Quote Ketteridge at 08 Jan 2015 11.59am Doesn't matter if I think he is guilty or not the court found him guilty after weighing up all available evidence so unless he wins the review he is a convicted rapist, so any debate on his guilt or otherwise is immaterial to the debate of whether he should play professionally again. His conviction is not relevant to the type of employment he is seeking,. To deny him that employment is to punish him twice for the same offence. He hasn't shown remorse but he would have served additional time for this, so again he would be punished for same offence twice. I would not like to see him at Palace but the law is the law and it is not for me to pick or choose who it should apply to, he has served his time and should be allowed to return to his employment as any other convicted rapist would be. So the real questions is are footballers role models and if the are what level of transgression will deny them entry into the profession. Very true, it's a disgrace that idiots make the sort of threats to clubs that are being made, the police need to trace those people down and give them some of the same medicine Evans received for his crime, have they never heard of the rehabilitation of offenders.

Unless of course every time a conviction is against our own inclination it gets overturned if the majority of the public don't like it as well. The arrogant cvnt is guilty, get over it and move on. Here's the ironic thing, they didn't seem quite comfortable convicting him. There was no unanimous decision and so jury was informed that he would accept majority verdict. They were then told that both cases were completely different and despite it being a joint verdict they could give different outcomes for Donaldson and Evans. The judges summing up and directions to the jury was somewhat loaded and this was one of the things the original appeal focussed on. Eventually jury came back with unanimous decisions on both, innocent for Donaldson, guilty for Evans and thus avoided going into a fourth week. Personally, its why I feel it may be time to go to trial by panel of judges as I feel they would achieve safer convictions or acquittals based on evidence not 'feelings'. Which basically suggests that the jury were undecided on Donaldson, not Evans. And that hits a key point of law. Donaldson could reasonably be said to have believed he had consent by the actions prior to sex (i.e meeting a girl, having a few drinks and going back to the hotel). Evans doesn't have that capacity. Its an important distinction, because it establishes the importance of the timeline of events. The case hinges on whether it would be reasonable for Evan to believe he had consent (once it was established that the victim was intoxicated). His actions prior to obtaining consent are key to his conviction - There is no reasonable case to accept that he could have believed he had informed consent by actions of the victim or his own. And this is why I have an issue with it. Theres so much misinformation going around its ridiculous. The complainant met Donaldson on his way back to the hotel. They were both in the Pizza place but not together. They didn't drink together. She bumped into him on his way to get a cab. He said 'Where are you going' she said 'where are you going' he said 'To my hotel' she said 'I'm coming with you'. She'd had 2 glasses of wine, 4 double vodka lemonades and a shot of Sambucca. I have had this amount several times and gone home with girls about the same level of drunkenness as me. Have I raped them? Have they raped me? Have we raped each other? Safest thing in future is to carry a pocket breathalyzer and a stack of consent forms.

Oldham were never gonna sign him they've just done it for the publicity. Beginning to feel quite sorry for Evans at the moment I hope a team who want him could just sign him and get it out of the way.

I agree with one of the earlier posts. He can claim he is innocent all day long and that's his prerogative. However he could come out and demand that the harassment of the victim stops. That might go some way to appeasing some of the baying mob. Can you imagine the reaction he was going to get playing away from home (in a football sense) if he eves does play again??

Concerned at the mindset/mentality of people who think the best reponse to this was to threaten the board member's daughter with rape to prevent a rapist being allowed at the football club. Ched Evans is a tw@t, but it would appear so are some of the people campaigning against him. "It's almost like a moral decision. Except not really cos noone is going to find out," Jez, Peep Show

Whether or not an implication was given beforehand if you put your trouser snake into an unconscious girl then that is rape because she has no means to object.
