Why would anyone want to have sex with someone who is practically comatosed? If they’re that pissed it’s near enough necrophilia.
False rape claims aren't equivalent to Glendon getting a not guilty verdict.
Not guilty means that the jury didn't believe that there was enough evidence to convict beyond reasonable doubt.
Innocent means the event questioned didn't happen.
These are not the same thing nor should they be confused. This is not how our justice system works and it's why the law system doesn't use the word innocent.
Is the correct answer.https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1998/42/schedule/1/part/I/chapter/5
Article 6, point 2: "
Everyone charged with a criminal offence shall be presumed innocent until proved guilty according to law."
Therefore as he's never been proven guilty, he is innocent. Ched Evans is "not guilty".

That's not the point anybody is arguing but thanks for popping in.
well, except you were arguing a technicality that he's not guilty, not innocent. As has been defined, as he has been found not guilty he is also innocent.
No, I was arguing that a court can't find somebody innocent.
It's also worth pointing out the difference between the presumption of innocence that everybody has and the proving of not guilty which has been established.
When somebody tells you that you didn't understand the point they were making and went off on a tangent, the smart thing to do isn't to repeat that tangent and say "no here's really what you were saying". I know what I saying as I wrote it. You misunderstood it.
He has not raped anybody quite clearly and should be free to get on with his life as a totally innocent man. Anyone with any ounce of knowledge should be able to see that.
