Ched Evans wins appeal

[Childrenofthestones]

Sorry I can't link but it's on the BBC site.

Zerena, several people were prosecuted for revealing the victim's name. The outcome was just a fine for them, though.

Zerena - if you have any evidence that Chedwyn Evans incited, conspired, aided, abetted or otherwise encouraged others in harassing the complainant, then I'd have thought that the CPS would be most keen to hear of it - they haven't any themselves, chi'n gweld.

The retrial at Cardiff Crown Court has started:

So what's the new evidence that led to the appeal being granted?

The trial is supposed to take about two weeks

I am curious as to the new evidence as well

I think we'll just have to wait until it is presented at the trial. Only day one!

It can take ages for the jurers to even sit down

Oh dear. What a depressing prospect. There's nothing good going to come out of this, is there?

Nope

I am genuinely interested in what the new evidence is, given that so very few cases are referred back like this. I just can't see how the consent evidence - which is surely what the fuck this was all about - can change?

Liney - think the unthinkable.

Oh, go on then, I'll bite, cadnow.

What unthinkable thing should we be thinking? Do tell. Enlighten us.

I cant see how it can change either liney

But it was still his own testimony which got him convicted originally...

What Toads just said

My post at 19:55?

Yes

Liney same here. It seemed pretty clear cut to me previously.

nice unbiased headline from the beeb there

Tbh I thought that would be the most obvious possibility.

But how do you know this cad?

Toads - I don't know, its pure speculation. But what else could it be, other than evidence that she wasn't too drunk to remember. But not long now - she takes the stand tomorrow.

Oh my god...why is this being dragged up again..that poor woman...I'm surprised she's not done something stupid under all this pressure...why can't he be a man about it.accept he did wrong and leave the woman in peace to rebuild her life...he is a scumbag
