Apologies, El Pres. Guilty too.
Like Ben's Grandad thread, it makes things a lot worse.

Very interesting read (nothing libellous or defamatory - Just a straight forward explanation of how the verdict was reached):

Ben set me one up ages ago but I have no wish to use it.
Probably for the best.
Same thing in English law, I believe. Scottish law has a "not proven" (though I'm happy to be proven "not right").
Bozza is the "publisher" of this website and is liable for any libel, if anyone posts any.

Nothing at all.
What I meant is that when malicious posts get highlighted it gives attention to the idiots that post them.
Hope you and all your family are well, BG.

That explains it and they are all well thanks.
A well balanced summary here

You can't be found innocent in an English court.

I've wanted to post on this case from the start but have resisted from doing so, but I suspect it will be debated by legal students for years.
The fall out is horrendous. The complete nonsense being posted on Twitter is remarkable from both "sides".
This is a really odd case, which I wish those with an opinion would realise. No one for instance has appeared to have lied.
Some of the press coverage is remarkable. There isn't points to made about football, consent, precedents etc..
Unfortunately I think it's the press coverage (and social media) on both sides making it more likely that people don't report rape rather than the case itself.
We have a good justice system but quite rarely something hugely unfortunate and damaging happens to those on both sides. Nothing to score points or make a point about.
Sorry for everything involved. Hope they can get on with their lives.

There are the makings of a cautionary presentation to all young men and women from this case. It might start by saying "make sure you have at least spoken to each other first". Old fashioned, I know.

Brighton get a mention in this Telegraph opinion piece on the case tonight. I bet Huddersfield are having a word with their midfielder who deserves the nickname "pencil" now for the rest of his life. Unbelievable stupidity despite the reversed conviction:

How sure are you? If it was the same with Twitter, the owners would be in jail - they must get around it somehow.
"10. What does this whole affair say about our society?
Christ knows. Nothing good"
I'm sure there are plenty of people in orgies and the like that don't have a nice chat first. I don't really know what people can learn from this case. Sadly one thing I'd advise, is don't tell the police anything without your lawyer.

It says nothing.
It's just what happened between a few people.
What it means just fills the press who are obsessed with human interest stories. Journalists struggle with telling stories that affect thousands, unless they have an angle on an individual.
This has lead them to write stories on individuals and then try and relate them as meaning to thousands to fill paper.
