Benjamin Mendy - City lose case and Mendy awarded £11m in back pay (p168)

[Roachy]

Nobody needs to apologise. The people who called innocent and the people who called guilty knew as much as each other. The story wasn't exactly the most favourable for him. People were well within their rights to think he could be found guilty.

You did see some of the comments, right?

We'll be kinda short of fullbacks if Kyle goes

Not really. He isn’t a nice guy but for some posters to tar Mendy as a rapist based on the flimsiest of evidence is very poor. Apologising isn’t the issue, people being biased creeps is.

So the people who immediately claim the accuser in any case like this is doing it for fame and money (who hasn't been publicly named btw) are any better?

People are always going to have their biases on cases like this. It's why courts don't consult Twitter.

For the record, I hope he's genuinely innocent and hasn't just escaped on a lack of evidence.

So not guilty but not innocent in your eyes then? Who needs a justice system hey?

Has he been proven to have no done it or is it a case of them being unable to prove that he did do it?

That's a genuine question, by the way.

You did see some of the comments, right?

Yes, just like every other major rape/assault scandal.

People on both sides want to burn the accuser or accused alive.

From Prison FC to Saudi FC soon I reckon.

I've been told he has helped pay for new mosque in s Manchester

Just a short introduction to legal terms required I think ...

What is the difference between innocent and not guilty? | MacDonald Law Office, LLC

When you're going through a criminal case, it's important to take a step back to look at the differences between innocent and not guilty. We're explaining the difference in today's post.

"

WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN "INNOCENT" AND "NOT GUILTY"?​

In short, "not guilty" is not the same as "innocent." Innocent means that a person did not commit the crime. Not guilty means that the prosecution could not prove "beyond a reasonable doubt" that a person committed the crime. Therefore, the court does not pronounce someone as “innocent” but rather “not guilty”."

Buzzing for the lad. Years of negativity and false imprisonment, loss of wages. Hope he sues his accusers for every penny they have

That isn't how the law/trials works.

He’ll be booking a flight to Saudi as we speak
