My guilt-o-meter says 'she is a very fortunate lady' Your guilt-o-meter! Word of one person against another. On the one hand a teacher of many years with an unblemished record, on the other, a heroin addict who went off with 'travelers' when he was 15. You unerringly plump for the wrong'un - typical lefty. Damn that statistical data that shows a positive correlation between abuse in childhood and addiction, as well as behaviours such as running away. I mean what's the world coming to when the facts support an scenario. So you convict someone of sexual abuse based on the 'victim' being a heroin addict - indeed, what's the world coming to. Is that what I said? No, I said that assuming someone is lying about being abused because they are now a heroin addict is unfounded. You seem to be the one happy to clear someone if 'they're from a better employment background' and have an 'unblemished record'.

To play devils advocate, just because she was found not guilty it doesn't mean that he necessarily lied, but that reasonable doubt existed in the jurors minds - proving 'beyond reasonable doubt' is different from establishing a concrete proof. That of course doesn't mean that the guy was lying, only that he may have made it all up. That has to be proven beyond reasonable doubt as well. What is beyond reasonable doubt is that the prosecution should never have been brought forward in the first place. Asking a jury to convict someone on the mere word of one person concerning alleged events that happened 20 years before. Was that the only evidence offered, his word? The actual outcome seems to be that the jury could not reach a majority verdict. In reality she's been bailed for a week for the prosecution to decide whether it wishes to pursue a retrial. So I'd say its not quite as clear cut as people seem to think. It doesn't surprise me at all that the prosecution will waste yet more time and money trying to conjure up a case out of nothing - it is the fashion. The key phrase here is 'non-majority verdict' - The judge was willing to accept a 10-2 verdict, but that couldn't be reached. Which means at least 3 and possibly as many as 9 of the Jury returned a guilty verdict based on the prosecution and defences evidence.

As for the majority verdict issue. She was found not guilty by a majority verdict, how can that possibly mean that up to 9 jury members found her guilty?

What I am trying to say and probably not going a good job of it, is that if or where a non majority verdict can't be reached this would mean that up to 9 members of the jury thought she was guilty.

Don't you think it highly likely that the first trial split was 9-3 in her favour?
