The real mystery is how come that fat bastard Hurley has never lost any weight.
Ratshit.
I reckon they are guilty as.
.
I'm surprised that Messrs Schollum and Shipton have not been interviewed for comment after either of their past two trials...
The verdict itself came as no surprise to me: the plaintiff's version of events had some significant deficiencies that counsel for the defendents exploited fully.

Should Shipton's wife face charges of contempt perhaps ?

A pox on slimey lawyers (when defending anyone, but me, who are guilty as sin)
Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?
Well,I am stunned,they were as guilty as hell,but its clearly not what you know is it!!
"The road to Hell is really grippy with loads of run off & some wicked lefthanders"
And they quite possibly are. But that's not the point. Twelve of their peers, presumably not complete idiots, listened, presumably attentively, to all of the evidence, and then came up with a carefully considered verdict. The judicial system in this country only allows two possibilities. A "not guilty" verdict simply means that the prosecution has failed to prove its case. Considering the difficulties that the alleged victim's evidence presented the verdict is hardly a surprise.
Age is too high a price to pay for maturity
Although I don't doubt they are guilty of all sorts of nastiness, I would be very concerned about the safety of a conviction when it is just one persons word against another without any corroborating facts.
It would be very scary indeed if someone could be accused of a crime and sent to jail, in the absence of any other evidence. That is how innocent people can end up behind bars.
I think the judge made this point very clear in summing up.
Whether they have been found guilty or not, the whole country have now heard the evidence and have an idea what they were up to. Don't imagine it has done their careers much good either.
Justice may not have been done, but the legal system is working as I would want it to.
Now Ill sit back and wait for the torrent of abuse that usually seems to follow when someone makes a comment based on facts, not emotions.
Beyond all reasonable doubt, fellas.
Don't forget that.
There was doubt.
Lawyers did their job. Whether you like the verdict or not. That's how the judicial system works. I bet if it were you up there you'd want reasonable doubt to apply.
And I to my motorcycle parked like the soul of the junkyard. Restored, a bicycle fleshed with power, and tore off. Up Highway 106 continually drunk on the wind in my mouth. Wringing the handlebar for speed, wild to be wreckage forever.
