The general theme seems to be 'investigation' is not something the police are competent at.
They fail at the basic stuff like reading texts or other things that are demonstrable facts (skid lines) they tend to depend on verbal & hearsay evidence instead. Assumptions seem to be popular. They don't seem to learn or be afraid of being wrong.
They put people under suspicion for years without producing any valid evidence.

I've got a bit of inside knowledge on this one and not surprised that he was found not guilty. The way that the original case was handled was terrible. He's a cheating chunt, but that's a far cry from being a rapist and not a crime.

The sex history is irrelevant because the girls have sex too when they want.
The good thing that I see here is, in the UK the rape victims are maintained anonymous, even that the scroat 2 didn't respected.
Sounds like you are letting your feminism cloud your judgement. No one is denying he's a scroat but as Veteran said, he's not a rapist.

So if a man was accused of rape and his previous lovers were interviewed and they said 'Oh yes he was a bit forceful in the sack, I didn't always fancy it but he insisted.' Would you ban that testimony?
Her ex lovers said she appeared lucid & in control and then in the morning had forgotten all of it. This rather exonerates Evans, he is however a still a scumbag just not a rapist.

Originally posted by vetran View PostScroat 1 picked her up with the clear intent of sharing her, this was made very clear by his actions including the text.
Originally posted by vetran View PostThe woman's sexual history is relevant, the accusation that her drink had been spiked was cast into serious doubt by her previous history so whilst you might not like it then its very clear it is important. She had done this before twice.So screwee-1 was obviously lying. I do wonder when one side is allowed a cloak and the other is stripped naked in public I'm all for complete disclosure.
Scroat 2 who is quite despicable was clearly not guilty of rape based on intoxication.
the reference to a person quite clearly suffering from mental illness but who has been abused by the law is a little worrying

And what has her being a woman got to do with it?

It said that two other men who had sex with the woman had described their encounters with her in highly specific terms that were virtually indistinguishable from Mr Evans's own account of what had happened.
One of the encounters occurred days before the alleged rape - and the other in the days that followed.
On each occasion the woman had been drinking heavily and the sex occurred in a very specific way - including the words she used to encourage her partner.
Each time she woke up saying she had no memory of what had happened.
I am left wondering just what sort of woman, had she actually been raped whilst drunk, would get herself into the same comatose state of inebriation a mere handful of days later?
Whilst I despise rapists in their entirety, the only people lower in morals are those who make false accusations of such a deplorable act. The worst side of it is that they then weaken the stance of future victims by crying wolf all too readily.
We also have a moral duty to bear in mind the principle of assumed innocence.
I believe that, in THIS case at least, the relevance of her cavalier attitude to casual drunken sex WAS a material fact that the jury ought to have been allowed to consider, and that, as a consequence, some Justice has been delivered.
