One point that's been missed out of this discussion is that Evans pre-booked the hotel room and gave the key to his mate. This was all planned before hand. They were looking for any girl and not too bothered about her condition.
Indeed. It wasn't to kip in.
At some time shortly before 4am McDonald became separated from the group of friends. The complainant seems to have wandered into his path. They had a conversation and got into a taxi.
So perhaps he went off out looking for a legless out of her head bird to get back to a hotel room for them all to fuck for a good laugh. Then having had some fun and realising the bird was in a real mess, they slip out the room, let the night porter know the bird was in a bad way (just in case she needs to go to hospital or anything I guess) and they slip out the fire exit.
I wonder if he had been an ordinary Joe and not a pro footballer would the case ever got to court, very much doubt.
I dunno how it works in England, but it's probably similar to up here. Something like - Police send report to Procurator Fiscal. They go through it all and decide if there is a case to answer and possibility of sucessful prosecution. If yes they proceed. Media has to keep out of it. Then in this case it's down to the jury, ordinary Joes like us. Nobody gives fuck whom the accused is, the system works the same for all.
There are shades of grey in this case. Is Evens guilty of rape, well that's for the jury init. Is there a case for an appeal, well that's for the process. Evens's pal is very lucky to get off the hook. And if this is not rape, it is certainly a case of sexual predators taking advantage of an incapacitated young girl. Sick bastards. Maybe there is a a gap in the law here.
If you cannot see that Ched Evans is being victimised by joe public and the media take your blinkers off. If the lad is guilty of rape he has been punished for it, he certainly is becoming the victim now.
Those guilty under law are to be not only punished but rehabilitated. Ched Evens has not been rehabilitated, he is an arrogant and sadly ignorant young man, whom thinks he and his mate can pick up seriously drunk birds, fuck, film and dump them for fun, he sees nothing wrong with this, and thinks he can now aftre a couple of years locked up pick up and continue his privileged life.
Unfortunately for Ched he doesn't work down at Tesco, he works in the public arena. It is the ordinary football fans who will decide if they want to go and see him play, they will decide if they wish to see him employed, and it appears a lot of them feel strongly that they no longer wish to go and see Ched Evens play.
Look he's a young fit man. He has blown it 100%. Some humility and he might have just made it back, but as it is, fuck him, he can go and find an ordinary job like the rest of us, he can go and dig ditches or something.
Here's a thought, if I forget to lock my door tonight before I go to bed, and somebody is sneaking aboot looking for unlocked doors, finds my door unlocked, pops in and removes my possessions...........well did I consent to this becuase I left the door unlocked?
If I am pissed there are lots of things I am not allowed to do. I'm not allowed to go to work, I'm not allowed to drive my car. Why? Well a big part of it is that my decision making process is impaired. So if you pick up a legless bird...........................
