[QUOTE="Bruce_ma gooshvili, post: 895579, member: 74121"] Summing up is often pure "theatre" rather than a rigorous examination of the facts but Jackson's QC has impressed me from the quotes I've seen throughout - his point on the police failing to scrutinise the allegation is particularly pertinent as is pointing out how much noise would travel through walls in the flat (i.e. you'd have to have a mental impairment to try and get away with a forcible rape in such an environment). A couple of articles below summing up the prosecution and the defence cases. The most notable passage in the two articles is possibly. "The prosecution accepted that there were "differences" and "inconsistencies" between what the alleged victim told a doctor and what she later told the police." Prosecution [URL]https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/www.bbc.co.uk/news/amp/uk-northern-ireland-43417587[/URL] Defence [URL]http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-northern-ireland-43432465[/URL] Paddy and Olding should be back for the next round of fixtures and hopefully the fans can forgive them for a promiscuous indiscretion. The prosecution don't appear to have identified or presented a real case which may betray poor media coverage of their arguments or a lack of faith in the prosecution in the accuser. I suspect the latter as the prosecution allowed 9 men on the jury (out of 12) which again shows a lack of willingness to put in a real effort to nail the accused. I applaud that from the prosecution if they had misgivings about their client (the defence do that all the time too if they don't believe their client). [/QUOTE]
