So how come one man was guilty of rape, the other wasn't?
When you read the court proceedings, the evidence given, you are left wondering how the jury reached these two different decisions and was the guilty one wrong. Poor defence, poor summing up by the judge? PC correct police action?
Obviously others are not happy about the guilty verdict as the CCRC are fast tracking their investigation into whether this was a miscarriage of justice.
None of the parties involved come out of this as anything but unsavoury and the mob attacks on the internet from both sides are disgraceful.
It's just coming on that Oldham will sign him.
Overall, it might have been better if all involved had waited for the CCRC investigation to be concluded.
