Re: Footballer jailed 5 years for Rape

It is OK, I can see that you have backed down from saying that it was the Appeal Court who ruled that the evidence was relevant. (Of course your ego is too huge to allow you to admit it.) What you have not understood is that the jury could have decided the new evidence is irrelevant. They did not, ...

Re: Footballer jailed 5 years for Rape

:lol: :lol: :lol: The CCRC ruled the evidence was relevant enough for it to be referred to the Appeal Court and based on that evidence, which was the grounds for appeal, the Appeal Court quashed the conviction, and then based on that evidence the retrial acquitted the man. But the evidence for you ...

Re: Footballer jailed 5 years for Rape

Nigerians and posturing :) I think it is important to have an opinion, and not be apathetic. Equally, don't let your ego prevent you from learning, and changing your opinion. Maybe it is just CE, but I haven't come across that many folk here who strike a balance. The issue in this thread appears to...

Re: Footballer jailed 5 years for Rape

Nope, you still haven't got it. If this is going over your head, you won't be able to understand basic principles of law. The CCRC considered the new evidence relevant. The appeal court does not rule that the evidence is relevant. It rules that the test for relevance is for a jury. Had the appeal c...

Re: Footballer jailed 5 years for Rape

Since the prosecution did not dispute the claim about sexual behaviour made by the defendant in the original trial, new evidence supporting that claim cannot lead to a different jury decision, unless the jury had somehow taken it upon itself to discount the claim for lack of evidence. In that case i...

Can somebody translate this nonsense he has written? :lol: :lol: :lol: The appeal process did not rule on the RELEVANCE of the evidence, clueless one. It ruled on whether the evidence should be ADMITTED. The judge then tells the jury that they may consider the RELEVANCE, IF ANY , of the admitted ev...

You don't know my view, you hypocrite. You've already admitted that you don't care what it is, so stop making a fool of yourself by commenting on it. And you are wrong. You don't understand the ruling. The appeal was not granted on the basis that the new evidence was relevant. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lo...

Re: Footballer jailed 5 years for Rape

:lol: The appeal was based on the new evidence from 2 witnesses that was not heard at the trial and it was granted. And in your view it was not granted on the basis of that evidence! And it was not relevant even though that was the basis on which the CCRC referred the case to appeal. :lol: :lol: :l...

Re: Footballer jailed 5 years for Rape

How some people can argue based on their own interpretation of how the law ought to be applied. The Appeal Court has made its ruling. You're here pretending to be lawyers. Fact, the previous ruling has been set aside. I don't know if the CPS will appeal or even pursue a retrial Apparently, they can...
