No sure what the point of producing rumours here is.
I assume that a retrial is in order as there is some fresh evidence that if known at the orginal trial may have lead to a different verdict.
That doesn't mean it defiitely would have lead to a different verdict.

To be fair the bloke was destroyed by the mob after the original trial so it's no surprise that his successful appeal will generate debate again. |

Bringing up sexual history in rape trials is pretty controversial. Wasn't "that website" offering rewards for information too? Not sure this can end well. I hope justice is done. |

What's Ched looking at in terms of £££ if he's found to be innocent at the retrial? He was apparently on 20k a week at Sheff Utd when he got banged up, will his loss of earnings be taken into consideration? And future loss of earnings? Cos he ain't gonna get a £1m a year contract again anywhere!

Zero. I can't see how he can prove himself completely innocent beyond reasonable doubt. And as I understand it that is the criteria for compensation payment. |

£20k + Sheffield United promotion. His wages would have gone up significantly surely. Sadly, however, some blades fans have gone into over drive at the news and already asking for him back. He's still a convicted rapist, he just has a re-trial! |

Zero. I can't see how he can prove himself completely innocent beyond reasonable doubt. And as I understand it that is the criteria for compensation payment. How does he prove this Doobs? If the court say he is innocent why doesn't he have a cast iron case for compensation of all reasonably expected forms of income he has lost out on since being jailed? |

Think it's good news they are looking again. |

exactly
he is now innocent until proven guilty or not in the retrial
finding a jury unaware of all the background is going to be tough, given the media coverage

Think he got a rough deal and would back him at 1-2 in the re-trial

I'm sure we could find 12 Blondes more than capable of going on jury duty  |
