No, so perhaps that's not the evidence that's lead to an appeal.

Any hanging technique should not include a floor, goes without saying.
Not my quote
Indeed, apologies. It was Acker/s.
Where did you read about this new evidence then? There seems to be various sources that they have got statements from, one possibly being the girl she went to the Police with in a taxi. Presumably, she is a friend so it could be further testimony about her character and previous behaviour but equally it could be about things she said about the event in the cab on the way to the Police. We'll have to wait and see.
I agree with both of those statements.

I do not know him, only as per media coverage, so would neither like nor dislike him if found not guilty. As far as playing for BHA if not guilty and CH and his team think he would benefit us I would accept their judgement. Prior to this case he isnt somebody I had paid much attention to other than being a reasonable goal scorer.

Not seen such Bravery!
I'd rather we signed Obika, or even Best, than Evans.

Even if she is what most men class as a 'slag' does that mean she can be raped at will?

That would be for CH to decide who would serve us better, if we still needed a striker.

Why?
No. But then why have a dig at me for posting what I'd read. I didn't suggest it did
I don't believe for one minute that the only additional evidence is merely about her past behaviour. I doubt that the CCRC would refer the case just on that basis, as others have said, her past behaviour/character is irrelevant in determining whether this was rape or not. Those statements might be part of it but I suspect there is more information about the night itself. I think the telling part of the report was reference to a statement from the girl in the taxi with her on the way to the Police. At the end of the day, the crucial thing is whether she gave consent or if it was reasonable for Evans to consider consent had been implied. That all comes down to what the girl remembers and if there is evidence she recalls far more than she originally suggested then that, I believe, opens the door to the appeal.
Definitely, the article did go on to say about discrepancies relating to the chain of events on the night. I was merely signposting where the information could be found. I don't think appeal would be granted if there was no new evidence relating specifically to the night in question
Bit disturbing that this new evidence wasn't available at the time. I would think any conversations or people she had contact with either just before or after would have been spoken to. Has someone changed their statement or has this come from the girl since in conversations with people about the night.
Just in case you're checking your rights, no BG, it doesn't mean that. And no one said it did. There are just media reports, that's all.
It's all speculation at this point, we don't know.
And That's why we are speculating

One for Ched to watch perhaps...
I like it.
But, what if your friend is drunk and asks for tea, and you make them the tea, and give them the tea, and they've about to drink it, but you think they won't remember this in the morning, because they're really shit-faced - do you grab the tea off them and refuse to let them have the tea?

Exactly. Often when SMASHED I'm apparently desperate for a tea and I'll ask for 4 sugars to give me a lovely treat.
However, in the morning I don't remember having that tea, and when I find out I had one with 4 sugars, I'm REALLY angry at the person who gave it to me because I'm trying to cut sugar out of my diet.
In your hypothetical, the friend is drinking the tea themselves, you're not involved in the tea drinking. Step back and let them do whatever they want to themselves.
