So Mason Greenwood is not guilty. I wonder if we'll be seeing him in a united shirt this season. As much as I find the verdict hard to believe, if he's not guilty then poor chap. It's ruined his career so far
To be specific, he has not been found not guilty, but rather the charges against him have been dropped. It is difficult to speculate on the reasons for this happening, the possibilities are wide ranging.So Mason Greenwood is not guilty. I wonder if we'll be seeing him in a united shirt this season.

Charges dropped by Plod/CPS so no verdict from a jury. He will revive his career.So Mason Greenwood is not guilty. I wonder if we'll be seeing him in a united shirt this season. As much as I find the verdict hard to believe, if he's not guilty then poor chap. It's ruined his career so far
Absolutelty. The issue for me is whether Manure should have suspended him. Smacks a bit of guilty until proved not guilty and that does not sit easily with me.Charges dropped - while one can debate the rights and wrongs of what might have gone on, he should now be free to resume his career.
Suspended on full pay, I personally think it was the right decision and I'm sure United have helped Mason in many ways with his court case.Absolutelty. The issue for me is whether Manure should have suspended him. Smacks a bit of guilty until proved not guilty and that does not sit easily with me.
But that is still speculation, we are not appraised with either detailed knowledge of either (a) the allegations or (b) the reason charges were dropped. I am not suggesting that this has happened, but for example there is always the possible scenario of charges being dropped due to a witness withdrawing their testimony in return for an out of court settlement.Absolutelty.

Alas practicality dictates that it is not always the case. Offenders can be detained in custody until their trial takes place when bail is not considered to be a suitable option.Makes no difference to me.
Our criminal law has a presumption of innocence until a guilty plea is entered or a guilty verdict delivered by the jury in the Court. The suspension of the payer in the interim cuts across that fundamental principle.
My point remains.Alas practicality dictates that it is not always the case. Offenders can be detained in custody until their trial takes place when bail is not considered to be a suitable option.
