My view is that:

- the verdict stands until proved otherwise or found unsafe. That's the law.

- he's allowed to earn any gainful employment that isn't specifically excluded under the terms of his sentence or his parole. That's the law.

In a different context, this organised furore about Ched reminds me of the similar organised furore about The Satanic Verses. Most of those protestors hadn't read Salman Rushdie's book and I think that most of those people currently objecting to Ched playing football again haven't read his webpage.

What would your view be if Evans was a Muslim?

My view is excactly the same as it would be for anyone who had faced those circumstances in that case,

 

Her's someone of the same opinion.

Id expect any players union to be supportive of a player. Its hardly an unbiased view.

Nobody has suggested that he shouldn't be allowed to return to football, its understandable that fans, sponsors and officials dont want him at their club.

Who seems to believe that Evans was found guilty of having it off with a woman who was a bit tiddly just like "thousands of men every day".

Not as far as I know, not even bought a Mini for her friend, like she reportedly said she would.

 

The recovered tweets are obtainable online

 

They're on Ched's website and are sent five months after he's been charged and five months before he's convicted.  They obviously have nothing to say on what happened in the Premier Inn.

That's not the website that I'm referring to, though the tweets may have been reprinted on Ched's website.

 

The one that I am talking about retrieved the deleted tweets as a computer exercise, not as a specific supporter of Ched Evans' case.

 

I'm not sure that I should post the link because I don't wish to compromise TRL.

Right.

What do they show or prove?

 

 

They indicate that she was in no way traumatised by her experience.

 

Jocular, it seems to me.

 

However, the tweet was posted several months after the incident,

And if that's true, which is pure supposition on your part how does this translate into evidence of Evans' guilt or innocence? Or indeed the effect that the assault had on her?

They could indicate all sorts of things or nothing at all. To be able to conclude that she was in no way traumatised is an act of monumental and wanton ignorance.

Presumably people who are paid out compensation shouldn't spend it on pleasurable things, or look forward to how they might spend it.

 

Nobody who has been unfairly dismissed would write gleefully about taking their old firm to the cleaners.

 

Someone who does not weep at their mother's funeral must be guilty.

To say that I had concluded that she was in no way traumatised when I said that it indicated that she was in no way traumatised is an act of monumental and wanton arrogance.

 

Still, insight and accuracy were never your strongpoint.

But it doesn't indicate that

Your own standards of correctitude, and empiricism are a beacon that guides the ignorant, those who lack the very insight that oozes from your every post on the path of meaningful discourse.

With that in mind can you back your last statement up?

Yes, these have been posted on Ched's site crediting the hacker. 

 

Couple of things on this.

 

1 - they don't refer directly to the rape or Ched Evans - they could easily have been talking about the lotto

2 - some people are money-motivated - even if she was going for the kill for a payout, that doesn't necessarily change what happened. Plenty of people who suffer crimes make money from them. Even if she was discussing this, it may be distasteful, but not illegal.

My apologies, I should have said indicated and not concluded.  The rest of my statement stands.

and there's the subjective issue. If she was absolutely hammered, as some reports suggest, she would have been incapable of consenting and as such non - consensual sex took place

She p**sed the bed Robin.  I think that's a fair indication that she was hammered and not "fair game".
