Dion's latest activity

  • I don't really think the broader point that people can be not guilty in court, because court has a set of arbitrary rules which account for the severity of the punishment, but still clearly be guilty is that hard to grasp.
  • Dion replied to the thread Is Mainoo the real deal?.
    My main issue with Mainoo right now is his lack of intensity in possession when he doesn't have the ball. Paul Scholes ran the hardest he ever did in the 2-3 seconds after he'd just passed the ball to someone else, Mainoo lack's that little bit...
  • I wonder how many of those people would let Bill Cosby make them a drink at a party?
  • I've said this before, but beyond reasonable doubt is a standard for criminal courts, not for individuals. You cannot hide behind that standard of proof on something like this. It's abundantly obvious what is on that tape and that cannot be...
  • I'm sorry but this whole "the prosecutor misspoke" and the "key witness definitely isn't the victim and her family" is such a reach I'm just going to let other people judge the merits of it.
  • No she's not. You're no longer the complainant in a case once you've withdrawn from it. And it's not solely on the word of one prosecutor (although the prosecutor misspoke is a hell of a leap for someone who isn't trying to make a leap), it's...
  • Arresting people and then not charging them for it is a failure on their part. It's not a difficult concept. They could have charged him with breaching the terms of his bail. Again, this has been repeated to you multiple times, you're just...
  • Their baby was conceived some time in of October 2022 (DOB according to Greenwoods post is 11/07/23), the victim was still a complainant in the case as of 17th October 2022. The case was announced as discontinued on the 2nd of Feb 2023. There...
  • 1. When a defendant refuses to partake in the prosecution their statements are withdrawn. It's procedural. The victim was still an active participant in the investigation. 2. I mean... suuuuure. If this is the hill you want to die on. The key...
  • They arrested him because they caught him with the victim just before he was due to be charged for rape, he was never charged for breaching bail. He was charged for the primary offences (assault, c&c, rape). He was denied bail for those charges...
  • Saying this about someone who was charged with coercive and controlling behaviour, physical assault and rape, who escaped prosecution in part because of a witness, who he had broken the terms of his bail to see, withdrew from the investigation is...
  • Dion replied to the thread Ratcliffe austerity?.
    Not really relevant. Ratcliffe never said or implied it was easy. That's what good football clubs do, they beat the odds. On and off the pitch.
  • I literally does, he was charged in October. They ended the case early the following year after the victim withdrew. The victim statement was still in as of October 2022 when they charged him. I assumed you meant the date she withdrew the...
  • The statement from the CPP. And please, facts aren't wrong, you're just willfully misinterpreting them.
  • Dion replied to the thread Ratcliffe austerity?.
    We could have had Haaland for £20m if we'd had our shit together. It's reasonable that the next Mbappe isn't going to have had his dad kicked by Roy Keane (well... more reasonable anyway) either, which decomplicates matters.
