What do you think happened in this case? That he got off on a technicality? I haven't followed the detail.
No idea, I haven't heard all the evidence. Just commenting on the innocent vs not guilty debate |

You're innocent until proven guilty, therefore a not guilty verdict is practically the same as calling it an innocent verdict

I think I'm right in saying that in Scottish law, they do have a separate 'unproven' verdict or something which means they probably did it but not beyond reasonable doubt. Not relevant, just a vague memory of a law course I once did.
I think in Scottish law, "Not Proven" means the accused could be retried later, presumably in the light of further evidence. |

Being found 'not guilty' does not prove the person to be 'innocent'. If the judge or jury are not convinced beyond a reasonable doubt, then they must deliver a verdict of not guilty. This does not mean that the defendant is innocent. It means only that the prosecution did not convince the judge or jury beyond a reasonable doubt. Ince may or may not therefore be innocent of the alleged offence but the court failed to prove beyond reasonable doubt that he was guilty. Good luck with your upcoming jury service Sippo!  |

Not guilty or innocent, who gives a fuck if it means he can start adding a bit of bollocks to our eunuchy midfield.

...I would suggest Williams is careful when he tells him he's not playing - Hide all the Jack Daniels bottles first!  |

I can't believe more people haven't pointed out the true disgrace in the situation which is having a statement on a sodding Wednesday.
