Nobody on here knows the grounds of appeal, nobody knows the evidence that was adduced and yet lots of people feel qualified to express opinions about the result. Ignorance is never a good foundation on which to base an opinion.

 

He was still found guilty... it was only the punishment that was changed

I think we all realise that but many of the comments and certainly those to which I was referring, relate to that change in the sentence.  Many claim it to be an unjustified change but have no idea of the arguments, mitigation or evidence that were put forward to the tribunal. That makes it impossible for any of us to make an informed judgement on whether the reduced sentence is appropriate.

Perhaps a bit more transparency would avoid wild speculation. It always better to tell the truth rather than people making up something worse.

Compare and contrast this to the verdict from the Rugby World Cup citing committee, over the Piers Francis high tackle.

One is a successful and professionally run organisation that understands and respects it’s players, sponsors and supporters.......the other seems to be the complete opposite, and doesn’t appear to care what anyone thinks either.
