In the match report from Saturday, the rarely-wrong Chron takes a swipe at some sponsors with:

And no longer were minor sponsors, such as those who paid the equivalent of the cost of three adult season tickets to air their moral objections, the centre of attention, on the one hand claiming the high ground and on the other enthusiastically scooping as much publicity out of it as they could.

Worth £20 million according to this, I wonder if he was ever approached to join the Latics board?

"A man threatened to ‘burn down’ the building of a sponsor of Oldham Athletic FC if the club signed convicted rapist Ched Evans.

Police are investigating the anonymous call, which was made to a sponsor in the days before Latics pulled out of the controversial deal with the Welsh striker.

A GMP spokesman confirmed that the sponsor, which has not been named, received a phone threat on January 5, this year.

The male caller said that the firm’s building in Oldham would be ‘burned to the ground’ if Evans signed to the football club."

It seems all the publicity might have helped Ched because new evidence has been submitted to the Criminal Cases Review Commission.

You have to question why this evidence wasn't submitted at the time of his original trial, his subsequent appeal and the subsequent appeal against the decision of that appeal?

Maybe the offer of money on his website has borne fruit?

In fairness the complexity a tough one and why only 2% success, it has to be NEW evidence to be considered as dont believe you can use anything available earlier from either camp? Could be wrong but a solicitor trying to explain it to me.

 

That was my understanding, of the law too.

You cant appeal on new evidence it has to be on a fact of law. The courts take this very serious and believe you should use your evidence at first instance or it just undermines the whole court

I suggest that you are talking complete bollocks.

 

Specifically for the CCRC:

And for the original appeal:

https://www.gov.uk/appeal-against-sentence-conviction/crown-court-verdict

You can appeal against your conviction or your sentence, or both.

 

You can normally only appeal if:

 

1. something went wrong at the trial - eg if an important court procedure wasnt followed properly

2. there's new evidence - like a witness who wasnt at the original trial (this is for appeals against a conviction only)
