I agree rev. Don't see how he can get a fair trial. Like you say, I agree with LG if it's true. It was like that girl who was murdered a couple years ago just before Christmas. The Sun ran a story laying into the landlord of her flat, basically said he was guilty. I said at the time to my girlfriend it was wrong, and there was something strange about the story. Turned out it was actually her dutch boyfriend.
Was the Dutch neighbour. The boyfriend had nothing to do with it.
Just shows how the media can have you hung before tried. There will always now be doubt in some peoples mind whatever the verdict which I suppose isn't fair. It has come out though that he's been a complete cheat to his wife who was suffering with breast cancer. As someone said though a weak and stupid idiot but maybe not a child rapist. Question is why was he accused and what happens to the accuser and her mother? Perjury? Surely if it was all lies there has to be some outcome of that?
So the girl should be done as well as the family surely?
I'm pretty sure she was granted lifetime immunity as part of the process.
Not for the first time on this site you make a confident assertion that is utter nonsense
Complainants do not need and do not get "lifetime immunity" - something which does not exist anyway
No-one in this country can be convicted for any offence unless a jury is sure that they are guilty. May be guilty, might be guilty, possibly guilty or even probably guilty are not enough. If therefore a complainant in a case that resulted in acquittal was prosecuted for perjury and if their jury thought that there was a possibility that they might be telling the truth then they too would be acquitted. Unless new evidence had come to light to prove that they were lying that would almost always be the case. Besides no-one would ever make a complaint if they thought that they themselves would be prosecuted if there was no conviction
Its the same principle that ensures that convicted defendants are not themselves subsequently prosecuted for perjury if they lose their trial
People really should avoid passing off ill-informed opinion as fact on this and any other thread
