if that detail would give the name away then they obviously cant report it...Blumers Bloomers said:Excuse my ignorance here............would everything that is heard in court as evidence be reported in the papers? Other than the alleged victim's identity, is there anything else they can't report?
As there is one detail (other than the girl's name) that hasn't been reported as yet that I'm aware of? And beginning to think it must be complete b*llocks if its not been included in the evidence

I am thw same as you can only think the CPS has been leaned on from upstairsmackenzie said:I still can't see how the CPS thought the case strong enough to go to court after they dropped it the first time.

ffs it's just as well idiots like you are not in charge of the justice system

From what I have read there is no certainty that the girl has had any sexual relationship, up to the expert examination anyway. So should he be found not guilty why would you doubt it?

Well it would be 'not proven' rather than 'innocent' in my eyes anyway, although of course 'not proven' is only a verdict available in Scotland, not here.
that's the problem though isn't itRascal said:squirtyflower said:acquitted means not guiltyPinkFinal said:Acquitted doesn't mean innocent and I think, in this case guilty won't mean cast iron guilty either.

You have it right pal
Sadly whatever the outcome of the trial he will always be viewed as guilty by lots of people.
And the accuser will always look like somebody who has lied by many.
If there is no proof the lad has to walk free and it should be his right to be judged as doing nothing wrong.
Shit sticks though

What evidence have you read/heard that makes you believe he cannot be innocent?

Remember O J Simpson?
He got not guilty but everyone knows he did it!

Aside from any graphic descriptions of what might have gone on, I would have thought they would report anything else that might be pivotal. Are you hinting that you had been led to believe something would come out that so far hasn't?
As I understood it, all the evidence has been laid before the court now, and there is only closing statements and summing up to come.
