robin for life Posted August 20, 2022 Report Share Posted August 20, 2022 North Sea Camp UTD team of 23 could be a quality side Mendy, Barton, Giggs, Greenwood & Sigurdsson . Probably even get a pre season friendly against Boston UTD! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hardly Mother Theresa I don’t really get the point of character witnesses in this sort of trial. If someone is accused of assaulting their partner, surely how they behave around their work colleagues or their boss is completely irrelevant as it is an entirely different dynamic? I struggle to imagine a murder trial where a defence team presented a number of people who were still alive to say they weren’t murdered by the accused and that be presented as some sort of defence and the logic feels similar… 10 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CodeRed Posted August 31, 2022 Report Share Posted August 31, 2022 What a huge cost, 2 week trial - 8 days of jury deliberation and no verdict. Should have simply remanded him in custody to Strangeways Gaol and slung him in a cell with a couple of Man City fans and let human nature prevail !!

Super Posted July 18, 2023 Report Share Posted July 18, 2023 Former Manchester United footballer and ex-Wales manager Ryan Giggs will not face a retrial on an allegation he assaulted his ex-girlfriend. It comes after charges were withdrawn by the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) at a hearing at Manchester Crown Court. Mr Giggs, 48, denied assault and controlling or coercive behaviour towards Kate Greville, 38, and assaulting her sister Emma. Judge Hilary Manley directed that he was not guilty on all three counts. The retrial had been due to start at Manchester Crown Court on 31 July. Jurors failed to reach verdicts following more than 20 hours of deliberations in his four-week trial in August last year. He was not in court as the judge had agreed he need not attend. His defence barrister, Chris Daw KC, said: "Mr Giggs is deeply relieved that the case has finally come to an end after almost three years of fighting to clear his name. "He now intends to rebuild his life and career as an innocent man." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedHienz Posted July 18, 2023 Report Share Posted July 18, 2023 Some of the comments on here now look a tad daft. Career ruined still. Does anything happen to those who started this? With Page at risk could a Wales return be on the cards? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddie Hitler Posted July 18, 2023 Report Share Posted July 18, 2023 I can't stand the bloke but his name has been dragged through the mud and his reputation ruined for accusations of which he has been found not guilty. This trial reminds me of the Dave Lee Travis one. Think he was a Yew Tree I love you? Think again. He lost his house, his wealth and his career and the only crime of whch he was actually convicted was to walk up behind a researcher on The Mrs Merton Show and jiggle her tits. Whilst that's not a good thing to do it hardly puts him into the Savile category. In his own words after the original acquittals: "I do not feel like there is a victory in any way, shape or form. On the contrary, I think you already know that I have been through a year-and-a-half of hell on this." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dave_Lee_Travis 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Red Posted July 18, 2023 Report Share Posted July 18, 2023 Mr Wright said there had been "protracted" efforts to find out why she was unwilling to co-operate with a second trial but prosecuting lawyers did not think it appropriate to issue a witness summons to compel her to give evidence for a second time.

That in itself should be reason for the second trial to proceed IMO Edit : just read the notes above regarding his partner not wanting to submit evidence a second time.

Eddie Hitler Posted July 18, 2023 Report Share Posted July 18, 2023 6 minutes ago, Selred said: Doesn't mean he was found innocent. I know. Many times people are acquitted when they have committed the crime of which they are accused, far less frequently people are found guilty when they haven't done it. He has not been found guilty of the offences so if you say that he has done them he could in theory sue you, but in reality wouldn't bother. The UK criminal justice system is far from perfect, but it just about does the job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
