theres going to be some serious backtracking from the media on this.
A few "moral" types who had a pop because he had the temerity to continue claiming innocence.
It was a dodgy conviction from the start

It was the CCRC that ordered the retrial, I think the CPS has to prosecute whether there is a case or not.

Though I may be grossly ignorant right there.

If the new evidence indicates he did nothing wrong he has the right to go back to court and be declared not guilty and have the media and people who discredit him know it.

The man served 2 and a half years in prison and lost 4 years of a short career.

Hopefully they will take the girl that made these false rape allegations to court so she can serve justice.

It was a completely a joke conviction. If getting drunk, having s£x and then regretting it in the morning is being raped then who hasn't been raped?

Ridiculous conviction and the media slammed him for protesting his innocence. Ruined the lads life

X amount coming out and saying just accept the decision, Jessica ennis threatening to have her name removed if sheff utd sign him.

Then there's people who will say no smoke without fire etc etc

How did they find him guilty in the 1st place

Why did she willingly go to his hotel with him at that time of night/morning ?

What was she expecting was going to happen ?

It all stinks of a stitch up to me.

The CCRC hasn't got any power to order a re-trial; that is the sole remit of the Court of Appeal. Clearly the 'new' evidence has had a bearing on the legitimacy of the original verdict by the jury, so, back it goes to trial. That's if the CPS are of the view, taking into consideration the new evidence and its impact, that there is still a reasonable liklihood of conviction. If not, or, say, prosecution witnesses don't want to go through with the trial again they may chuck the towel in.

he is a rapist skumbag, rich footballer who thought he was above the law..................

and his bint off a girlfriend stands by him even if he was innocent he cheated on her and had a 3some behind her back, shows how desperate she is to be a WAG...........

However i think he will get off with it although hopefully his football career is over........

Not having been a member of the jury, and not having heard all of the evidence in the trial in its entirety, I won't jump to the seemingly inevitable conclusion that he was or is 'a rapist skumbag' etc., I will let justice take its course instead.

Some people do not have the access to other sites or are not able to click on some links while at work.

Can't have been that pointless if you decided to read the post and then also make a comment.
