I never said it didfredmont said:The cookie monster said:Me toofoxy said:That's what I was thinking. His whole personal life has been exposed to the public.
He has had his personal life dragged through the courts
Especially the bit abt drinking 6 or 7 pints every night for 20/30 years
I'm sure it was a reference to that.
There was no evidence that drinking ever got him into trouble, why should he stop?
People weren't discussing it though, they just had him down as guilty; no ifs, buts or maybes. As for me; I posted several pages back that I had no idea whether he was guilty or not, and that all I expected was that he was given a fair trial.The Flash said:wayne71 said:pominoz said:You expected no opinions to be posted in the cellar about such a high profile case?
Many people had him down as not guilty, should they have waited until after the trial, as well?
There is also the fact that he still could be guilty, it has just not been proven..
Well that's just plain daft, we may as well just bin the legal system and jail anyone who is ever accused of a crime...
Unless any new evidence is produced then the guy is not guilty.
I think what Pom was getting at was that such a high profile case would always be discussed in the cellar, people would have their opinions and share them. In repsonse to JH who seems to think cases shouldn't be discussed at all before there's been a verdict.

That was his own defence team that labeled him a weak, stupid, drunk.

I this it was his own defence team that called him that not the prosecution.

Would've been amusing if he cracked his own defence team.

There's a huge difference between telling a barefaced, vindictive lie about a rape that demonstrably never took place and a situation where it's one person's word against another. Le Vell might have lied through his teeth for all we know. Only he and the girl know what really happened.
But the prosecution failed to make a strong enough case. That's the outcome here. To me, that's one of the weaknesses of a jury based system. Cases aren't necessarily decided on the pure facts but on how the two sides present their case.
My dad was on a jury for a fraud case and he said that there was little doubt in the jurors' minds that the defendants had done it but the prosecution case was poorly presented & failed to prove it beyond reasonable doubt. Therefore they returned a not guilty verdict.
Don't think you are getting it. The prosecution didn't have a case to present.
The CPS obviously thought they did have a case or they wouldn't have taken it to court and wasted thousands of tax payers money.
