Knew that was coming, the most lame conviction ever...La Liga said:
BTW, at which date did the management realise the "public had had quite enough"? On this specific occasion or another?

Perhaps not to the victim, though.
Would that be the victim that joked about the incident in her act by any chance?

Prison today eh? Serving life sentence for murder, this lady is pictured 'in prison' (Derbyshire).
Her case may be referred to the Court of Appeal (and her conviction may be quashed).
Nonetheless, hard places eh?

The evidence must have been very flimsy, bearing in mind the extreme lack of evidence heard at previous trials that did go ahead ...
There been quite a lot of total allegations. Quite a few haven't reached the trial stage as they didn't meet the 'realistic prospect of conviction' threshold. Those who seem to think the police / CPS are hell-bent to prosecute everyone conveniently forget several people have had no further action taken against them after the CPS have reviewed the evidence. This included people right at the beginning of the Yewtree investigation.
Some reached the trial stage but were found not guilty. The inference drawn by those with bias and agenda is that this is because the cases are "flimsy". They ignore the fact 'not guilty' verdicts are part and parcel of a working justice system. The threshold for prosecuting someone is made on a lower threshold of proof than the threshold of conviction. There's a lot of room for reasonable doubt in this gap.
Secondly, the defence can still then apply to have the trial / specific charges stopped at 'half time' if they feel there were not a case to answer.
The question is if it were so flimsy, why didn't they? Are they all in on "it" too?
One charge was stopped at the point at the Bill Roach trial, so apparently defence teams and judges are aware of it...

You're quite right. Still not much fun.
Given that she had been making a joke of it for 20 od years I doubt it was that upsetting for her.PurpleMoonlight said:

nless that has been her coping mechanism.
Yeah, good luck with that.She did had the will and motivation to go through the criminal process and make a complaint. So my original point is supported by that, which was suggesting the victim probably didn't think it were "the lamest conviction ever". Unless people will suggest she does and yet still made a complaint.
Either way, It's not relevant and if it makes people feel better the 'attack' the victim, then they can feel free (I await someone mentioning compensation etc next). It doesn't fundamentally alter the fact he committed an offence upon her and she had he right to seek a criminal remedy.
