Ryan Giggs - an evening with..... in Hertfordshire (p115)

[Alan Harper's Tash]

In one of the poems he said this classic line that "she made him hard as a totem pole"

Is the next line “can’t wait to see you when I’m on parole?”

Complete waste of everyone's time then

Sorry I didn't know it was a private case.

I meant maybe she could take out a private case against him.

Pretty shabby by the CPS and the police if the evidence was not water tight to bring it to the crown court
sounds to me that the jury was sold down the river with little evidence and only had his words against hers

but like most cases like this, money for top lawyers worked for giggs because the jury failed

The lawyers will love that one!

Ha, yes they would , do it , do it, do it !

You have to question the wisdom of having the trial in Manchester. There again it'd be hard to find a town/city that isn't crawling with closet Rags.

The CPS have the same procedure in deeming which cases are likely to deliver a guilty verdict. If they are unsure, they likely don’t make it to court.

What they can’t know is what happens in the court case. A witness makes a mess of their evidence or some physical evidence may be disallowed due to poor procedure etc.

The defence only need to prove reasonable doubt, not innocence, too.

I'd love to know what "illness" the jury member dismissed last week for was...

That’s exactly why it was in Manchester. Far less % of rags than anywhere else!

Got you.
Think this result was on the cards the longer it went.
