walshie 2,804 Posted September 10, 2013 Report Share Posted September 10, 2013 Just heard that on the radio. Doesn't seem right to me, but then the jury hears more facts than we do. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

delswal 3,819 Posted September 10, 2013 Report Share Posted September 10, 2013 finger pointing by our media does prove guilt , for a fair trial for all, its about time the media wound they fcuking necks until the case is over , innocent men and women have been imprisoned , and guilty have walked free thanks to the input for our media , far to much influence is generated from our media 7 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

He's been found not guilty so does this mean he can now sue the folk who tried to end this guys career. Will anyone look at him in the same light...will he keep his job. I'd spend every penny i had making sure the folk with there accusations stood trail....if they are proved to be telling lies then i'd want them imprisoned for a lengthy time. 11 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
walshie 2,804 Posted September 10, 2013 Report Share Posted September 10, 2013 Corrie are said to be "looking forward" to writing him back in the script. He's been out for 7 months - that's a lot of money to lose apart from the worry over all of this I hope the lying tramp who made up these stories goes to jail. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Frann 882 Posted September 10, 2013 Report Share Posted September 10, 2013 I agree with some of the comments on news sites, he should have been tried anonymously. You just know this is going stick with some people, even though he's been found not guilty. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Blackbriar 8,569 Posted September 10, 2013 Report Share Posted September 10, 2013 The fact he's been found not guilty doesn't necessarily mean the girl was lying. It simply means his guilt couldn't be proved beyond a reasonable doubt. The conviction rate is rape cases is extremely low, due in large part to the nature of the offence - one person's word against another, and rarely if ever any witnesses. It's an offence that nearly always comes down to who the jury believe the most - guilty men sometimes 'get off' ! However, I'm not saying that's happened here -the Law has spoken and that's an end of the matter, as far as I'm concerned. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You just know this is going stick with some people, even though he's been found not guilty. I should think he's so made up at the moment he can't think of anything other than being a free man. Once it's sunk in, lets hope he sues the girl and anyone else who was in on it. I'm sure this isn't an isolated case of someone trying to get some money out of a celebrity. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

pip1968 2,490 Posted September 10, 2013 Report Share Posted September 10, 2013 it should have been kept from the public till the case was over,but the way some people are he and his family are in for a hard time for years to come getting abuse i for one feel sorry for them Quote Link to post Share on other sites
walshie 2,804 Posted September 10, 2013 Report Share Posted September 10, 2013 And I just heard that the verdict was unanimous on all 13 counts. If there had been anything iffy there, I'm sure it would have just been a majority. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I heard a stat on the radio that there are 95'000 cases of rape reported in the UK last year......95'000......WOW!!! Thats f***ing mind blowing. Now i'm all for shooting a guy that forces himself on a woman and rapes them. I'm also for shooting these silly cows that make things up for whatever reason....whether it be money or worrying there husband finds out they've been a little trollop. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
