Drink has clearly been a significant issue for him. Perhaps even a problem Sturgeon is going to have to be probed on what had been brought to her attention and when She also has some questions to answer on what she knew about Derek Mackay and when There is no way that the media is subservient to the two people who run the SNP, every major paper and media outlet are owned by supporters of the Union. The reaction of all the media at the court today is testimony to that, all trying to insinuate there was a plot against Salmond by Sturgeon, something fishy going on clearly 🙈.

Malinga the Swinga Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 To be clear first of all, I have never voted SNP and voted against independence and am no fan of Salmond. However, he has been found not guilty and that is that. On a different note, I have sympathy for the jury. I was on a jury for a rape and abduction case. Even with the benefit of CCTV, the final verdict was 8 v 7. I couldn't believe that we were so close but there you go, we sat and listened to the same statements for 7 days and yet the split was as close as one person. The level of proof that individuals require isn't set in stone, it is just a best effort to decide as honestly as they can. Without any physical evidence, it comes down to he said/she said, and the strict guidance that the judge provides in closing summing up. Every charge needed to be proven individually, you can't just say because so many people complained, then they must be telling the truth. Each one of them had to prove their own case and whilst 9 failed, 1 must have had a more compelling case but again, not enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leginten Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 Pretty distasteful thread, all in all. From the outset. Petty and premature glee at the hoped-for downfall of a politician, with scant regard to the issues involved. It’s the legal equivalent of the Hibs’ fans relegation party at Tynecastle a few years back. Gleeful distribution of party hats during the corteo from Roseburn followed by toys out the pram, tears and snotters, tantrums and recriminations in the aftermath.

i8hibsh Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 (edited) Wonder where all the "why would she lie about it?" die hard Nats are now. Perhaps time for them to admit that sometimes they do and there is always two sides to every story. An accusation should NEVER be the end of the story. I despise Salmond and wish him no good thoughts whatsoever but I strongly believe in justice and fair trials. Everyone does deserve a fair trial, absolutely everyone. I have to hope Salmond's was fair and as previously said the verdict was the correct one. A fat SNP prick he may be to me but if he is not a sex offender he is not a sex offender, simple as that.
