[QUOTE="Mr-shifter, post: 320667, member: 4949"] You have to have faith in the British legal system. A conviction will only be made if 12 members of a jury, that's 12 members of the public, such as you and I, come to a unanimous or near unanimous decision. I don't know how long they were deliberating or wether it was majority or not but in making the statements you have made you are saying that trial by jury doesn't work. That is the fundamental of the legal system in this country and a disappointing state of affairs. What you guys are basing your decision on is trial by media. You have no idea of the evidence presented in court that the jury based its decision on. In this country, due to the fact it is innocent until proven guilty, sometimes guilty people wriggle out of justice, but far less innocent people get convicted (in not saying the system doesn't make mistakes, just more likely the other way round) He is a convicted rapist. A jury has found that out. Until an appeal overturns this, that is what he is and how he must be treated. Likewise, the girl, no matter what you think of her, is a victim of rape. I think you guys will find if you look at your contracts of employment they will state if you get convicted of anything your employment will be terminated. You know these things so you abide by the law. It should be no different for this man. He has committed a crime and been rehabilitated by the prison system, however what he has done represents a huge character reference. And what does this say to all the young fans of a football club. If you have money and success you can do whatever you want and society won't care. He had an opportunity at a career many of us can only dream of. He blew it and I have no sympathy for him. [/QUOTE]
