the lot.

Seems one of them co- ordinated with the others who subsequently complained.

I think that didn't help the prosecution's case!
His claim was that it was all politically-motivated and exaggerated. But he said outside court that there were a lot of facts, details and evidence which they weren't allowed to use, but which will now be allowed to come out. I suspect he might go for a defamation suit against "Woman A" - she could well be ruined.
I have to say, it doesn't seem like he has got off on a technicality, so as a bloke, i'm glad for the outcome.

Well, yup, if justice is served, it's clearly the best result.

What a waste of time and money though.

not really followed it but heard people saying it was a stitch up. Why would anyone stitch him up? The SNP has carried on in much the same vein under Sturgeon so it's not like they've been derailed.
Not saying it hasn't been a stitch up just don't see the point behind it if it was. .

The implication on the news last night was that Jimmy Krankie was in a power struggle with him at the time, and that she insisted on a full investigation based on the flimsiest accusation. I think the Procurator Fiscal has something to answer for here in taking it to court.

he had consensual sex with two of them - seems pretty shifty to me so it looks like he could have got away with one who knows

It's going to be a long night anyway, so it might as well be an unfunny one.

There is a strong suggestion that Sturgeon and Salmond were at loggerheads and that a series of complaints were discussed before any trial so they could be made to look consistent and credible and that salmond has evidence of this. Many think sturgeon will be in real trouble

It's good that the scales of justice have balanced in his favour
