Ha, good enough for the scumbag. Hopefully this is just the start of it.

@Arthur got an unmerciful going over in here last night.

He got a very athletic going over

Surely Tesco would take a more moral stance ?

It’s not listed on their website and it has other whiskeys.

@balbec

The DPP decided not to pursue a criminal case against him presumably because they didn’t think they had strong enough evidence to get a conviction. The victim took a private civil case against him for assault. The level of proof needed in a civil case is lower. I stand to be corrected by @artfoley

I believe the state take the case in a criminal case. The victim is a witness.

In a civil trial she’s taking the case.

[Kyle]

Is that what you learned from second captains?

[flattythehurdler]

So here is the thing. The DPP felt there was no realistic chance of this prosecution succeeding to the degree. If they had prosecuted and he was found innocent, of if they prosecute now and he’s found innocent (not proven as in Scottish law seems a better term, but anyhow), will all of the media outlets be liable for libel ?
This is a genuinely interesting question, if you take the heat of the situation out of it.

The values of the Carphone Warehouse

I don’t think they can decide to prosecute now having declined twice to do so.

So in that case the DPP couldn’t have gone after Ian Bailey again, or does that rule change if new evidence is found?

I’m no expert but I think the jury was 9-3.

Would that be an indicator it would go the other way in a criminal case?

[Kyle]

A civil case hinges on the most likely set of events transpiring. Bit of a no man’s land really if you’re looking for stone cold guilt . But a jury did hear a tonne of evidence to come to that verdict.
A criminal case , guilt needs to be beyond reasonable doubt. A very high bar.

Reporting that he was found libel for rape isn’t a problem i dont think.
Calling him a rapist based on the most likely set of events does seem shakey but media seem comfortable so they must be on solid leagal ground to do so.

It’s sad that i have to preface this by saying i think he did it but if i dont ill be doxxed and face a day of being called a rape apologist.

I don’t know where you find the patience

We cant let bullies win. They’ve already driven tonnes of lads off here (RIP)
I’m standing up for them.

What’s the latest on Tattle @Spidey?

Imagine getting a bottle of that as a Christmas present?

I see the stout is also being dropped.
