I do not know him, only as per media coverage, so would neither like nor dislike him if found not guilty. As far as playing for BHA if not guilty and CH and his team think he would benefit us I would accept their judgement. Prior to this case he isnt somebody I had paid much attention to...
My hope is that the truth comes out and this Ched Evans saga can be put to bed finally. If found guilty again put him back in side if not let him resume his career at the best available level.
Extract from the Guidance of Law as highlighted by Drew.in post no 2473 and is contained in the opening paragraphs
The Legal Guidance does not create any rights enforceable at law, in any legal proceedings.
This would indicate that this is a guide to judges not obligatory and the 1 sentence...
The punishment is the same Life Imprisonment. The suggestions made by the judge as to the length of life is one that the Home Secretary can accept or reject. Hasnt the EU said that such recommendations are illegal and we have been brought to task over them.

Yes I fully accept that but an appeal will only be granted if those responsible consider he has sufficient grounds to suggest a miscarriage of justice. As I have said all along if they decide no appeal then forget the whole thing. I would think that if an appeal is granted he will be...
Did you ever go to school and learn to read. I said the decision on allowing an appeal is due within a couple of weeks IF IT WAS GRANTED allow him to train that would be in some 7 weeks time which time an appeal if it was going to be held would be on the system.
I fully understand what you are saying but IF an appeal is granted and successful he becomes the same and as guilty as the family man sitting next to you. As I have said if he failed just scrub it and surely our principles would have been shown to be of the highest order, conviction no...
To me all crimes that are punished in the same manner are equal. I can never understand the people who say that the death penalty should be be brought back for the murder of certain groups of people. To my way of thinking all murders are equal, a life was taken. We as people are saying...
