I think Rosanna Cooney has done a stellar job reporting this in a neutral fashion. Fair play and all that
If Jackson and Olding are acquitted then Harrison is too.
Your own view aside, what verdict(s) do you think the jury will reach?
On one charge
Having carefully studied the 6,685 posts on the original thread and the 1,805 posts on this thread, I have reached the following conclusions on the trial outcome.
All charges will have a verdict of not guilty based on reasonable doubt, with the exception of Harrison. The jury will want to be seen to be considered and balanced in their deliberations, and the fat guy is the obvious target.
Guilty
All defendants on all charges?
Will you re-brand if you are spectacularly wrong?
I’m due a rebrand anyway mate
You should rebrand with the clocks going forward, it would make it easy to remember.
Anyone reckon the judge is swaying in either direction…?
Looks that way. Even propping up the establishment re investigation
Do you think she is going in the complainant’s favour?
Looking like it alright. She definitely closed off a few roads for the defendants
A jury will invariably do whatever they want regardless of what the judge tells them.
Yeah - no emphasis/speculation to be put on the vaginal rape charge for Olding, the PSNI supposedly botched investigation and excused the complainant’s inconsistencies…also emphasised on Dara Florence saying she was 100% sure PJ had sex and PJ denying it. This is pretty much the defence’s whole case…
For the first time, I think there’s a strong possibility of Jackson being found guilty.
what a chump
There could be 4 less flutes played this July 12th.
Gas craic
Jackson denying having sex with the woman when an independent witness 100% saw should set alarm bells ringing in any of the juror’s minds.
Jackson and Harrison to go down.
Olding and McIlroy to get off.
So difficult to predict. I guess the jury will have seen body language/tone also which could also influence them in who they believe.
